No need to say anything, really. The tracklist speaks for itself. Timeless music

The man has Taste. Requiring listening for any serious fan of 20th century popular music.

Yeah, I've got that cd. Fantastic stuff...all the selections are quite soulful. A great listen.

Its availabe in FLAC at Demonoid(along with alot of the other UNCUT freebie discs)

It's a staple for me during Mardi Gras.

I tried to order a copy of that magazine but apparently they don't ship to the US.....

I have been collecting Uncut and Mojo's free CDs since 2002, and this one is on top 5..time for a list?

Great set of songs Keef picked and at the time was way-cool ta
see him slot in Booker T's groove slice on Slim Harpo's Scratch My Back ....

The BookerT version was cut somewhere between 66-68 but remained unreleased till 1995....

Up there with their smoldering Home Grown ....



ROCKMAN

Yeahhh you're all right of course !

I love this incredible Amos MILBURN 's " Down the road apiece " .



It's by far , my favorite of the CD ,if I had to choose only one...

HMN

Yeah Amos is the dogs Bollox,theres a great double cd of him available buy it.

Right on Rockman! Some incredible grooves on that one. And what about Hip Hug Her???? WHEW! That break down with the Cropper's lead is one of the most exhilarating smack of gut bucket guitar scratched on vinyl. Awesome!

Great CD with unbelievable sound quality.
I can't believe Skip James didn't make it in there

Never heard of this - great songlist

thanks for the tip!!!

Love it. Got the magazine and the CD a few years back from a friend.

'Doo doo doo Heartbreaker'

I forgot to add that the best surprise for me on this CD
was Clarence "Bon Ton" GARLOW, never heard of him before



and don't get any other shot of him too

HMN

Yeah Honestman .... try trackin down Garlow's Route 90 cut in 1954...

Ya get the feeling it just mighta gave Chuck Berry some idea's for Sweet Little Sixteen 1958.....



ROCKMAN

A great cd compilation, listen to it on a regular basis...I just wonder how much input Keith actually had in track selection, I like to think he really did choose them all personally - but I have my doubts!

I will try...

This IS an awesome disc - I'd like to see a vol.2 !

There's anoter "Uncut" CD titled THE DEVIL'S JUKEBOX (I think) w/the Stones on the cover -- it's the original versions of songs the Stones recorded. Very nice to have.

Yeah!

It inspired me a while back to make MY version.
I have between 700-800 original blues recordings from 1928 on and I was proud to see my version held up nicely to Mr. Richards selections.

I didn't forget Skip James

First post updated with a list only as it seems that Bv has removed the Artwork

I can't remember hearing Ruler of My Heart (Irma Thomas) song before. It sounds like either Otis's "Pain in My Heart" was inspired by this, or perhaps the opposite.

Anyone know the story of these two songs?

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

as a rule, pain follows being ruled

an above-average magazine giveaway.

>> Anyone know the story of these two songs? <<

sure, CindyC my dear! this here seems to be correct even though it's from wikipedia:
'[Irma Thomas] then began recording on the Minit label, working with songwriter and producer Allen Toussaint
on songs including "It’s Raining" and "Ruler of my Heart", which was later reinterpreted by Otis Redding as "Pain In My Heart".'
