- I've found that the Charly compilations are good too, if you want a
- representative sampling of any of the King/Federal artists. They come
- with decent liner notes. Another source of the King/Federal sides are
- the compilations put out ostensibly by King. These 12-20 song compilations
- are available at the cut-out bins at *Tower*. The one here in Austin has
- always contained more than a few titles. They typically cost $7.99. They
- have no liners, but the sound is good.
-
- Some of the artists whose CDs I've come across are, Wynonie Harris, Roy Brown,
- Ivory Joe Hunter, Champion Jack Dupree, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Jimmy Wither-
- spoon, Albert King, Freddie King, Tiny Bradshaw, Earl Bostic, Hank Ballard,
- Wild Bill Dogget(sp?) and others.
