Itchin'
James Moore, better known to the world as Slim Harpo, created the greatest works in the history of modern civilization in any medium. One of these is "Baby, Scratch My Back", presented here along with several worthy other versions, plus an unrelated but nonetheless excellent slab of limey fuzz also entitled "Scratch My Back". The Otis Redding and Booker T. versions contain some of Steve Cropper's finest moments, in my unwanted opinion.

Country Comedy
In 1972, the Statler Brothers introduced us to Lester "Roadhog" Moran and his Cadillac Cowboys. They were an exaggeration of an awful country band trying to make it in Nashville, complete with a 15 minute radio show on Saturday mornings on the fictional WEAK in Rainbow Valley. They also played the Johnny Mack Brown High School dance every Saturday night and released two albums, Country Music Here And Now and Alive at the Johnny Mack Brown High School. Listen to Alive and you will become a fan of the Statlers.

"Not Even a Mediocre Time...!"
Who is Cathy? Who are Poag and Hutcheson? When and more importantly why was this disc ever recorded? Completely mysterious and practically indescribable, I offer you the Epic "My Name Is Cathy."
