I forgot to post this last month, so here you go...from our friends at AltCountryTab.ca, the monthly Feel Bad For You comp. Download the zipped file here for one week only.
1. Carolina Chocolate Drops - Hit 'Em Up Style.mp3
Buy: Genuine Negro Jig (2010)
Comment: Rootsy 3 piece band out of Durham, NC
2. Jeffrey Foucault and Mark Erelli - "Tom Merritt"
Seven Curses (2010)
Comment: New from JF teamed up with Mark Erelli to record an album of murder ballads.
3. Camille Yarbrough - "Take Yo' Praise"
Iron Pot Cooker (1975)

5. Gram Rabbit - "Dirty Horse"
Albion Records compilation (2004)
Comment: Mojave Desert weirdness from Jessika Von Rabbitt and her gang.
6. Jean Shepard and Ferlin Huskey - "Forgive Me, John"
Single (1953)
Comment: Korean War love triangle melodrama, follow-up to "A Dear John Letter." No apologies I love this stuff. Shepard's husband, the splendidly named Hawkshaw Hawkins, died with Patsy Cline in that tragic plane crash.
7. The Shadows - F.B.I.mp3
Single (1961)
Comment: This is the sound of the first Fender Stratocaster ever imported into the UK by Hank Marvin in 1959. Before the Beatles, the Shadows ruled the UK charts as well as other Anglosphere ex-colonies like Canada, where Neil Young copied Hank Marvin's tremolo action for The Squires. Lennon also acknowledged Hank Marvin as an inspiration...an English four man lead/rythmn/bass/drums format that rocked and sold millions.

17. Whitey Morgan and the 78s - "Another Round"
