I wonder if there's much overlap with Flyright Fly's CD 948, Radio
Broadcasts 1952, which has 16 cuts, including "I Gotta Have My Baby Back," a
really spiffy dance number called "River Road Two-Step," and "Be My Life's
Companion," as well as a Hank Williams song ("I Can't Help It"), Leon
Payne's "Lost Highway" and, I kid you not, "Sixty Minute Man." Curley
Chalker plays steel on almost half of them. I remember when the album was
out as an LP, so that set has been around for a while in that form.
