BOBBY CHARLES Small Town Talk (1988 UK 10-track compilation LP, picture sleeve with detailed liner notes on the reverse. Pioneer of what became known as 'swamp pop', essentially rhythm and blues from the deep south, Charles also wrote See YouLater Alligator and Walking To Orleans. This collection, on the ever-reliable See For Miles label, is a repackaging of his 1973 release for Todd rundgren's Bearsville imprint and features a stellar supporting cast; Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Dr John, Bob Neuwirth and more. The sleeve shows only light wear and the vinyl appears unplayed - well worth further investigation SEE218)
