While CCD 276 is dedicated to the early studio recordings, this album concentrates on radio transcriptions of the last decade of his life. Wonderful soulful ballads with fiddle, steel backing and so with such great musicians as Jerry Byrd, Bud Isaacs, Tommy Jackson, Grady Martin and many more. The CD proves that Hawkshaw was the perfect show man.
