Notes
Limited 180 gm vinyl LP housed in an expanded gatefold tip-on jacket. Digitally remastered edition of this 1972 album from the Swamp Rock pioneer. Bobby Charles wrote the early Rock 'n' Roll classic "See You Later, Alligator" (best known via the version by Bill Haley And the Comets). Another early gem penned by Bobby Charles was 'Walking to New Orleans' as recorded by Fats Domino. But the main reason that musicians like Andy Cabic of Vetiver sing his praises (and cover his songs) is for Bobby's 1972 self-titled album released on Bearsville. A virtual who's who of classic Roots Rock - the album features 10 Bobby Charles classics supported by the likes of Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, and Richard Manuel of the Band, long time Neil Young sidekick Ben Keith, Bob Dylan's former running mate Bob Neuwirth, session maverick Amos Garrett, the esteemed Dr. John, Geoff Muldaur and several others.
