Description:

Best of Nashville blues and soul singer Roscoe Shelton, who has performed with Otis Redding and others! The early Exelo era is good, but many of Roscoe's best songs are from his later label years. This album is truly a definitive collection of such hits from the Battle, Jim's, and Sound Stage 7 era from around 1963-68, including "Strain on My Heart" and "Easy Going Fellow," as well as classic songs written by his allies Bobby Hebb and Huey Piano Smith. The lush, high-tone shouts are fresh even today.
