To some the international best seller ‘I Can Help’, a pop country crossover hit in 1974 is all they can recall by Billy Swan. To many however they know there has been a rich and deep catalogue of excellent country/pop rock/rockabilly recordings produced by Swan since the late 1960’s.

Currently he is on tour with renowned rock’ n ’roll guitarist James Burton. Swan has also contributed to contemporary albums such as “A New Highway”, aka Viva Americana volume 2, and collaboration with Randy Meisner and Charlie Rich Jr.
Thus we present a compilation that encapsulates the Swan sound. From the days with Kris Kristoferson, Tony Joe White in the late 60’s and the years with Monument Records, when they were considered part of a Nashville Underground scene, right up to Swans return to the Sun Recording studios in Memphis for his most recent albums.

It has age and depth, but is also timeless, as is much of what is today called Americana that catch-all label for American roots music.
