Just added are:
◾Sitting on Top of the World - Mississippi Sheiks (1930)

Cool. I would also include their mention of Folk Songs of the Hills - Merle Travis, a great album.

Rumors - not so much. Fabulous to see zero Eagles titles. I can handle Take It Easy about once every five years, whereupon I will crank the car stereo and sing along at high volume and then... forget it for another five years

Thanks for the post. I've been going through previous years and finding more than a few pleasant surprises--but given the talent, I shouldn't be at all surprised.
