King Curtis, Country Soul (1962)

King Curtis, Country Soul (1962)
Tuesday's lunch record is by R&B sax master King Curtis. This album is on Capitol records released in 1962. This unusual venture of the hot rhythm and blues leader into unchartered territory melds his blues sax jazzy sound into the country music sound. The repertoire shows his versatility with questioning  results. Songs include "Your Cheating Heart", "Home On The Range", "Night Train To Memphis", "Raunchy", "I'm Movin' On", "Tennessee Waltz", "Walkin' The Floor Over You" along with others. The YouTube sample song is "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8vst0hIJdU . . bucko
