Arnie,

There was also a Bear Family release BFX 15280 'Red Sails in the Sunset'. This focused on Puckett's swansong for Bluebird and sampled 4 Atlanta sessions between August 1939 and October 1941. On the sleeve notes, Tony Russell gives a quote from Riley's widow about his eclectic tastes:

[He listened to] anything and everything ... The radio was the first thing that went on in the morning. He could sit and listen to a song ... one time and just pick it up.
