I'm not clear on this - is this "1959-60 Southern Journey" completely different from the "Southern Journey" series that was released on the Rounder label? It appears to me, that's the case. The notes say recordings were first issued for the Atlantic and Prestige labels in the early '60s - I've coveted that Atlantic box set for twenty years, but it was always too expensive. Now it's available on Spotify, and the sound quality is excellent.

Will the Rounder albums continue to be available, and will there be a way to get liner notes from the Rounder recordings? It appears that the Rounder recordings are available for download at $9.99 per album, but I see no way to access the notes - and the terrific notes were half the value of the CDs for me.

There are high-quality liner notes (but no lyrics) available for download at the Global Jukebox Website, http://www.culturalequity.org/features/globaljukebox/SouthernJourney/ce_features_SouthernJourney.php
