My favorite Gene Autry compilation:

On Columbia/Legacy - CK 64987 - Gene Autry Blues Singer 1929-1931, "Booger Rooger Saturday Nite!"

Liner notes claim that Autry "actually began is illusrious career performing and writing authentic and magnificent country blues..."

It has some great stuff, including Birmingham Daddy, The Rheumatism Blues, In The Jailhouse Now No. 2, Bear Cat Papa Blues, Wildcat Mama Blues, A Yodeling Hobo, T.B. Blues, Slu-Foot Lou, Stay Away From My Chicken House, Waiting For a Train, Frankie and Johnny, My Rough and Rowdy Ways, etc. There are 23 tracks.
