I'm looking for a definitive CD or two of recordings by Jimmie Driftwood. The only thing I could find is the Americana 3-disc set from Bear Family. It's $62 at Amazon, and that's a lot more than I like to pay for three CD's. Maybe I'd be better off getting it instead of scrounging around and coming up with three ten-cut CD's that have a lot of duplications. Here is the list of tracks on the CD collection.
Can anybody suggest something cheaper?
