Description by OLDIES.com:

The focus is squarely on the fabulous east Texas honky tonk sound, and this set includes such 'D' classics as Claude Gray's Family Bible (a Willie Nelson-penned Top 10 country hit), Hardrock Gunter's Jumpin' Mule, Bill Mack's John's Back In Town (written by and featuring Waylon Jennings), and early Willie Nelson, featuring unissued takes of Night Life and Rainy Day Blues.
