Props to JUST for doing the Digipak... got
the same one here but apparently our
friends missed the 19-track bonus cd.
Enjoy...

And here's what the AMG has to say:

Not quite a new album and not quite a
compilation, Bobby Charles' 2004 release
Last Train to Memphis is closer to a
clearing-house for little-heard recordings
than a proper album. Billed as a
single-disc release paired with a bonus
disc, the two-CD set contains a total of
34 songs, and since there is no distinct
difference between the two discs, it only
seems appropriate to treat it all as a
sprawling double album. Jim Bateman says
in his perfunctory, largely biographical
liner notes that this album "fills in the
years between his critically acclaimed
1972 Bearsville release and today," which
is certainly true, since all 34 songs on
the two discs were recorded sometime
between 1971 and 2001. The liners do
detail the individual recording dates and
lineups for the tracks, but it's hard to
tell when and where -- or even if -- these
songs came out prior to this release. This
is particularly true because not only does
the sequencing make no chronological sense
-- the first disc hopscotches from 1999 to
1979 back to 1975 then leaps ahead to 1997
before going back to 1984 -- but because
Charles' music is so consistent in both
tone and quality it's hard to tell when
these recordings are from, based on the
production or performance. Of course,
there's a certain charm to that. Very few
artists could have such a patchwork
assembled and make it sound cohesive,
which this certainly does. This all flows
from his brilliant eponymous 1972 album
for Bearsville, which blended his
signature spin on New Orleans R&B with an
Americana bent borrowed from his friends
in the Band. Overall, it's a little
slicker and smoother than the
loose-limbed, rustic Bobby Charles --
plus, its sprawling nature means it's not
nearly the compulsive listen as that
underappreciated gem -- but it's
consistently satisfying, filled with
satisfyingly modest new Charles originals
and friendly, engaging reworkings of
warhorses like "See You Later Alligator."
So, even if Last Train to Memphis is
frustrating when closely inspected, if
it's taken as just a collection of 34 fine
Bobby Charles recordings, it's very
pleasurable, and not in the least because
there are so few Charles recordings that
it only seems right to savor every one.
