"Goodbye Greenwich Village" - 1960s Tommy Scott from OOP Joker albums


Finally got around to transferring two long out-of-print Joker albums, simply titled "Country & Western" (Vol. 1 & Vol. 2) and credited to "Tommy Scott and His Country Caravan".

I became interested in these albums because of the track "Goodbye, Greenwich Village" (spelled "Good Bye, Greenwich Village" on the album jacket), which is basically a set of commonplace "floating" blues lyrics (very much a remake of Tommy Scott's own "When A Man Gets The Blues") with some references to folksingers and a rather Dylanesque arrangement to the tune of Dylan's "She Belongs To Me."
