#1: Mel Tillis Album - Signed in felt tip marker. Overall in fine condition with minor handling wear to the edges. Authenticated by Beckett/BAS with a full letter of authenticity.
Me and Pepper was Tillis' first album for Elektra and boasts two Top Ten hits, the excellent "Blind in Love" and the cheating ballad "Lying Time Again." The album tracks are so strong that any number of them could have been hits as well. There isn't a bad track in the bunch, but "All My Love" and "Let Me Be the Keeper" are particularly promising in that regard. Jimmy Bowen's production avoids the trendy touches that would date the album today, so it sounds fresh and agreeable decades later, with the possible exception of the keyboard sounds. The title refers to Tillis' horse, Pepper, who is pictured on the cover with Mel astride. Incidentally, Mel's daughter Pam Tillis contributed background vocals.
#2: Emmylou Harris Album - Signed on the cover in felt tip marker. Album is Included, Overall in fine condition with minor handling wear. COA from Beckett/BAS.
White Shoes is a 1983 Emmylou Harris album, composed of an eclectic collection of material. A rockish version of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend", a country remake of the Donna Summer hit "On the Radio", and a version of Sandy Denny's "Like an Old Fashioned Waltz" were all included. Both "In My Dreams" and "Pledging My Love" hit the #9 position on the Billboard Magazine country music singles chart in 1984.
