Review:

Jim Clark

A bargain CD with the mystical capitalization and song titles of such endeavors. However, it gathers some pretty good performances from back then, and though I sure would rather listen to Cisco without Woody, these are well-chosen. Can be heard elsewhere, but the quality is reasonable and price is cheap.
