• Track Listing

This founding member of Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen was there at the big bang of Americana. A true titan of the Telecaster, Bill recorded for Proper for a decade starting in 2006; here are his three excellent Proper albums ("Hammer of the Honky Tonk Gods," "Word to the Wise" and "Seeds and Stems") plus bonus cuts: "Get a Little Goner," "Rocks into Sand" (last two with Nick Lowe), "Word to the Wise" (with Dan Hicks), "Man in the Bottom of the Well" (with Elvis Costello), "Bump Wood," "Womb to the Tomb," "Ain’t Got Time for the Blues" (with Maria Muldaur) and more. That 2-CD set (38 tracks) includes a 12-page booklet; also here: a limited-edition vinyl "best-of" featuring all of the above tracks and more! Last.
