The story of this compilation begins with a decades old myth; the "mystery singer" on a 10" acetate demo played to Elvis by Sam Phillips in June of 1954. Phillips, who was unable t o ascertain the name of the singer, asked Elvis to sing the song as a debut record. The young, unknown Elvis was daunted by the performance. After attempting to record the song, Elvis felt he could not do it justice, and went on to record “That's All Right”. The demo's existence became an urban myth. The singer was finally identified as Jimmy Sweeney in early 2017 by writer Chris Kennedy, whose suspicions were confirmed by multiple sources, including Jimmy's daughter Eugenia. Sweeney’s masterpiece will finally be released under his own name on this compilation. In addition to that demo song, “Without You”, the album features some of Sweeney’s best recordings, many of which were never released to the public.SIDE A1. “Without You” - Jimmy Sweeney 2. “Deep Blues” - Jimmy Sweeney and the Varieteers 3. “I Pay With Every Breath” - Jimmy Sweeney and the Varieteers 4. “It Wouldn’t Be The Same (Without You) “- The Varieteers 5. “Desire” - Jimmy Sweeney 6. “Danny Boy” - Jimmy Destry 7. “Don’t Come In Here” – Varieteers 8. “Tobacco Road” - Jimmy SweeneySIDE B1. “Gonna Find My Sweetheart “- Jimmy Sweeney 2. “Flippity Flop”- Jimmy Sweeney 3. “Sick, Sick, Sick” - Jim Sweeney 4. “She Wears My Ring” - Jimmy Bell 5. “Where You Lead Me” - Jim Sweeney 6.”Lunch In A Bucket” - Jimmy Bell 7. “Afraid” - Jim Sweeney 8. “What’cha Gonna Do About Me” - Jimmy Bell 9. “Deacon Brown” - Jimmy Sweeney Tracklist: Without You - Jimmy Sweeney Deep Blues - Jimmy Sweeney and the Varieteers I Pay with Every Breath - Jimmy Sweeney and the Varieteers It Wouldn't Be the Same (Without You) - the Varieteers Desire - Jimmy Sweeney Danny Boy - Jimmy Destry Don't Come in Here - Varieteers Tobacco Road - Jimmy Sweeney Gonna Find My Sweetheart - Jimmy Sweeney Flippity Flop - Jimmy Sweeney Sick, Sick, Sick - Jim Sweeney She Wears My Ring - Jimmy Bell Where You Lead Me - Jim Sweeney Lunch in a Bucket - Jimmy Bell Afraid - Jim Sweeney What'cha Gonna Do About Me - Jimmy Bell Deacon Brown - Jimmy Sweeney UPC: 711574899210Label: Org MusicRelease Date: 9.26.20Format: Vinyl Show more
