Moon Mullican
I'll Sail My Ship Alone
Release Date: 1958
Label: Proper Pairs

One of the first issues in Proper's "Pairs" series, this budget two-disc set is the most comprehensive overview of Moon Mullican's music available, spanning his career from his days with the Blueridge Playboys in the mid-'30s to his solo recordings of the early '50s. Its 50 tracks don't contain all of his best recordings (no Mullican collection does), but his most important songs -- "I'll Sail My Ship Alone," "New Jole Blon," and "Cherokee Boogie" -- are here, along with many other greats. The booklet contains one of the better essays on Mullican's life and career, as well as detailed session notes. Jim Smith, All Music Guide
