Autumn Leaves: 29 Gems For The Indian Summer

Among them an early rock 'n' roll instrumental by the recently deceased Dr. John, here still under the name Mac Rebennack! Or Ferrante & Teicher, who are In The Rain! Famous hits such as Come September, The Wayward Wind and Stormy Weather are included, as well as songs about heavy fieldwork, such as Cotton Picker by Eddie Cochran and Shuckin' The Corn, Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs!
