Dream You is the fourth studio album by the American country music band Pirates of the Mississippi. Released in 1993 as their final studio album for Liberty Records, it features the single "Dream You", which peaked at number 68 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. Basically a party album, it contains songs like "Save the Wild Life," "Pop from the Top," "The Night They Rocked the Grand Ole Opry," and a full-tilt cover of Hank Thompson's "The Wild Side of Life."
10 CD box set of 200 original recordings from the golden age of rock 'n' roll. Featuring Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Bo Dilley, Cliff Richard, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Cochran, Conway Twitty and many others. his CD Set is very much a Rock 'N' Roll Set. Ten Discs of fantastic music, mostly from the late 1950's. This Set doesn't have the usual mix of "Bluer Suede Shoes", "Jailhouse Rock" or "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", but has a good mix of classic hits and unusual stuff. If you, like me, like the old music of the 50's and 60's, this is the CD Set for you. Have fun, and keep on Rockin'.

The first few months of 1970 were tumultuous for the Grateful Dead. They had been all over the country, from the Fillmore East to Hawaii and back, by way of New Orleans and St. Louis. They had fired their organ player, fired their manager, hired a new road manager and recorded an album. By 8th March, they had already played 34 shows. As near as anyone can tell, the sessions for Workingman's Dead were 16 - 19th February and then 9 - 16th March, when the basic tracks were completed. What has come to be known as the project tour - an east coast jaunt running 17th March through 29th March - was undertaken with the aim of composing a road song while on the aforementioned surface. Lyricist Robert Hunter had joined the tour for this express purpose and Truckin was written while the group allegedly hung around the pool in Dania, FL, just North of Miami, where they would also perform two gigs at the unlikely venue, Pirates World, an amusement park in the city which hosted rock gigs on weekends.
Johnny Kidd had no album release during during his band's existence (but almost did), and then one solitary UK compilation in the dozen years following his death. Yet he and his groups were not entirely forgotten. In fact after the 1976 tribute events, and after re-formed Pirates blew away most of the live competition that same year, interest in their late leader continued to gain pace. Johnny Kidd is now rightly recognised as a pioneer of British Rock, a true original. His standing seems reflected in the increase of rate of LP, then CD releases. The peak was the "Complete" collection in 1992 which rounded up all known recordings that were available, many mastered for the first time plus a few new stereo remixes into the bargain.
After the critical (and commercial) success of her debut two years earlier, Rickie Lee Jones had a lot riding on her sophomore album, Pirates. From the opening track, "We Belong Together," Jones served notice that she was willing to challenge herself and experiment with more unusual, complex song structures…
