This 34:29 minute CD is a compilation featuring fourteen tracks drawn from the three albums Ralph recorded for King between 1967 - 1969.
Three tracks are taken from each of the Brand New Country Songs and Over The Sunset Hill albums, and the remaining eight make up the bulk of the Hills Of Home LP.
The CD has a foldout booklet, with a well-written three-page introduction to Ralph's solo material by Colin Escott, and a nice photo from (I think) the photo shoot for Brand New Country Songs.
It's probably only going to be of interest to anyone looking for a sampler of Ralph's music, but in that case, the more recent My Life & Legacy might be a better choice.
The Poor Rambler set is still the definitive round-up of Ralph's King era.
The photo's of Ralph on the front and back of the CD look like they're from the Hills Of Home cover shoot.
