Anyone have a favorite "Big Sandy" album that they'd recommend?

It depends on what you really like to hear. I like "Jumpin' From 6 to 6" and "Swingin' West." With each successive recording they get jazzier and more complex, the first two are pretty rockabilly flavored but Swinin' West has a good bit of swing too.

I second the recommendation for "Swingin' West" and especially, "Big Sandy Presents the Fly-Rite Boys". Here's their whole catalog ... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/002-4272756-5061604
