I was burned this compilation and have been listening to it a lot lately. Anyone else heard it? I assume most of the songs are known individually. I had never heard Bloody Mary Morning before - watch this space for me eventually gushing about Willie Nelson 30 years too late. I'll kick it off by voting for it.

Wex on Wax: Twenty Essential Jerry Wexler Productions
A few years back, Jerry Wexler burned a CD for friends of the songs he was the most proud of from his half-century career in music.

Still listen to this compilation 3-5 times a week, I adore it. Anyone suggest any further Wexler productions?
