By the time CMH Records issued this compilation of performances spanning the years from 1959 to 1992, a lot of folks thought Jimmy Martin was washed up. The performances on “Songs Of a Freeborn Man” prove he was anything but.

CMH has uploaded several tracks from this CD to YouTube, so you can judge for yourself. This is one of my favorites, a duet with Jett Williams on a song written by her father, Hank Williams – “Mansion On the Hill”.
