Uh, other people on that label, or who released albums on that label, were, uh, Tom Waits, Solomon Burke, Mavis Staples, Bettye Lavette, Marianne Faithfull, and the one and only Merle Haggard, Bare Back.

Before that, we heard the majestic Bettye LaVette with Your Turn To Cry from her unreleased 1972 Muscle Shoals LP, Child of the '70s, recorded with The Swampers, but then shelved by Atlantic Records.

But previous releases were on CD as Souvenirs in 2000, and later as Child of the '70s on the Rhino Handmade label, and we owe a lot to them for resurrecting these tracks.
