It is on the album of the same name. Jimmy Rodgers “The Singing Brakeman, The Yodeling Cowboy, The Father of Country Music”-Daddy at Home this song appears on "The Essential Jimmie Rodgers" for a single disc solution. There are also complete editions of Rodgers' output on JSP and Bear Family. Shep and the Limeliters-Daddy's Home this track appears on numerous doo wop collections, including Rhino's "Doo Wop Box". There is also a CD (called "Daddy's Home") which collects together the output of Shep & The Limelites together with leader James "Shep" Shepperd's previous group, The Heartbeats. That group had a hit with the song "A Thousand Miles Away" to which reference is made at the close of Daddys Home. * note: this track also features on "Golden Age Of American Rock 'N' Roll Vol. 9" Everly Bros. (Don and Phil)-That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine is on their album "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us", re-issued on Ace. Bobby Blue Bland-Dust Got into Daddy's Eyes this is a fabulous song, and it breaks my heart that it isn't presently available. Last outing was on a 2-CD set called "Turn On Your Love Light" The Duke Years Vol. 2" released by MCA (which I just got a copy of...yay!!). From the evidence seen on Amazon UK marketplace, this can now sell for truly silly money, let's hope that this material will return soon at a decent price. Julie London “Smokey and sultry”-Daddy I have this sassy performance on "The Best Of Julie London: The Liberty Years". This is the version played by Bob, but there is a different version on a CD combining two of her albums, "Julie/Love On The Rocks". . John Hiatt-Your Dad Did is on the album "Bring The Family". The Sons of the Pioneers-My Daddy this was a transcription disc recorded for radio broadcast rather than a regular release, and so far as I know is only on Bear Family's box set "Songs Of The Prairie". A shame, as the high cost will deter some, and it deserves a wider audience in my opinion . The Winstons-Color Him Father I'm not sure of the availability of this now, but it was on "Soul Hits Of The 70s: Didn't It Blow Your Mind Vol. 1" (which incidentally also contains another TTRH feature). The song has been recorded by this group more than once I believe Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell-Papa's on the Housetop this features on "The Best Of Leroy Carr" on Columbia/Legacy, and on volume 3 of Document's complete Carr edition (currently only available as a download, or so it would seem). Other places too no doubt. Jack Rhodes “The Rabid Vampire” -Mama loves Papa, Papa Loves the Women I stumbled upon this by accident after coming up empty while searching in a record shop. It is on a 2-CD set "Hillbilly Bop, Boogie And The Honky Tonk Blues Vol. 2 1951-1953" on the Jasmine label out of the Czech Republic. Volume 1 is great too! The Temptations “Lighter than air”-Papa was a Rolling Stone like the Stevie Wonder song in Programme #1, this is on a vast host of Temptations and general Motown compilations. Lowell Folsom-Father Time this track was recorded for Chess, but not released at the time. It appeared on the now deleted two disc set "The Complete Chess Masters". The Swan Silvertones-Father Alone featuring Rev. Claude Jeter wonderful stuff; one of the final things they did for the King label before moving on to Specialty. This is on a two disc set called "1946-1951" on the Acrobat label. Ross McManus-Patsy's Girl a slight deviation from the programme's theme, its inclusion was justified by a chat Bob had with Elvis Costello, who is of course the son of Ross McManus. To date I haven't been able to locate a source for this Hank Williams(Luke the Drifter)-My Son Calls Another Man Daddy “The Battle of the Bulge of all songs” a great song to end the programme with, this is on several editions of the complete Hank Williams currently floating about from different labels.
