Take This Job & Shove It / Armed & Crazy

Take This Job & Shove It / Armed & Crazy

For the first time ever on CD, Raven presents two era-defining albums by the legendary JOHNNY PAYCHECK - Take This Job and Shove It (1977) and the follow-up Armed And Crazy (1978). Born Donald Eugene Lytle, Paycheck was dubbed "one of the greatest honky tonkers of his time", going on to prove the point by sending the flipping-the-finger 'Take This Job And Shove It' to #1 on the US Country singles chart. The album of the same name was Paycheck's commercial high water mark reaching #2 on the LP chart. It seems incredible that this is its first ever release on compact disc! Paycheck consolidated his fully fledged star status when 'Georgia in a Jug' made the Top 20 (#17) and 'Friend, Lover, Wife' went Top 10 (#7). All these hits, and more, are contained on this top value 2-for-1 CD. Take This Job and Shove It and Armed And Crazy defined a new era in country music that reverberates with contemporary artists to this day. With five bonus tracks from Paycheck's stunning tribute to Merle Haggard Mr. Hag Told My Story this release captures the distinctive voice of a rebellious and influential country artist at the peak of his craft. With superb quality audio, 25 tracks, over 75 minutes of music and detailed liner notes. 2 -for-1.
