New Val Rosing Collection - Try A Little Tenderness

Great news. I've just had an email informing me of the release of a new CD to honour the centenary of the British crooner Val Rosing, aka Gilbert Russell*.

It's called Try A Little Tenderness (and yes, he was the first to sing that song made famous by Bing Crosby a year later and Otis Redding much, much later) and you can get it here.
