A goodly portion of Robert Gordon's book, It Came from Memphis, talks about The Bitter Lemon Coffee House as a crucible for young Memphis artists in the late '60's. Sid Selvidge was one of those artists and The Cold of the Morning is about as close as you'll get to his coffee house set from those days. Recoded with producer, colleague and pal, Jim Dickinson in 1976 and reissued on CD in 1991 the selections run the gamut from field hollers such as Boll Weevil to the Memphis Blues of Furry Lewis (Judge Boushe) to the George M. Cohan penned, tin pan alley song, Then I'll be Satisfied with Life that Selvidge discovered on a Tiny Tim album.
