“A Little Bit Of Rain” is a studio recording produced by Jim Dickinson and released in the spring of 2003 on Archer Records. Rolling Stone called it “...a precious treasure” and No Depression Magazine called it “...one of the most affecting, beautifully rendered and delivered, funky sweet bits of singing on record in the last couple of years.”

Released in 1982 and reissued on CD in 1991 on the Peabody label, Waiting for a Train showcases Selvidge’s eclectic taste in American music. “The first song I was conscious of as a Child was Tex Ritter’s version of Rye Whiskey,” says Selvidge. Trimmed and Burning is a bow to Bluesman Fred McDowell. Selvidge says, “Lee Baker played slide. I couldn’t figure out why he attacked the guitar with such intensity until, years later, he told me he had had major dental surgery right before the session and had refused any pain killers.”  Produced by James Luther Dickinson, cover photo by William Eggleston.

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.
