L.A. To Miami / St. Louis To Charlotte

I recently picked up L.A. To Miami, a somewhat hard to find early Keith Whitley album I'd had on cassette way back when. I quickly expanded it to include four Whitley tracks from A Tribute Album which featured various artists doing well known tunes made popular by Whitley. It always seemed a little odd to have Whitley doing songs on a tribute album to himself (he drank himself to death in 1989). Since those Whitley tunes were early ones (not previously released to the best of my knowledge) produced by Blake Mevis who also produced L.A. To Miami I figured they belong together.

One of the Whitley songs from the tribute album is "Charlotte's In North Carolina," which includes the line "Charlotte's in North Carolina and I'm in St. Louis misery." So I thought I'd be "clever" and title this new custom concoction L.A. To Miami / St. Louis To Charlotte.
