Count_Your_Blessings

“Count Your Blessings”   Willie Sutherland w Frank Coutts   Grampian Records, Scotland.  (1972)  From LP cover lover Dave Bruce:  By way of a little “thank you” for your super site, here’s a scan of my best candidate for a “wake up sweating” record. I rescued it from a charity shop.  If you weren’t scared of Scotchmen before this, you should have been.
