I recorded that song, "Melancholy Blues" on my Great Pacific JB recording.  I only have cassettes and LPs left but am in the process of reissueing it on CD again.  Should be out in a couple months.  You can see it at and hear a couple songs from it at:

I also recorded this one.  It is titled "Old Bones."  

It is on my Fulton Street JB CD and can also be seen at www.ringwald.com/recordings.htm

It is also available at World's Records and on CD Baby.
