This page is built from the track listings of the records reviewed here, so it lists only versions on those records, not every recording of the tune. The site does not record composers, so it gathers tracks by title and says nothing about who wrote the tune. Tracks printed as “The Work Song” are counted here too. The year is the first session of the whole record, which on an album cut over several dates may not be the date of this track. It updates automatically when a new review goes up.
