"Sit Around and Suffer"

Apart from a very few hardcore collectors like Scott, I wonder
how many fans have heard this unique song which appears on an
obscure British release (live concert) album from 2002 - the CD
is titled "Ramblin' Fever" on Delta (UK) CD6356, 14 tracks.
The show was recorded in Oklahoma City in 1986 and Merle sings
this song to the tune of "Kern River" and it's 3mins:13 seconds
long.
It appears on no other commercially issued album - maybe
somebody has heard it somewhere else ?
This CD is pretty near impossible to find - it was'nt even well
known when it was released.

Out of idle curiosity I've just Googled' the song title - lo and
behold, it came up with an album title that I'd never come
across before

"Live Country Masters : Big City" - which has most of the Delta
repertoire including "Sit Around and Suffer" on it.
Interesting.

Don't think that is a cd release, just mp-3 files with a cover
they put on for the website. To my knowledge the only version of
it available is the "Ramblin' Fever" live.

Yes Scott, that's what I've just discovered as well.
It can't be downloaded here in the UK - seems to be restricted
to the US residents only.
