    He has a late 60's LP on Capitol, If I Had a Hammer.

    Tried to find you a pic of it, but no dice.

    I think the above comp is mostly material from If I Had a Hammer--it's an excellent album and I think is usually available for around $40.

    In the eighties, Collectables put out a Willie Hightower compilation that probably has a lot of the same material on the newer anthology pictured above. Going by the graphic design, I think the Collectables album was a straight reissue of a 1960's LP on Fury, but I'm not totally sure...

    Okay, so it turns out that that comp is the entirety of If I Had a Hammer, plus the following seven cuts:

    Walk a Mile in My Shoes
    Back Road into Town
    You Used Me Baby
    Time Has Brought About a Change
    Poor Man
    I Can't Love Without You
    Because I Love You
