White Light's got some good songs, but it's a little too much of a straight-ahead Dylan homage for me, and Roadmaster is a bit of a hodge-podge from what I can remember, though not a bad one so far as they go.
As Jasonaparkes details above, Sid Griffin of the Long Ryders compiled a superb anthology called "Flying High" that cherry-picks nearly all the highlights of his other albums all the different projects he was involved in throughout his life. I have it, but sadly it's long out of print now.
