SALES NOTES

GONNA SHAKE THIS SHACK TONIGHT!

Following the overwhelming success of our THAT’LL FLAT GIT IT series and our ROCKS! series, we’re turning our attention to the overlooked, unloved, and generally neglected country boogie. It’s a myth that country boys didn’t get hip to the jive until Elvis came along. From the mid-1940s onward, country musicians were really shaking the shack, and that’s where we’ll be taking you: Tennessee Saturday Nights! If you’ve ever wondered where JERRY LEE LEWIS, ELVIS, CARL PERKINS, , and other first generation rockabilly stars got half their style and half their cool, look no further than THE CARLISLES, , and others who’ll be coming very soon to Bear Family’s exciting new series! As always with Bear Family, the music is just the beginning. There’s the story of the musicians, the story of the music, and incredible never-before-seen photographs.

Visitors to Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry can still hear Little Jimmy Dickens most Saturday nights…like most Saturday nights since 1949! These days, Little Jimmy doesn’t record and doesn’t tour…he only plays the Opry and makes a few local appearances, but when we catch up with him in the he was on top of his game, and one of the hottest performers in the business. He also had one of the very best bands in the history of country music, and gave an early break to stars like Buddy Emmons, Grady Martin, and Spider Wilson. Jimmy’s Country Boys could play jazz, boogie, and country. This set includes all of Little Jimmy’s fabulous uptempo recordings from the 1950s, including his cover version of Piano Red’s Rockin’ With Red, and classics like Hillbilly Fever, I Got A Hole In My Pocket, Hey Worm (You Wanna Wiggle) and Salty Boogie. You’ll also hear Little Jimmy’s hot band on numbers like Buddy’s Boogie, Country Boy Bounce, and Raisin’ The Dickens.
