SALES NOTES
Who was Bud Isaacs, and why should you care? Steel guitar players need no introduction to him because he brought the pedal steel guitar to country music when he played on Webb Pierce's Slowly. Country music fans only need to know that he played some of the most famous and loveliest solos in the history of country music, and created one of the all- time greatest country instrumentals.
This set comprises his 25 solo recordings for RCA Victor, and those include the original version of Bud's Bounce, one of the two or three most recognisable instrumentals in country music history. Steel guitar fans (and there are more than you think!) have been begging, borrowing, and stealing his RCA Victor records for decades, and now they're available for the first time since the 1950s! So steel guitar players should get down on their knees and bow towards Bear Family's HQ in Vollersode and fans of truly exceptional vintage country music should prepare for a rare and unusual treat. The set includes boogies, waltzes, indescribably lovely slow tunes, and above all Bud's Bounce...plus the complete story of Bud's life and times told in the sort of detail you find nowhere else but on a Bear Family record.
