INFORMATION With his 4-octave range, Charlie Phillips is one of the most soulful and accomplished singers to emerge from West Texas. His first professional session (with Buddy Holly on ) generated Sugartime... one of the most covered songs of the century. The fol- low-up, Be My Bride,made its CD debut on 'That'll Flat Git It,' Volume 9 (BEAR FAMILY, BCD 15971) and is the only track in this pak- kage to have had prior European release. That’s how rare this stuff is! Bonus tracks? We have them. There’s the original previously unissued demos of Sugartime (1956) and the rockabilly classic Faker (1958). A studio master of You're My LSD which needs to be heard to be believed. Plus a concert medley of Whole Lotta Shakin' /Johnny Be Goode / The Twist / Rock Around The Clock / Sugartime backed by several members of the Texas Playboys shows a side of Charlie not heard in any of his other recordings. Charlie collaborated with John Ingman on a comprehensive biography for this set. It fits alongside those of fellow West Texans in the BEAR FAMILY catalogue: The Crickets (BCD 15599), Buddy Knox & (BCD 16872), Terry Noland (BCD 15428) and (BCD 15407, 15461, 15916 & 16423).
