Country & Western Hit Parade 1961-1965

G After the volumes covering 1945-1955 were released, the word was out. This series is definitive, fabulously

packaged, and faultlessly remastered! Everything you'd expect from BEAR FAMILY… and more! G Jack Clement, who produced Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Waylon Jennings, Don Williams, and many others, said, "This is the best country series of all time. No doubt. No question." Robert Hilburn in the 'Los Angeles Times' said, "An invaluable album project… enables fans to step back in time and listen to the radio just like Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, and Bob Dylan did." Producer Allen Reynolds (Garth Brooks, Emmylou Harris, and

many others) stopped BEAR FAMILY’s Richard Weize at the Country Music Hall of Fame to congratulate him on the series. G Now the story continues from 1961 until 1965. Every CD is generously full. Every booklet is extensive and chocked full of rare photos and illustrations, as well as complete stories behind the songs! G In addition to the hits, the series contains rarities that went on to influence country music… and all music… in the years ahead. G This series is designed to introduce new listeners to the very best that country music has to offer… while keeping longtime fans entertained. Every volume is a fabulous time capsule.

"Collecting an anarchic mix of sex and sentimentality, earnest paeans to family and fanciful tales of drinking and cheating, DIM LIGHTS… affords a fascinating glimpse into black-and-white '50s polemics… Established stars, inspired wannabes proffer an intoxicating brew of dancefloor honky tonk, hillbilly boogie, bluegrass, western swing, incipient rockabilly, goofball novelty, and sentimental country-pop." ('Uncut' magazine)

INFORMATION

The reviews are in and everyone from Australia to Los Angeles to London is raving about BEAR FAMILY’s definitive year-by-year country series. Starting in 1945, DIM LIGHTS, THICK SMOKE, AND HILLBILLY MUSIC (COUNTRY & WESTERN HIT PARADE) tells the real story of country music record-by-record. The hits are here, but they’re only half the story. The set goes beyond chart books to include groundbreaking records that went nowhere at the time, but influenced generations yet to come. This is the music that influenced the White Stripes, Gillian Welch, Gram Parsons, Nick Cave, and many, many others. This is the music that gave birth to California country rock. This is the music that influenced the Beatles and many other seminal bands. In other words, this is the true and uncensored history of country music. Everything you need to hear, year-by-year, as it happened!

Picking up the story in 1961 and continuing until 1965, this new batch includes original versions of classic hits like Walk On By, Sea Of Heartbreak, Louisiana Man, Crazy, Big Bad John and IFall To Pieces (1961), She Thinks I Still Care, I’ve Been Everywhere, From AJack To A King, Don’t Let Me Cross Over, and The Ballad Of Jed Clampett (1962), Detroit City, Busted, Act Naturally, Six Days On the Road, Abilene, and The End Of The World (1963), Dang Me, The Race Is On, Welcome To My World, Together Again, and Close All The Honky Tonks (1964), and King Of The Road, Girl On The Billboard, Green Green Grass Of Home, I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water, Flowers On The Wall, and ATombstone Every Mile (1965). But the series also includes neglected classics and shoulda been hits like Claude Gray’s I’ll Just Have A Cup Of Coffee (covered by Bob Marley in 1962!), Wynn Stewart’s Big Big Love (now a TV commercial song), Anita Carter’s original version of Ring Of Fire,the original Australian version of I’ve Been Everywhere, Loretta Lynn’s Success (covered by Sinead O’Connor), Billy Walker’s original ver- sion of Funny (How Time Slips Away), Ray Price’s classic full-length version of Willie Nelson’s Nite Life, Billy Grammer’s original ver- sion of Detroit City (titled IWanna Go Home), Johnny Cash’s controversial native American song Ballad Of Ira Hayes PLUS Peter LaFarge’s original version. There’s even more! Incredibly detailed 72-page books go with every CD featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes stories, rare photos, record label shots, and complete discographical information.

BEAR FAMILY began its journey into year-by-year anthologies with the groundbreaking and award-winning BLOWIN’ THE FUSE and SWEET SOUL MUSIC series that tells the story of R&B from 1945-1970. Look for the series to continue into the Funk era. And look for a year-by-year Rock 'n' Roll anthology coming soon.
