21. AUGUST 2006 KÜNSTLER Bob Luman LIEFERBAR: AB 21. AUGUST 2006 VERÖFFENTLICHUNG: 21. AUGUST 2006 KÜNSTLER Bob Luman TITEL Let's think About Living His Recordings 1955 - 1967 LABEL Bear Family Records KATALOG # BCD 16259 PREIS-CODE DL EAN-CODE 4000127 162595 ISBN-CODE 3-89916-216-1 FORMAT 4-CD-Box (LP-Format) mit 104-seitigem gebundenem Buch GENRE Rock 'n' Roll ANZAHL TITEL 117 SPIELDAUER 261:27 • Seine kompletten Aufnahmen von 1955 bis 1967, mit Rockabilly-Klassikern wie Red Cadillac And A Black Mustache, Red Hot, Svengali und viele andere, dazu der Top-10-Pop-Hit Let's Think About Living . • 8 unveröffentlichte Songs und viele andere erstmals in Stereo. • Ein 104-seitiges gebundenes Buch mit vielen seltenen und bislang unveröffentlichten Fotos. • Damit sind – zusammen mit 'Bob Luman 1968 – 1977' – seine sämtlichen Aufnahmen erhältlich. • Außerdem gibt es unsere DVD 'At Town Hall Party'. INFORMATIONEN Im selben Augenblick, als er im August 1955 Elvis für sich entdeckt hatte und dem King quer durch Texas gefolgt war, stand auch für Bob Luman fest, daß er ein Rocker werden würde. Wann er in Presleys Fußstapfen treten würde, war nur noch eine Frage der Zeit. Obwohl Bob Luman heute als Ikone bei Rockabilly-Sammlern gilt, blieben seine frühen Aufnahmen lange Zeit über Dutzende von obskuren oder nicht mehr lieferbaren LPs und CDs verstreut – obendrein in einer Klangqualität, die mehr als zu wünschen übrig ließ. Jetzt endlich hat Bear Family genau die Box veröffentlicht, auf die Luman-Fans schon so lange gewartet haben. Hier sind sämtliche frühe Einspielungen versammelt, darunter seine Aufnahmen aus Texas von 1955 und diejenigen für den Film 'Carnival Rock'. Ebenso gibt es Lumans Songs für Imperial und Capitol (Texas und Los Angeles, 1957/58) sowie seine kompletten Stücke für Warner Bros. und Hickory Records (1959-1967); viele davon erscheinen jetzt erstmalig in Stereo. Obwohl Lumans Songs für Hickory starke Country-Einflüsse aufweisen, kehrte er stets schnell zu seinen rockigen Ursprüngen zurück. Dies bestätigt auch die texanische Legende Mac Curtis: "Bob Luman war ein Rocker durch und durch." Zu diesen vier CDs gibt es ein reichhaltig illustriertes Buch mit Texten des Musikhistorikers Hank Davis. Enthalten sind ferner bislang unveröffentlichte Interviews mit Luman-Gitarrist James Burton, dem Liedermacher John D. Loudermilk und seinen Wegbegleitern Bobby Bare und Mac Curtis. Zusammen mit Bear Familys 5-CD-Box mit späteren Aufnahmen für Epic und Polydor (BCD 15898) sind nunmehr Bob Lumans Leben und Werk umfassend dokumentiert. Als Ergänzung zu diesen Box-Sets eignet sich eine DVD mit Luman-Auftritten von 1958/59 (Town Hall Party; BVD 20004), bei denen James Burton, Joe Maphis und Merle Travis dabei sind. Fazit: Das Warten hat ein Ende. Dies ist die ultimative musikalische Begegnung mit Bob Luman – für seine unzähligen Fans und alle Sammler des Rockabilly der 50er Jahre.

Sie kam jeden Samstag aus einem Theater in Compton, einem Vorort von Los Angeles. Die Bühne war hergerichtet wie eine alte Scheune – dies sollte dieselbe Stimmung vermitteln, die schon drei Jahr- zehnte zuvor bei den Live-Shows vorherrschte, die über den Hörfunk gesendet worden waren. Obwohl sich Nashville sehr schnell als das kommerzielle Zentrum der Country Music etabliert hatte, gab es auch an der ameri- kanischen Westküste ein gewaltiges Fan-Potential für eine Show wie diese. In dieser Region lebten seit den 30er Jahren viele Men- schen, die es aus der Dust Bowl dorthin verschlagen hatte – während des Zweiten Weltkriegs kamen zusätzlich viele Arbeiter hinzu, die Jobs in den Munitions- und Waffenfabriken suchten. Sie alle liebten Country Music, und folglich entwickelte sich eine völlig neue Szene mit einem eigenen Sound, neuen Künstlern, Clubs, Plattenlabels, Radio-Shows und natürlich auch passenden Fernsehprogrammen. Die 'Town Hall Party' wurde rund um einen hauseigenen Interpretenstamm entwickelt, der einem 'Who's Who' der Westküsten- Szene glich – mit Künstlern wie Joe Maphis, Merle Travis, Skeets McDonald, Johnny Bond und Tommy Duncan. Gastgeber waren Jay Stewart (er präsentierte später auch die TV-Quiz-Show 'Let's Make A Deal') und Tex Ritter. In die wöchentlich ausgestrahlte Show wurden stets auch hochkarätige Gäste eingeladen – und die kamen gern, denn die Show war ungemein populär und das permanent wichtiger werdende Fernsehen erwies sich als perfektes Medium, um sich als Künstler völlig neuen Zuschauerschichten vorstellen zu können.

  • Discography of the Camay Label [1963] the Camay Label Was Started by Don Ames and Hal Weiss in 1961
    Discography of the Camay Label [1963] The Camay label was started by Don Ames and Hal Weiss in 1961. The label was based in New York City in the Brill Building at 1721 Broadway. Camay issued singles in 1961, 1962 and 1963 and seemed to disappear prior to 1964. In 1963, the label focused on issuing budget albums. I believe the entire LP output was issued that year, most if not all of the material was leased from other labels and not recorded directly by Camay. In spite of being a budget label, they did produce a few good albums. The first release was a compilation of country music that included two rare sides by Bill Haley. Perhaps the best album on the label was “12 Collectors Goodies” CA 3012, with great pictures of vintage sports cars on the cover. This record contains some of the finest doo-wop put to vinyl and some very rare songs, Lynn McCutcheon in his book “Collecting Doo-Wop Compilations” calls this one of the 25 best doo-wop compilations ever produced. “12 Million Record Sellers” CA 3010 is also an excellent compilation, although it contains more commonly available material. The first Camay label was red with black printing. “CAMAY” above the center hole. The second Camay label was silver with black printing. “camay” on a record overlapping a globe above the center hole. C 3001 - Country Western Bonanza - Various Artists [1963] Run, Boy - Don Gibson/Were You There - Roy Acuff/Let’s Think About Livin’ - Bob Luman/Candy Kisses - Bill Haley/Your Cheatin’ Heart - Billy Byrd/I Miss You Already - Jimmy Newman //Take My Hand - Roy Acuff/Sweet

Staged every Saturday in a theatre in Compton, a suburb of Los Angeles, the stage was made up to look like an old barn, thus continuing the traditions of the various live shows that were first heard on the radio airwaves three decades earlier. Although Nashville was fast establishing itself as the commercial home of country music, the West Coast had a vast, ready audi- ence for such a show. The area had first become the new home for the Dust Bowl migrants of the 1930s and, a few years later during the war years, a further influx was made up of workers seeking jobs in the munitions and defence plants. These were all people who loved country music and, consequently, a brand new country scene was born with its own sound, artists, clubs, re- cord labels, radio shows and, in due course, television programmes. 'Town Hall Party' was created with its own cast of regular performers and musicians, boasting a house that was virtually a 'who's who' of the West Coast scene comprising such as Joe Maphis, Merle Travis, Skeets McDonald, Johnny Bond and Tommy Duncan. Jay Stewart (who later hosted the TV quiz show 'Let's Make A Deal'), and Tex Ritter were the MCs.

SALES NOTES From the moment he discovered Elvis in August 1955 and followed the King across the Texas Plains, Bob Luman's career as a rocker was set in stone. It was just a matter of time before he would follow in Presley's footsteps. Although Bob Luman has become an icon to rockabilly collectors today, his earliest recordings are scattered across dozens of obscure or out-of-print LPs and CDs, with sound quality often leaving much to be desired. Finally, Bear Family has released the box set that Bob Luman's fans have eagerly awaited. This box gathers together all of Luman's earliest records, including his 1955 Texas recordings and his contribution to that cinematic classic, 'Carnival Rock.' Also included are Luman's Abbott, Imperial and Capitol recordings (1957/58) from Texas and Los Angeles and his entire output for Warner Bros.
