Bear Family Records Sales Sheet PRODUKTINFO (CD) 5. Februar 2021 Künstler Bobby Vee Titel The Drugstore’s Rockin’ – Suzie Baby Label Bear Family Productions Katalognr. BCD17573 EAN-Code 5397102175732 Preiscode: AH Format 1-CD (Digipak) mit 32-seitigem Booklet Musikgebiet Rock ‘n’ Roll, Pop Titelanzahl 35 ca. 79:00 Min. VÖ-Datum 5. Februar 2021 INFO: • Unsere Bobby-Vee-Retrospektive konzentriert sich auf die Rock ‘n‘ Roll-Jahre (1959 – 1962) des Teenidols – und Vee rockte, und wie! • Bobby Vees Karriere begann im Zuge der wohl größten Tragödie in der Geschichte des Rock ‘n‘ Roll: am 3.2.1959 verunglückten Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens und der Big Bopper – auf Tour als ‚Winter Dance Party‘ – tödlich und der erst 15-jährige Bobby Vee sprang bei der Show in Moorhead als Ersatz ein! • Der junge, erfolgreiche Produzent Snuff Garnett erkannte in Vees an Buddy Holly angelehnten Stil großes Potential und machte ihn mit dem von Holly favorisierten Streicher-Sound zu einem Teenager- Superstar auch im Popbereich. • Linernotes von Bill Dahl; viele wenig bekannte Fotos und Illustrationen im umfangreichen Booklet und sorgfältig gemasterte Aufnahmen. Bobby Vee wurde 1943 als Robert Thomas Velline in Fargo, North Dakota, geboren. Im krassen Gegensatz zum düsteren Filmdrama 'Fargo' der Coen-Brüder aus dem Jahr 1995 verströmt Bobby Vees Rock 'n' Roll das Gefühl der Teenager-Jugend von damals. Bobby Vee war in den frühen 1960er Jahren nicht nur ein echtes Teenie-Idol mit einer Reihe von unbeschwerten Hits; er wusste auch, wie man rockt, wobei sein starker Einfluss von Buddy Holly stets hörbar blieb. Vees Beitrag zu Bear Familys Serie 'The Drugstore's Rockin'', die von 1959 bis 1962 reicht, enthält seine Debütsingle Suzie Baby, seine ersten großen Hits für das in Los Angeles ansässige Label Liberty Records, Devil Or Angel und Rubber Ball, sowie die mit Geigen angereicherten Erfolgstitel Take Good Care Of My Baby und The Night Has A Thousand Eyes. Aber Bobby weigerte sich, seine Rock 'n' Roll-Wurzeln aus den 50er Jahren aufzugeben - wie die fünf Tracks aus seinem großartigen ‘Bobby Vee Meets The Crickets‘-Album mit Ex-Holly-Sideman Tommy Allsup an der Leadgitarre zeigen. Fast alles hier wurde von dem aus Texas stammenden Snuff Garrett produziert, vielleicht der jüngste A&R-Mann der damaligen Zeit, und einer der erfolgreichsten. Garrett war ein großer Fan von Hollys reifem, von Streichern durchtränktem Ansatz und führte ihn bei Liberty ein. Bobby Vee entwickelte sich mit diesem herrlich üppigen Sound zum absoluten Teenager-Superstar.

  • Folk Song in Cumbria: a Distinctive Regional
    FOLK SONG IN CUMBRIA: A DISTINCTIVE REGIONAL REPERTOIRE? A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Susan Margaret Allan, MA (Lancaster), BEd (London) University of Lancaster, November 2016 ABSTRACT One of the lacunae of traditional music scholarship in England has been the lack of systematic study of folk song and its performance in discrete geographical areas. This thesis endeavours to address this gap in knowledge for one region through a study of Cumbrian folk song and its performance over the past two hundred years. Although primarily a social history of popular culture, with some elements of ethnography and a little musicology, it is also a participant-observer study from the personal perspective of one who has performed and collected Cumbrian folk songs for some forty years. The principal task has been to research and present the folk songs known to have been published or performed in Cumbria since circa 1900, designated as the Cumbrian Folk Song Corpus: a body of 515 songs from 1010 different sources, including manuscripts, print, recordings and broadcasts. The thesis begins with the history of the best-known Cumbrian folk song, ‘D’Ye Ken John Peel’ from its date of composition around 1830 through to the late twentieth century. From this narrative the main themes of the thesis are drawn out: the problem of defining ‘folk song’, given its eclectic nature; the role of the various collectors, mediators and performers of folk songs over the years, including myself; the range of different contexts in which the songs have been performed, and by whom; the vexed questions of ‘authenticity’ and ‘invented tradition’, and the extent to which this repertoire is a distinctive regional one.

  • Bob Dylan Musician, Keith Negus. This File Contains the Pre-Proof
    Bob Dylan Musician, Keith Negus. This file contains the pre-proof versions of Chapter One and Chapter Five from Bob Dylan, presented here in this format with the permission of Equinox Publishing. I have called this text Bob Dylan Musician because this was the original agreed title of the book right up to the moment just before publication when pressure from the US publisher resulted in the term ‘musician’ being reluctantly (from my perspective) expunged from the title. That word – musician – was there to concisely signal how my approach differs from most other books on Bob Dylan. I am interested in his work and practice as a musician, rather than his lyrics as poetry or the relationship between his biography and musical art. The book contains five chapters, so these two chapters introduce and conclude the study. If anyone would like electronic copies of additional chapters I am happy to provide these, as long as they are used only for research and teaching. Keith Negus June 2013 CHAPTER ONE Surroundings On 31 October 1964 Bob Dylan performed at the Philharmonic Hall in New York City, just two years after signing a recording contract and with four albums already released. Having quickly gained recognition as a folk ‘protest singer’ he was rapidly moving away from songs of social commentary and ‘finger pointing’. Dylan was beginning to use the popular song in a new and radical manner to explore more internal or subjective experiences, whilst experimenting with the sound, meaning and rhythm of words. Within three months, when recording his fifth album, no longer performing alone with acoustic guitar and harmonica, he was beginning to create an abrasive yet ethereal sonority, mixing the acoustic and electric textures of folk, electric blues, rock’n’roll, gospel, country and pop.

    Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966 September 29, 2006, through January 6, 2007 Exhibition Labels Exhibit Introductory Panel I Think I’ll Call It America Born into changing times, Bob Dylan shaped history in song. “Life’s a voyage that’s homeward bound.” So wrote Herman Melville, author of the great tall tale Moby Dick and one of the American mythmakers whose legacy Bob Dylan furthers. Like other great artists this democracy has produced, Dylan has come to represent the very historical moment that formed him. Though he calls himself a humble song and dance man, Dylan has done more to define American creative expression than anyone else in the past half-century, forming a new poetics from his emblematic journey. A small town boy with a wandering soul, Dylan was born into a post-war landscape of possibility and dread, a culture ripe for a new mythology. Learning his craft, he traveled a road that connected the civil rights movement to the 1960s counterculture and the revival of American folk music to the creation of the iconic rock star. His songs reflected these developments and, resonating, also affected change. Bob Dylan, 1962 Photo courtesy of John Cohen Section 1: Hibbing Red Iron Town Bobby Zimmerman was a typical 1950’s kid, growing up on Elvis and television. Northern Minnesota seems an unlikely place to produce an icon of popular music—it’s leagues away from music birthplaces like Memphis and New Orleans, and seems as cold and characterless as the South seems mysterious. Yet growing up in the small town of Hibbing, Bob Dylan discovered his musical heritage through radio stations transmitting blues and country from all over, and formed his own bands to practice the newfound religion of rock ‘n’ roll.

    Rock the Halls with Bows of Holly 1 Part One: Stairway to Whatever 1. Rock the Halls with Bows of Holly “The levee ain’t dry, And the music didn’t die, ‘Cause Buddy Holly lives Every time we play rock and roll.” —Cricket bandmate Sonny Curtis, 1980 This is a book mostly about Buddy Holly. And his Crickets. The world knows Buddy as the martyred hero of “American Pie,” Don McLean’s #1 rockin’ 1971 saga of dry levees, roaring Chevys, and a golden-age America when rock was young. Long before leaded Zeppelin dreams soared aloft to the stars on ‘Stairways to Heaven,’ rock and roll first honored lean Texan Buddy Holly with his fiery Fender Stratocaster and magic voice. Holly and his rockin’ Crickets brought 1957-59 America and the English-speaking world its first torrid affair with a genuine rock and roll band. After Elvis This’ll Be The Day 2 Presley’s vocals, Chuck Berry’s lead guitar and teen lyrics, and dozens of dynamic drummers perfo- rated 50s quietude with new molten music, Buddy’s electric guitar and bass-powered rock band the Crickets gave us our first taste of rock band glory. Buddy also jump-started the Beatles and Bob Dylan. And yes, of course, the Fab Four owe the Crickets for their style, their gung-ho gusto, and their name. By now, the Beatles’ reputation as premier rock band has never been higher. This’ll Be the Day is about the world’s first and the world’s greatest rock and roll band.
