April 2013 Newsletter ------Yesterday & Today Records P O Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Ph: (02) 95311710 Email: [email protected] Web: www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------Postage 1cds $2/ 2 cds $3/ 3/4/5 cds $8 ------Welcome to the first newsletter of the year. This is a slash and burn newsletter with some bargains you won’t believe possible. As hard as it may seem to believe major label country just keeps getting worse. There are still some vestiges of quality on the major labels but they are ignored by the radio programmers. Dwight’s latest was a return to Reprise but sold only 75,000 copies as radio programmers deemed it too country to play. Ditto Jamey Johnson’s wonderful Hank Cochran tribute. Sold poorly. It seems that there are so many guided by what the mainstream radio plays that they are too dim to vary their buying habits and embrace the true stuff. Again I like to think of Yesterday & Today Records as some kind of alternate universe where the true fans are rewarded. Early in the year, releases tend to be of fairly low volume but there have been some absolute stunners, including favourite Amber Digby.

2012 of the Year 1) Tim Culpepper “Pourin’ Whiskey on Pain” $28 we had such a thing as a People’s Choice award this would also be the winner...so maybe can be a dual winner. The owes more than a nod to Mark Chesnutt’s classic “Too Cold at Home” and that is not a bad thing. Better even is that they are all original , mainly written by Elbert West, who wasn’t bad in his own right but Tim is a vastly superior singer. Not one bad track. Personal favourite is “One More for the Road”. Some may say a steal of the “Too Cold at Home”...but even if it is, I don’t care!! Even with all the plaudits it was hard to favour it over any other album in the top 10. 2) James Hand “Mighty Lonesome Man” $28 The classic traditional vocalist lives. Very much in the same school as Norman Wade & Vernon Oxford, and hard to

1

believe this is his best album yet. The song, “Old man Henry’ is my song of the year. A very Jone-ish delivery on this but honeslty George at his prime could not have bettered this original version. Wonderful. 3) Eric Strickland & The B Sides “Honky Tonk Till I Die’ $25 There is nothing like an album of honky tonk songs performed superbly with a couple of modern day truckin’ classics thrown in for good measure. There is a hidden track, assumably called “Drinkin’ Whiskey”...why they do this is beyond me but no mark down as it is great. “Haggard & Hell’ is a gem!! 4) Blake & Kendall Barnes “Welcome to Barnes Country” $20 Such exuberance. He is the wonderful honky tonk singer and she shows all the enthusiasm and style of Brenda Lee. Only 2 in stock at this price. 5) Wesley Dennis “Country Enough” $25 Hard to Believe this is only his 3rd album. 6) Dottie Jack “Lighter Shade of Blue” $28 as wonderful as her previous gems , also on the revitalised Hillside label. If you were speaking of Dottie, along with Amber & Miss Leslie, in racing parlance there would be a short half head between them. They are that good. 7) David Ferguson “David Ferguson” $20 This wonderful tribute to Cowboy is something everyone should have. Sadly, Cowboy Jack is in a very poor heath state. He has liver cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s. The wonderful album is a fitting tribute. David Ferguson sounds incredibly like Cowboy. 8) Kelly Spinks “Right Out Of This World” $28 Again, hard to believe this is only Kelly Spinks’ third. Wonderful voice like Beaumont natives George Jones & Mark Chesnutt and a fine mix of originals and covers. In the latter category non is better than Stoney Edwards’ “Two Dollar Toy” 9) Joey & Rory “His & Hers” $20 The perfect pair. Limited to copies on hand 10) Chuck Cusimano “I Wrote This” $20 Hard to believe he is not more widely known. Limited to copies on hand Honourable mention Sweethearts of the Rodeo “Restless” $28 and Teea Goans “That’s Just Me” $28

Latest Special Guest reviewer...the Swedish Cowboy. The time factor has gotten to me so need to get these through quickly, so I thank the wonderful Swedish Cowboy for his reviews. Yes, he is a real person and yes he is Swedish. He likes upbeat stuff. He is, as a reviewer, one third sage, one third seer and one third axe murderer. Bold notes added are mine.

Here by the way is the Swedish Cowboy’s 2012 Best ofs. 1. The Time Jumpers: The Time Jumpers 2. Tony Booth: Old School 3. Dottie Jack: Lighter Shade of Blue 4. The Cornell Hurd Band: Drop In On My Dream 5. Blake & Kendall Barnes: Welcome To Barnes Country 6. Kelly Spinks: Right Out Of This World 7. Kimberly Murray & Bob Manning: One Night Only! 8. Tim Culpepper: Pourin’ Whiskey On Pain 9. Tony Booth, Darrell McCall, Curtis Potter: The Survivors II 10. Diane McCall: My Imagination

Amber Digby: The World You’re Living In, Heart Of Texas Records HOTR4606: Yes, Duncan Warwick is correct (note.. People reviewer/editor). This is actually the best album so far on Heart of Texas Records. It is actually better than last year’s Tony Booth album, and that was the best that far. When I heard the first track I thought that I heard the song of the year, but when I heard #7 it was even better. After that there were 2 more contenders for song of the year, namely #9 and #13. This album

2 is just unbelievably good. I would say that there are 3 trax that are just good; the rest of them are superb or better. The last track is a steel and it is excellent as such. I cannot imagine that we will get anything better this year. The album of the year is already decided. I will add that Amber has added a new string to her bow and that is as . Despite the aversion for the Nashville style she has been to Nashville and written with several major writers. This includes and their co-write, “One More Thing I Wished I’d Said” is superb. Yep, Amber sings a female version of “The key”Whilst there they also cut a duet together, “The One I Can’t Live Without”. She was on Mark Chesnutt’s last and now Vince. I would dare say both enjoyed their experience. Wonderful album. Yes, her best. Shades “Music from the Honky Tonks” by virtue of the quality of her original songs.

Dale Watson & His Lonestars: “El Rancho Azul” , Red House Records $28: Dale has made a lot of excellent CD:s through the years (and several that are just good but not excellent) and could be called one of the biggest country stars of the last 20 odd years, but he still struggles to maintain a proper 5-piece band and obviously sells moderate numbers of albums. There is no justice in country music. However, this CD is probably one of his very best. It is up there with his 3 Hightone ones and Dreamland. It is just superb. Only original songs, and damn good ones at that! A great mix of mainly up tempo songs, shuffles and waltzes! Great singer and backing! Would echo these sentiments. Dale for mine has been producing even more consistent albums than he did at Hightone. This is the first in a little while. He did do some of the songs when he appeared here a couple of years ago and they went over a treat.

Wayne Hancock: “Ride” Bloodshot $25 And Wayne The Train also comes up with an excellent album. This one is in exactly the same style as his earlier ones; country boogie and early 50’s style country. All the songs seem to be original and the backing is spot on. What is a bit surprising is that he calls out for Johnny before every guitar solo when there is no musician listed with the name John or Johnny. Excellent! Might add that Bob Stafford is wonderful both on guitar & . Trombone is an integral part of Wayne The Trains’ best albums and gives wonderful light and shade. Wayne has been in a Betty Ford style establishment and now says he is a “Double A Daddy”. Don’t worry his music is superb.

VA: “Unsung Hero, A Tribute to The Music of Ron Davies” Little Chickadee $30 Who is Ron Davies was the first thing I thought when I saw this disc. Well, it turns out he is Gail Davies’ brother and a song writer; a dead one at that. I cannot remember ever hearing of him, so he is no hero of mine, but evidently of Gail Davies who has taken on the task of producing a tribute to her dead brother. This is a long album, but far from everything is worth listening to. The Delbert McClinton song is OK and others worth listening to are the ones by BR549, Suzy Bogguss, Rodney Crowell, Jeff Hanna and John Prine. Other notables include , Robbie Fulks and Dolly Parton. This is mainly and a few rock songs with a bit of country here and there. With 22 trax everybody should be able to find something to listen to here, but most of it isn’t my taste. Now, this is the part where the Cowboy has the axe in his hand...so take note more of the summary. I will add that Gail Davies is a super talented lady AND was responsible for producing what is arguably the best ever tribute cd in “Caught in the Webb” so you know she is talented. The songs are not as immediate but I like them. Some of the participants that the SC disn’t mention are Vince Gill (with Kelly Hogan), , and Mandy Barnett. They could gargle dishwater and it would be better than anything Taylor Swift or Kenny Chesney is ever likely to do

Chris Wall: “El Western Motel” $25: This is singer-songwriter music, and I think that as such is it good. This has some steel, and here and there, but the guitar and dominate. The good thing here is that the songs are not slow, but all

3 have good tempi. Also the lyrics are excellent and he is a good singer. This is all new material by Chris and features the wonderful Lloyd Maines. Its is recorded live in the studio. This is his first in at least 10 years I would say. Any disillusionment with the music industry is not evident. His story telling is sublime. “Six Shiny Strings” tells of the changing lives and fortunes of a guitar. “Hello I’m an Old Country Song’ is a cowrite with Dale Watson so you know it is good.

That’s it for the Swedish Cowboy...thanks mate!! Rest are 100% mine.

Everly Brothers – “The Ballads of The Everly Brothers” $32 Everly Brothers – “Rock” $32 Two new Bear Family releases and to be honest there is sometimes not a lot of difference between the two...I mean “Johnny is a joker...he’s a bird” is not that far removed from “Dream...dream dream dream...” they have the great harmonies and an energy that is fabulous and hard to not find totally infectious.Each has 30 tracks and as always the Bear Family quality is hard to resist. On the ballad one in particular it is not only a case of what you hear but what you don’t hear....this is particular in eveidence on tracks such as “Like Strangers”...wonderful recording and reproduced perfectly.

George Hamilton IV & George Hamilton V ‘Texas Cowboy Church” $25 The father & son do a nice mix of traditional and non traditional songs of which “Bargain Basement Preacher” is excellent. Don’t know how it fits in with the theme but they also include a joint version of George’s theme song “Abilene”.

Joni Harms “Harm’s Way” $25 Joni made one album for a major label and it was fine but as an independent artist she has stamped herself as a Western Tunesmith, to snitch the title of a great Chris Ledoux album. This keeps up the standard with both production and quality of the material. She wrote all the songs and several with the delightfully named Hobo J Varsos. “Love Won’t Get No Where” is a wonderful country song that could have been taken off an Amber Digby or Miss Leslie album. Great.

Ronnie Miller “Brothers, Legends & Friends” $25 Ronnie is a player and was the Steel Guitar Association’s “Player of the Year” for 2011. There are some vocal guests...Charley Pride (he is Charley’s steel man), Daryle Singletary and Vince Gill. The album is dedicated to John Hughey, famed as Conway’s guitarist and a member of the Time Jumpers and includes a Conway Medley as well as a Charley Pride medley.

Poco “All Fired Up” $28 This is the first studio album in over a decade and still at the forefront, and seemingly over a health scare is Rusty Young, on steel guitar and vocals. The group has now been going 45 years “Regret” sounds like a classic Eagles song...former Poco man Timothy B Schmitt became a member of The Eagles. They show a humorous side with a great song and parody...”Neil Young”.

Bobby Bare “The Real Thing/ I Hate Goodbyes-Ride Me Down Easy” Omni 2 on 1 $28 These are very hard to get albums, particularly the first which was released prior to Bare going to Mercury for a brief period. The second was made on his return and features the Biilly Joe Shaver title song. Tom T Hall is responsible for 3 of the songs on this cd. His observations on “Chicago Story” are right there with his classics. Eddie Noack’s “Barbara Joy” is the stuff classic country is made of...where else would the singer be a death row inmate? Excellent value with 24 tracks.

Gerald Smith “Hits & More” $25 You won’t find this anywhere. He is a writer whose probably greatest success has been Lorrie Morgan’s “What Part of No” which for mine is the best thing Lorrie has ever done. Now, he does a version here and you are going to say, no doubt, the lyrics of that song are entirely from a female perspective. Well, Gerald ties it together nicely....he is sitting in the bar and he tells of the overheard

4 conversation...which started “Sir if you don’t mind I’d rather be alone”. He also did one of the best of the later George Jones songs “The Lone Ranger”...about the guy who had so many silver bullets!! He also does his version of the witty “you Sing Like Chet” which appeared on the recent Clinton Gregory album...a wonderful cd which due to an ordering error can be yours for a song. He also has penned songs for George Strait and Collin Raye and as you may expect covers a number of styles. He is excellent on teh upbeat honky tonkers. Great.

Whiskey Sisters “Whiskey Sisters” $28 They were voted Best new Band in the Austin South By South West music awards and have an energy that is not really traditional country. You’d probably have to go back to 90s for a comparison. They have taken up a spot at the Continental Club, an Austin mainstay. The female honky tonker “Let’s Drink” is as country as you could get, with references to even, but elements of mix perfectly with country on tracks such as “Home on the Highway”. The vocals are great. They harmonise and trade leads and despite the title “Fool” are definitely nobody’s (fool that us). Top drawer.

Bob Manning “All Night Radio” $28 Bob Manning and his wife Kimberley Murray are already ensconced as part of Yesterday & Today Records country music royalty. Bob’s previous album “Just What I Wanted” was our album of the year 2 years ago and the new one sounds just as good. It is dedicated to the golden era of country radio, reminiscent of what all night radio legends such as Bill Mack used to play. It features 14 new songs. “Making Up With Her” features the wonderful Tony Booth as duet partner. “Rosita”, written by Kimberley Murray has all the subtle vocal nuances that show Bob as the classic vocalist he is. Just in by seconds...rest assured it is going to be here till the end of the year. Very attractively packaged as well.

Vern Gosdin “40 Years of the Voice” 4cd box set $55 This features 101 songs from the voice. It is in a very attractive fold out package and has a 16 page booklet. The songs really give a fine overview of Vern’s career. It also includes 11 new songs which are: Coldest Bedroom/ Dixie’s on My Mind/ Joy to the World/ Let’s Get Down to Business/ Likes of Jesus Loving me/ Mont Eagle/ Rockabye Katie/ Santa’s Driving a Chevrolet This Year/ That Old Silver Tone/ The Biggest Little Arms/ What’s a Country Coming To. The set begins (chronologically) with some of the bluegrass oriented songs he recorded with his late brother Rex and highlights his great success on the Columbia label. Sadly no longer with us but what greater legacy than to be remembered simply as “The Voice”.

Others Teresa Brewer “A Sweet Old fashioned Girl’ 2cds Jasmine $30 Teresa Brewer “Miss Versatility” 2cds Jasmine $30 There has been more than a severe shortage of Teresa Brewer material on the market..there has been nothing. These will change that with 62 tracks and 61 tracks respectively. She fell into the category of pop singer with enough versatility to cover country...she does a great version for example of ET’s “Walking the Floor Over You”. The hits are evenly distributed on both albums. Sadly she passed away in 2007 so I guess her final regret may have been the dearth of her classics. At least that has changed now.

Ronnie Ronalde “The Voice & Whistling of Ronnie Ronalde: By Popular Demand’ EMI UK $28 Ronnie was a product of the English music halls but enjoyed great success in Australia where yodelling was not something frowned on but rather widely embraced. This is an EMI UK release which features 50 tracks and appropriately starts with Don Robertson’s “The Happy Whistler”. They cover the period 1949 to 1970. He is still kicking in his 80s and apparently still performs.

Frank Ifield “The Yodelling Cowboy Years” Jasmine $28 In case someone missed it when first out, this is Frank’s early country recordings prior to his pop

5 stardom in the UK..he was such a star that the first Beatles album released in teh USA was called “Frank Ifield & ”..the company thought the Ifield songs may tempt buyers into trying the music of this hitherto unknown group!! True. 31 tracks

Yodelling Slim Clark “Cowboy & Yodel Songs” $28 “Singin' Yodelin' Guitar Pickin' Cowboy Songs” $30 Back in stock..the second was a big success end of last year. The earlier one had 28 songs on it.

Other Recent Bear Family. Eddie Noack “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” 3cds $70 Classic Starday and other label honky tonk. Later in the year Bear will issue a second Noack cd with his version of “Psycho” on it.

Paul Anka “Dianacally Yours” $32 36 of his early recordings including “Diana” (honestly the title of this cd stinks!), “Lonely Boy” “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” etc

Louis Prima “Louis Rocks’” $32 30 of the best with Sam Butera and Keely Smith.

Sun Country Box 6 cds + large hardcover book $240 ...as a bonus I have found a copy of the book that went with the original lp version many years ago so will chuck that in.

Johnny Cash “The Unseen ” $40. What we get is a 12 x 12 hard bound book of studio photos taken of Johnny between 1955 and 1958 that have never been published before. PLUS a one sided lp of two transcription shows...on lp for the first time. The other side of the lp (not playable) has etchings of Johnny Cash....so get it and you’ll be able to use th lie come up and see my etchings.

Porter Wagoner “Cold Hard Facts of Life” $70 ...not recent but back in stock. His classic themed RCA albums (6 of them) on one package.

Ernest Tubb “Walking the Floor Over You: Shows Part I” $35 Ernest Tubb “Walking the Floor Over You: Ernest Tubb Shows Part II” $35 These are DVDS featuring Ernest Tubb and the Texas Troubadours in fabulous colour from mid 60s. The Troubadours Jack Greene & Cal Smith do solo spots and a short hair suited guests on both”.

UK Reissues...due soon. Most on cd for the first time. Don’t miss out. 1. Marty Robbins “El Paso City/ Adios Amigo” 2 on 1 $30 Two albums from 1976 and 1977 respectively, teh former continuing his El Paso thread. 2. Roy Drusky “In a New Dimension/ If the Whole World Stopped Lovin” 2 on 1 $30 Two mid 60s albums that are going to be the only Roy Drusky available. Never heard it but “Mr Jones I Want to Marry Your Wife” is a delightful title.

6

3. Ray Price “San Antonio Rose/ Night Life” 2 o n1 $30 Ray Price at perhaps his artistic peak. The second is always reckoned to be one of the greatest country albums ever and set the tone for his later recordings. He is still as good as it gets. The former is a tribute to Bob Wills. The latter is just a must. 4. George Jones “Jones Country/ You’ve Still Got a Place in My Heart” 2 on 1 $30 Two of George’s early 1980s albums on cd for the first time. 5. Mac Davis “Hard to Be Humble: The Best Of” $30 At least the first great Mac Davis cd with the wonderfully witty title song & 21 others . Includes his great writing on “Watching Scotty Grow”, “In the Ghetto”, “Something’s Burning” etc 6. Marty Robbins “The Legend/ Come Back to Me” $30 Marty’s final albums from 1981 and 1982. Still singing as good as ever and great songs. Featured the fabulous Jordinaires. 7. Louvin Brothers “The Christian Life: the Definitive” Proper Box $35 4 cds + booklet in the nifty little Proper box. 112 tracks. A must have if you don’t have the Bear Family box. 8. “Miriam/ That’s the Way A Cowboy Rocks & Rolls/ Ridin’ Shotgun” 3 lps on 2 cds $30...Jessi’s final 3 Capitol albums all on cd for the first time 9. Glen Campbell “Glen Travis Campbell/ I Knew Jesus/ I Remember Hank Williams” 3 on 2 $30

Rarities...Rarest of the Rare

We have re-allocated some rarities throughout the newsletter. You will find some absolute bargains which are a once off treasure chest...don’t miss them. In the mean time these are the rarest of the lot.

Berry, Benny Standing Here Alone $45 Berry, Benny Mama’s Rockin’ Chair $40 Down to one copy only of each and only two titles. People have taste. Hawk Records from Northern Ireland was the company that released Oklahoman Benny’s first 4 albums. Everyone who was a Merle Haggard fan loved Benny. He had a similar timbre in his voice and was ably backed by a team led by Mike Headrick, a picture of whom is hung on the Swedish Cowboy’s wall and to whom the (highly religious) Swedish Cowboy says a prayer of thanks every night. Benny also is the recipient of our greatest EVER independent artist award. Others may disagree but they are entitled to be wrong. Every one of these is nothing less than brilliant, especially for fans of Merle Haggard. Had a few of each but solitary copies now. I can still remember palying “Standing Here Alone” for the first time Bond, Johnny Best of Johnny Bond $35 17 tracks on Varese & the only place you will get the original “Hot Rod Lincoln”. Also the hilarious “Ten Little Bottles”. Boone, Larry Swingin’ Doors & Sawdust Floors $35 As good as it gets. A great songwriter & singer he reminds of George Strait in the late 80s! This was his second cd and includes two songs written by Larry that are synonymous with other artists. “Beyond the Blue Neon” is of course the title song of George Strait’s best ever album whilst “Old Coyote Town” is a ’ specialty. Two great Texas songs (both originals)…the honky tonker ”Ten Times Texas” and “Under a Lone Star Moon” (the great ballad) complete this gem. Dalton, Lacy J – Crazy Love $35 Capitol, followup to “Survivor” and right up there with it. Highlight is “Little Boy Blue” a song Lacy wrote about her own song and a wonderful ballad that suits her husky voice. Great title track, a cover of an excellent Van Morrison song

7

Davis, Joey “Love Songs, Waltz’s True Stories & Lies” $35 The spelling may be a bit out but 17 superb honky tonk tracks are as good as it can go.“Barroom Hall of Fame” may be the best. Everybody loves this album. This has been voted as one of the Top 10 indie albums of all time. Like all true honky tonkers Joey is an all rounder..drinking, lying and cheating. Just superb. Delray, Martin $35 This is absolutely one of the best albums we have ever had and whilst the title track features Johnny Cash joining Martin in a sensational duet, I have no reservations in saying Martin’s version of the Wood Newton song “Lily’s White Lies” is one of my favourites of all time. A delicious play on words brilliantly performed by martin who got fed up with the music industry. Only 2 albums but as talented an artist as i have ever heard. Dickens, Little Jimmy I’m Little But I’m Loud $35 22 track gem on Razor & Tie is now out of print. Whilst it covers all his styles from honky tonk to novelty it includes one of the best ever tearjerkers, maybe the best, in “Raggedy Ann”...you sure have been quite a doll Raggedy Ann, yes quite a doll. Love the angst filled ballads. Great artist still performing. Edwards, Stoney “Old Folks Stick Together” $40 Razor & Tie. A stunning compilation of his Capitol tracks including “A Two Dollar Tou”…the closest he ever got to a hit “Hank & Lefty Raised My Country Soul”, his stunning take on “Mississippi You’ve Been on My Mind”l etc. What a voice! Lefty, Hag and Stoney!! Don’t miss it. Flatlanders “One More Road’ (Charly UK) $40 Butch Hancock, Joe Ely and Jimmie Dale Gilmore...3 Texans who recorded an album of great significance that was never released until Charly in the UK did so. It contains classics such as “Dallas” and “Tonight I Think I’m Gonna Go Downtown’ and the sound is stunning. Rounder in the US released this with 4 tracks less and to get all 17 you need this. I do believe the sound is better here as well. For mine a unique album with Steve Wesson on musical saw being a standout!! You better belive it. Ford, Tennesee Ernie & Glen Campbell “Ernie Sings & Glen Picks $35 This is the original issue with full liner notes by country music authority Rich Kienzle.. A 1975 album which has Ern singing over Glen’s acoustic guitar. The simple highlight Ern’s wonderful baritone and his interpretation of 2 Kristofferson songs, “Nobody Wins” & “Loving Her Was Easier” showed he could sing anything. Ford, Tennessee Ernie “Capitol Collectors Series” $35 Wonderful 29 tracker with great liner notes and sound quality. I have said it before, this series (ie Capitol Collectors) is all out of print but always represented the best sampling of an artists work. They have the ones you want to hear and also include stunning obscure tracks such as Ern’s take on an R & B number “I Don’t Know”. Ernie was one of the most versatile country vocalists who is revered for his gospel and religious recordings. There is only one such example here, but what a beauty...”His Hands”. Gaddis, Ron Chip Off the Old Block $40 Ron was for many years the bandleader for George Jones and he was the guy who duetted with George on live versions of “No Show Jones”. He was also the first husband of Lorrie Morgan; now that is a lot of water under the bridge story. Obviously there was no lasting acrimony as Lorrie joins him on “All Day All Night Thing”, a great song. The all out honky tonker “I Fell Off the Wagon” features his former boss, The Possum himself and Porter Wagoner joins on “When the Shiny Silver Eagle meets the Great Speckled Bird”. As you might expect there is more than a little George Jones influence. Hard to believe this is Ron’s lone album, A superb one too. Latest info is that alas Ron has followed the path of his mentor. Haggard, Merle The Way I Am $35 His MCA gem is literally like trying to find gold. Features some of his best and most personal songs like “No One to Sing For But the Band” & “Life’s Just not the Way it Used to Be” Also has a mini tribute to Ernest Tubb with 4 tracks either written by or associated with the Texas Troubadour. Great album. Haggard, Merle “Friend in California” $40 Original copy of this great album on the Epic label which includes his answer song “The Okie From Muskogee’s Coming Home”. He does a superb cover of Floyd Tillman’s classic “This Cold War With You”. A must.

8

Husky, Ferlin “Capitol Collectors Series” $40 This series is simply the best quality as far as sound and notes go.. This gem contains Ferlin’s wonderful “The Waltz You Saved for Me”, plus some hits and non hits. Well annotated and attractively presented. Jackson, Larry $40 (Loree label) I don’t think I have ever had a song like Larry’s “The Blue Highway” to attract a question as to who is it?? Larry’s voice I would suggest has been weathered to perfection. He is a superb singer and writer but alas these are his only two albums. You feel he has lived the songs. The sad “When Love Dies” has a real ache to it. He has real angst in his voice when he sings “Damn Those Memories”. Up there with the greatest indie cds ever Jackson, Larry “Out of the Blue” $45 This second album even has an uptempo honky tonk belter “Honky Tonk Two Steppin’ Beer Drinkin’ Saturday Night” & what better way to show his great voice than with a definitive reading of the Paul Siebel classic “Louise”. Alas, it seems zero chance of another album. Have heard rumours of Larry’s demise but nothing to support it...hope it is not true as there is one place he is appreciated to the extent he should be. Jansen, Frank You’re a Phone Call I Need to Make $40 (Bob Grady) Jansen, Frank My Way or the Highway $35 (Pink Records) Staggeringly great albums, the first on the wonderful Bob Grady label with production from Mike Headrick (the Swedish Cowboy will NOT go to bed at night unless he has said a prayer of thanks under the mounted 8 x 10 signed Mike Headrick photograph that hangs proudly in his living room) . I know there are several who rate the title song of the first as one of the greatest album tracks ever, and I am not going to argue. Most of the tracks on the first are by Bob Grady whilst Frank proves himself a writer of the highest standard on the second. He is also a brilliant interpreter. On the first he does a wonderful version of ’s “The Heart That You Own”. Am I going to suggest Frank does it better than Dwight...yep, I am. Jones, George Live at Dancetown USA $40 Amazing album superbly recorded which was on Ace UK label but has been deleted 10 years or so, 26 tracks and over an an hour running time and in great stereo sound. Like the Ernest Tubb below (also from 1965!) this is amazingand George runs through things he haswritten (“Window Up Above”/ “Ragged But Right”/ “Accidentally on Purpose”)as well as songs by Dickey Lee(“SheThinks I Still Care”) ,Melba Montgomery etc. Although not aregular “Jones boy” Buddy Emmons joins the band for this set. Also DonAdams (not Max Smart!) acts as the leader of the Jones’ Boys & duets withGeorge on Melba Montgomery’s “We Must Have Been Out Of Our Mind” as well as a couple of his own leads.Just remembered the classic Jones’ line“We’re gonna take a short liquor-mission I mean intermission”!! Jones, George Alone Again/Grand Tour $35 2 on 1. “Alone Again” is only available here & is rated one of his very best albums. Martin, Mario Keep it on the Country Side $30 Produced by James Stroud the amazing thing is that Mario was only 17 at the time. I still think about how this could be his only album. A 17 year old is so darn convincing when he sings honky tonk songs. How could that be.. I don’t know. Still as stunning and as perpelexing (in the sense of where is he now??) Favourite track is probably “Another Nail in the Wall”...very reminiscent of Ricky Van Shelton. A stunning album. Martin, Tony I’ll Meet You in Texas $25 1996 gem on the Bob Grady label produced by Mike Headrick. A very Haggard/Bakersfield influenced cd. What makes this so great is that it features 9 new Whitey Shafer songs, many co-written with Lonnie Williams who also writes one with Roger Springer. Mata. Billy Made in Texas $35 A real favourite. San Antonio’s top country artist which contains one of the Cosmic Cowboy’s and my favourite tracks the impossibly catchy “If This Was Texas”. This is on the Bill Green label or should I say was as it is impossible to find. He covers a number of styles with great versions of ’s “Navajo Rug” plus one of the last songs that hit for Lefty, “Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy”. A wonderful album. Had a few but genuinely down to 1 only. Morse, Ella Mae Capitol Collectors Series $25 21 tracks with a R & B flavour but also country. Best ever “Cow Cow Boogie!!

9

Nelson, Leo Under Neon Lights $45 Want to know my all time favourite independent, yeah not one of but the top spot?? This is it. Great album produced by Bob Grady with assist from the great Mike Headrick. 12 great tracks with a duet with Bill Arwood on the title track.I think on reflection a 3 way tie with Ron Sweet and Arnold Sanford is in order. Alas both Ron & Arnold have gone and heaven knows where Leo is?? To me the jewel is how easy Leo sings. Marsha Britton contributes harmony vocals. Favourite tracks? Start at the beginning and stop at the end. BUT, if pushed “Mama Did Raise One Fool After All” and “Under Neon Light”, the duet with Bill Arwood are superb. Nelson, Willie “ Peace in the Valley: The Gospel Truth Collection with Willie Nelson Jnr.” $50 They used a little poetic licence with the artists as Willie Nelson Jnr was known only as Billy Nelson all his life, up until it tragically ended on Christmas day 1991. So this album had special meaning for Willie as it seems this was the only time Willie Jnr/Billy had recorded. The results are stunning. Billy/Willie Jnr generally trades parts of the songs with Willie and has a distinctive voice that is instantly memorable. He does the sole vocal on "My Body's Just a Suitcase for Your Soul" and it indeed may be the best track on an album where nothing is less than grand. Willie solos on "Troublemaker" and it is a different and far better version than on his album of the same name. Being a big Willie fan I must rate this as his best gospel album an indeed one of the best in general. It was only ever an independent and was released in 1994...despite the Volume 1 added to the title there has never been another. It is incredibly rare. Buy it on Amazon...but only if you want to pay $100. Nelson, Willie “The Promiseland” $30 Is headed by David Lynn Jones great “Living in the Promiseland” and also sees Willie steer away from his own songs, although he does a brilliant full country version of his “I’m Not Trying to Forget You”. As a special treat he does a wonderful guitar version of a Bach minuet...the one that The Toys called The Lover’s Concerto. Nolan, Bob “The Sound of a Pioneer” $35 Garrett label. Bob Nolan retired from the Sons of the Pioneers in the 50s and did little, seemingly, in the period up to the release of this album in the late 70s. As such it was a surprise and a gem all in one as his distinctive voice had seemingly not altered in the slightest and the production by Snuff Garrett was first class. It has some great gospel including “The Man Walks Among Us” which features Marty Robbins. Alas Bob only lived a little while after this album...as did Marty unfortunately. Don’t miss the cd version as it is very hard to get. O’Kanes O’Kanes $30 Their stunning debut with classics“Oh Darlin’” and the bluegrass like romp “Oh Lonesome You”. Long long deleted. O’Kanes Tired of the Running $25 Second album from Keiran Kane & Jamie O’Hara is also hardest to get. Blind accordionist Jay Spell is superb. Oxford, David David Oxford $55 There has only been one and there appears to be little chance of another, but despite hope being minimal there is still some hope. This is superb with a mix of honky tonk, cryin’ in beer ballads and just plain great songs “”1- 800 Wine” is pure honky tonk whilst the Cosmic Cowboy, a sentimental old fluff if ever there was one, closes his annual community radio father’s day show with Oxford’s “Don’t Tell the Babies”. As far as production goes this is stunning. The great Bobby Flores is present throughout. And Michael Morales who apparently performed strictly in a Spanish market is great on acoustic guitar. David had talks with major labels apparently but was disillusioned when he was told he didn’t have the right image. Damn, why didn’t he get angry and produce a box set. Even that would not be enough. A gem gem gem!! Oxford, Vernon Let Me Sing You a Song: The 1960s RCA Recordings $45 Westside UK out of print gem with a whopping 28 tracks. These are on Bear Family box but that may be a bit too much for some. This is just about perfect. Ritter, Tex - Capitol Collectors Series $35 Out of print series, of which I would recommend with every title as being essential. This has all the hard to get ones, “Deck of Cards”, “Blood on the Saddle” & “Just Beyond the Moon” etc 25 in all. . Rodriguez, Johnny Gracias! $35 Fabulous album on Capitol. Released late 80s and included his last charting single, “I Didn’t Every Chance That I Had”. Great bunch of backing musicians including Pig Robbins on and Sonny Garrish on steel. Very hard to get now.

Ryle, Curt Life Time Guarantee $35 What can you say but Curt is a true indie artist, amazing talent, superb writer and singer but with the dress sense God gave a goat. But it is not that latter thing which matters & on the former he delivers. He wrote the superb“Mirrors Don’t Lie” & his own version loses nothing in comparison to that Gene Watson. Curt wrote 9 of the 11on this gem. And he has a superb style...that is vocal not dress, which he can certainly not lay claim to!! Schneider, John “Take the Long Way Home” MCA $35 Despite a some what goofy persona due his role in Dukes of Hazard, Schneider had a wonderful deep voice which was a natural for country music. All are superbly produced by . A wonderful highlight is, “Better Class of Losers”, not to be confused with the Alan Jackson track of the name. This is the Harlan Howard track which features none other than and Johnny Cash. BUT believe it or not, even better is “The Auction”...they’re auctioning daddy’s farm today. Hell it is hard to believe how good, and in view of the diabolical financial system in the US today it is still extremely relevant. Scott, Jack Capitol Collectors Series $35 Fabulous 23 tracker with a mix of upbeat and ballads. Even has 4 unreleased tracks. As far as the ballads go none is better than “What in the World’s Come Over You” (with the delightful break between the first and second word) and “Burning Bridges”. A very much underappreciated artist. Everyone should have this cd in their collection, Nice touch is the inclusion of some studio talk at the beginning of some tracks. Shearer, Charlie “Breakin’ Out” $30 A gem again with production by the very talented Curt Ryle and also wrote quite a few of the songs. So good in fact that Mike Headrick would be proud of this one!! He begins with a great shuffle version of Willie’s “I Just Destroyed the World” and then follows with a big Curt Ryle ballad “History Repeats Itself”. Originally from Texas...this is just how it should be. Simpson, Red “Best of Red Simpson: Country Western Truck Drivin’ Singer” Razor & Tie $28 20 tracks with great wit and style...as all truckin’ albums should be. A major influence for Junior Brown. Includes all his big hits such as “Highway Patrol” (one of Junior’s best as well) , “Nitro Express” and “I’m a Truck”, the very clever song which has the truck telling the story. Simpson, Red “The Man Behind the Badge/ Roll Truck Roll” $35 EMI UK 2 on 1 with 2 albums from 1966. “Motivatin’ Man” was actually picked up and recorded by John Laws but don’t hold that against Red. Springfield, Bobby Lee All Fired Up $30 An absolute ripsnorter. Crazed man who apparently got arrested for climbing over the White House fence in order to visit the President, presumably Ronny Regan. But his honky tonk style which includes the original “Hank Drank” is grand. Also includes a brilliant version of Eddy Arnold’s “What’s He Doing in My World” with intro by Eddy hisself!! . Sweet, Ron Ten in Tennessee $45 Another wonderful indie with the highlight the wonderful odeto the great man “I Play Haggard” in which he uses snippets of Haggard songs to tell the story. He outdoes even Vern Gosdin onhis version “Baby That’s Cold” and then shows himself a man for all seasons with the rollicking “Ten in Tennessee”. Thompson, Jeff Jeff Thompson $30 No, not that Thommo, but a fine singer who was going to have the first album release on the Arista country label but the album never came out. Has a style reminiscent of Ricky Van Shelton with a great deep voice. Does a superb version of “The Greatest Man I Never Knew”, a hit for Reba, but Jeff wins hands down!! Equally grand is the wonderful “It’s a Good Thing I Don’t Love You Anymore”, with a superb lyric and the upbeat “Today is Elvis’ Birthday”. Turner, Zeb Tennessee Boogie & Jersey Rock $30 King label anthology 1949-1953. On the now defunct Westside label. 24 tracks. Wagoner, Porter Greatest Hits $30 20 tracker with great and unusual selection including of course “Rubber Room” but also “What Would You Do, If Jesus Came to Your House”) Wall, Chris “Honky Tonk Heart” Ryko $30 His debut album originally released as a cassette only job on Tried & True Records in 1989 and issued on cd on Rykodisc in 1990. Not to be missed. It includes his version of “Trashy Women’ but the modern day play of

11 words on “I Wish John Stetson Had a Heart’ gives the album its true character. Great. Don’t miss his new album! Watson, Gene The Good Old days $25 Step One with a superb selection excellently produced by Ray Pennington who also contributed 4 Songs. Like all Step One releases this is out of print. Whitley, Keith I Wonder Do You Think of Me $30 The album he had just finished when he died. One of the greatest ever country vocalists. Deep rich voice with his own nuances. Pity the wonderful honky tonk songs were lived out so tragically with his alcohol overdose. He was seemingly taking over from as country’s premier vocalist and had the unheard of 5 number one country singles in a row. Young, Faron Live Fast Love Hard: Original Capitol Classics 1952-1962 $28 Country Music Foundation label. 24 tracks with excellent presentation. Big Rig Hits Truck Driver’s Boogie 1939-69 $35 A great cd which encapsulates a history of that great sub-genre the trucking song. Compiled jointlyby CMF & Diesel only records. First is“Truck Driver’s Blues” by Cliff Bruner with Moon Mullican on vocals. Classic’s such as Terry Fell’s “Truck Driving man” are featured with rarities such as Curtis leach’s amazing “Highway Man”. One of the best compilations ever.

Great line up and they stick faithfully to the traditions of the songs. Emmylou is superb as always on “Wondering” and it makes you wish she hadn’t strayed when you hear Alison Moorer doing “Back Street Affair”. Dwight, Willie, Jones, Dale Watson, Charley Pride...all hear. Country Funk 1969-1975 $20 Includes Jim Ford, Tony Joe White, Larry Jon Wilson, Link Wray. Not easy to find tracks Down in the Basement: Joe Bussard’s Treasure Trove of Vintage 78s 1926-1937 1cd with 24 gems and great 76 page booklet $22 Girl Called Johnny Cash: An Album of Tribute Songs $20 The concept is pretty simple. A collection of songs by artists singing about other artists. It starts with Gordon Terry’s great “Ballad of Johnny Cash”. Highlight though are the 10 tracks recorded by the wonderful Stoney Edwards of which only :”Hank & Lefty Raised My Country Soul” was ever released. The othe r9 are just as good. Fabulous.

Lighter Side of Blue $20 Columbia Legacy 2cd 48 tracks of early country artists 1926-1938...best of white artists singing country blues. Rare.Darby & Tarlton, Frank Hutchison etc

Pearls in the Snow: The Songs of Kinky Friedman $20 One of the best tributes, with a fabulous lineup Dwight Yoakam (“Rapid City South Dakota”), Tompall Glaser (“Get Your Biscuits in the Oven”), Kinky himself doing a wonderful song about Marilyn Monroe and her actual but hard to understand love of Joe Dimaggio (“Marilyn & Joe”…brilliant), Lee Roy Parnell sounding uncannily like Merle Haggard (“Nashville Casualty & Life”). That’s for starters as it also includes Delbert McClinton, Asleep at the Wheel, Guy Clark, Marty Stuart, Lyle Lovett (“Sold American”) Billy Swan and even Tom Waits!!! A must.

Rig Rock Deluxe A Musical Salute to the American Truck Driver $18 16 tracks which feature new singers & old.Possible highlight is Junior Brown teaming with Red Simpson on “Nitro Express”. Also includes one of Buck Owens last recordings, etc.

Shit! Happens $20 Daring title...who said the Germans=s don’t have any humour. Thsi is a wonderful album...if it could be summarised in two words it is “bad luck” being in the wrong place at the wrong time...being the victim of bad luck. The yare songs of tragedy but all us country music fans know the artist is winking at us. Still Kleenex is recommended. Brillaintlyu illustrated by German artist Reinhard Kleist.

Shuffletown Western Swing on King 1946-1960 $18 Westside label...out of print. 24 tracks

Town South of Bakersfield III Essentially it is all Los Angeles based artists (hence witty title), many of whom performed at the legendary Palomino Club, now I believe a restaurant, but in its day the place where everyone went when in California. Many of the artists have gone on to have successful recording careers but these selections are only available on here. All are good and this includes Dale Watson!!, Wylie & Wild West Show, Patty Booker, Rick Shea, Ronnie Mack plus a bunch of “who the hell are theys” who are pretty darn good such as Steve Kolander, Calvin Davidson, Ruby Trees etc. 16 tks $ $18 DVD DVD Live at the Hermitage 147 minutes $20

Brooks, Garth The Limited Series #1 $30 First 6 albums. Also known as the half decent years...well to be honest the first album ‘Garth Brooks” was a gem. Big book The Limited Series # 2 $30 sealed. The sometimes decent years. 5cds + DVD. Big book.

Cash, Johnny “Unearthed’ $100 This is now deleted and is very hard to get. It consists of 5 cds from John’s later career tenure with American label. 4 cds are tracks that are additional to his American Recordings cds and the fifth is a summation of the best of the American Recordings. These are housed in a very attractive cloth bound hard cover book. BUT THERE IS MORE. There is a second hard cover book with 108 pages, also cloth bound. These two cloth bound books are then housed in a cloth bound case....black of course (heck it is Johnny Cash!!). These are very hard to get. This is 100% as new. Don’t miss out.

Cash, Johnny Legend $35 4cds + 76 page book in nifty hard book style package. Simply put the best single Cash hits package you can get 104 tracks. The 24 tracks on the 4th cd are all duets or recordings with other artists.A perfect gift for the Cash- less person

Cash, Johnny “At Folsom Prison” This is the US edition complete in long flip style hard cardboard box, presented as it should be. 2cds + dvd. 40 page large booklet, The Dvd runs for 2 hr and 10 minutes and features actual performances and interviews with likes of Merle Haggard, Marty Stuart & .

Cash, Johnny “At San Quentin” $40 This is the US edition in a glossy long box with 40 page book. It had the 2cd presentation plus dvd. Vastly superior to the jewel case set available in Australia. This is the one that true Cash fans would demand.

Charles, Ray “Complete Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music” (Rhino) $70 long out of print gem. 4 cds + hard cover bound book in solid cardboard outer box. 93 tracks starting with his legendary albums which presented vastly different arrangements of classic country songs such as “Bye Bye Love” and “I Can’t stop Loving You”. Best for mine is the superb string laden version of “You Don’t Know Me”, a

29

classic Eddy Arnold track revamped superbly. This is extremely hard to get now and to be honest is just fabulous.

Cline, Patsy Collection $35 One of the greatest boxes ever with 4cds and 68 page book. The sound is exceptional. This is the one true MCA box and whilst there are other Patsy cds out there this does it all. Stereo sound is spectacular.

Gill, Vince “These Days” Ultra Special $25 4cds plus book. This is his 2006 box with 4 cds each with a separate theme on each. This is a self contained box..non on any other Gill cd. a) Workin’ On a Big Chill:The Rockin’ Record b) The Reason Why: The Groovy Record c) Some Things Never Get Old: The C & W Record w. Emmylou, J.

The book containing the cds slips together in this outer jacket. Both the copies I have are in pristine condition as far as the internals go. The cds and dvd in both are as new. This is not always the case as the action of taking them out and putting them back can scratch the discs but these are fine. I have two copies. Remember this is out of print all over the world. a)European version has cardboard sleeve, designed to resemble the US cloth edition. $100 b)US edition Cloth box. $120

Miller, Roger “King of the Road: The Genius of Roger Miller” 3cd + 40 page book. $48 If ever an artist was deserving of a Bear Family box set it was Roger. There is a dearth of his material, even in Greatest Hits packages. This is much more with 70 tracks that include most of his “Trip in the Country” album where he went back & recorded some songs that he wrote early in his career for other people such as “Tall Tall Trees”, “Invitation to the Blues”, “don’t We All Have the Right” etc. All the hits are there and it includes some great later things such as “Old Friends with Willie & Ray Price. This is now deleted as well.

The first version was from 1954 and the second was recorded in 2007 specifically for this box. I might say that although this was Willie’s first song there are artists I could name who haven’t written one half as good in their entire career. Comes with a 100 page book and is the “first” (supposedly) green cd in that no plastics were used at all on the package. If you don’t have any Willie this is great.

Owens, Buck “The Collection” Rhino. $45 Ultra special. Out of print gem with wonderful 80 page book with mostly colour photographs and includes a track by track rundown with Buck’s own comments. 62 songs are licensed from Buck himself and include all the hits including both the original version and the Dwight duet version of “Streets of Bakersfield” as well as some delightful non hits such as Buck’s latter duet with Emmylou Harris “Play Together Again, Again”. Great sound and a steal.

Reno & Smiley & the Tennessee Cut-Ups King Years 1951-1959 $48 4 cds + 24 page booklet from banjo man, Don Reno and guitarist Red Smiley . 115 tracks.

Rogers, Roy “Happy Trails: The Roy Rogers Collection 1937-1990” Rhino 3cds $45 Out of print. Rhinos status as the best exponent of the box set in the USA is enhanced with this gem 68 page book with rare photos and great track by track commentary. 94 tracks include a lot of rare tracks which promote the “Roy Rogers” image. Roy was a larger than life character but even if he never acted was a superb singer so good in fact that he is the only person who is in the Country Music Hall of Fame...twice. Solo and as original Sons of Pioneer.

Stanley Brothers “The Early Starday & King Years 1958-1961” $45 4cds + 20 page booklet in long style box. 109 tracks. This is now out of print. As may be expected there is a mix of gospel and secular tracks. Not just classic bluegrass but some of the best country music ever.

Statler Brothers 30th Anniversary Celebration Mercury 3cd $45 Great book style set with a 36 page book featuring the writings of Colin Escott. As far as boxes go it is excellent but largely avoids their gospel recordings. 62 tracks. Very nice. Includes their CBS as well as Mercury hits, though in all fairness the only one on the former label was “Flowers on the Wall” but it was also their biggest...even made the pop charts in Australia.

Williams, Hank Original Singles Collection 3 cd $35 Nice 12x12 box that features a Hatch Print company designed cover 84 songs including 20 page booklet. Includes undubbed “Tear in My Beer” ...you will get it on the complete box set but this is much more economical especially if you want the basics.

Williams, Hank Jnr “The Bocephus Box” 3 cds + 20 pg book $35. The Warner Brothers Years, well at least for the period 1979- 1992 are represented here. 62 tracks including some unreleased. Key tracks from albums such as Family Tradition, Whiskey Bent & Hell Bound, Rowdy, Habits Old & New etc.

Wills, Bob And His Texas Playboys “Legends of country Music” Sony Legacy $45 New & sealed 105 tracks on 4 cds. Foremost Wills authority Rich Kienzle, one of the better country music writers contributes the notes as well as compiling the sets. It is the best single Wills set as it includes post CBS hits such as “Faded Love” and concludes with some of the final session from 1973. As always any Wills cd which Kienzle has his name on will include “Drop Us Off at Bob’s Place” one of the most ebullient tracks you will ever hear.

Yoakam, Dwight Reprise Please Baby: Years The Warner Brothers $70 Out of print WB. 4 cds in new condition. Has a swag of of previously unreleased tracks including the entire 21 on disc 4. In my mind there is no question Dwight’s original Reprise recordings with Pete Anderson are his best. 87 tracks all up. Nice presentation, old style silver embossed Dwight on the cover.

Songs of the West Deluxe Leather Edition (Rhino 4 cd + 60 page box $80. This is exceedingly rare. The regular cardboard box edition is hard to get now but you never see this and it is stunning. Genuine cowhide...not naga hide. Remember the old Three Stooges line...Moe to Curly “Check his wallet and tell me his name” Curly “Genuine Cowhide”. This is an absolutely superb set with each cd having a separate theme 1. Cowboy Classics 2. Silver Screen Cowboys (where you will find perhaps the 2 ultimate highlights...Slim Pickens doing a wonderful version of Guy Clark’s “Desperados Waiting for a Train” and Rex Allen Jnr “Last of the Silver Screen Cowboys” (with Rex Snr and Roy Rogers) 3.

COUNTRY

Clifton, Bill Around the World to Poor Valley 8cd + 100 pg hard cover book $140 few small marks on box. Has a whopping 225 tracks from 1954 to 1991 which includes Decca, Starday an Kapp label recordings. Took folk traditionas to the bluegrass and country fans.

Collins, Tommy Leonard 5cds + 36 page book $110 “Leonard” (Sipes) was of course his real name as in the Haggard song. These are his Capitol recordings which trace his development as a singer and songwriter. 146 tracks.

Everly Brothers “Classic Everly Brothers” 3cd + book $70 No one in any form of music has had better hair than Don or Phil!! This includes all their Cadence recordings as well as their ultra rare Columbia recordings. What more can you say...Bear Family quality.

Flatt & Scruggs 1959-1963 5cd + 20 page book $100. This is worth the full price for cd #5 alone which is the complete “Carnegie Hall Concert”. It gives you an idea of the wonderful charisma of who acts as m.c. and the interaction

42

between group members is phenomenal escpecially the way the solos are handed around. As a bonus opening act Merle Travis joins the boys for encores of “Gotta Travel On” and “Mountain Dew”. This saw them entering their most popular period due the theme song from “Beverly Hillbillies” which is included here as is the related “Pearl Pearl Pearl”, their ode to Jed’s sister (and of course Jethro’s mother!)

Laine, Frankie That Lucky Old Sun (sealed box) $150 6cds + picture disc+hard cover book. Again the word versatility comes to mind but Frankie was mainly a pop singer who did some great country material. This includes “Mule Train” and covers his formative period 1944-1951. It features his duets with the equally diverse Patti Page. Many unissued songs.

Laine, Frankie I Believe (sealed box) $140 6cds + hard cover book. This covers his early Columbia Recordings from 1951 to 1955 and has mammoth hits “Jezebel”, teh title cut and of course “High Noon”...a huge hit for Frankie even though Tex Ritter did it in the movie. It includes his duets with Doris Day, Jo Stafford, the Four Lads & probably the greatest child vocalist ever in Jimmy Boyd....well I loved Jimmy anyway!!

Locklin, Hank Send Me the Pillow You Dream On 3 cd + 32 pg Decca/ 4-Star etc (pre RCA) $70. This covers the period 1948 to 1955 and has his original version of the title track. As well as 65 others.

Monroe, Bill Bluegrass 1959-1969 4cd + 28 pg book $80 120 tracks with a multitude of backing musicians who essentially were forever changing...suggesting Monroe must have been hard to work for. Includes , Roland White, Benny Martin, Kenny Baker etc.

Pierce, Webb Wandering Boy 1951-58 4cd + 32 pg book $80 Covers Webb’s Decca Recordings from 1951-1958including duets with the likes of Kitty Wells, Red Sovine (notably a duet of “Litttle Rosa”) and the Wilburn Brothers. 113 songs in al including 18 previously unrelased. One of the most enduringly popular boxes.

Rainwater, Marvin Classic Recordings 4cds + book $80. Book and cds are mint but there are a few marks on the box. It appears that the box was used to support a sheet of paper on which someone has written leaving indent marks. If you look straight on you can’t see them. Marvin’s biggest hit “Gonna Find Me a Bluebird” was a US smash but his rockabilly- esque “Whole Lotta Woman” was a UK #1. Great on the uptempo songs and the ballads. Wonderful voice even if his Native American roots are a tad questionable.

Reeves, Jim Welcome to My World 16 cds + 124 page book. $320 This represents Jim’s complete studio recordings for both Abbott & Four Star as well as RCA. 447 tracks. The RCA ones in particular sound stunning, argument that the

43

Nashville RCA studio was perhaps the best ever. Rarely available except as brand new and then that is over $500

Robbins, Marty Country 1960-1966 4 cd + book $100. Marty’s boxes are perhaps the most popular Bear Family boxes we have ever sold and good reason...there is simply not a bad song and Marty is perhaps the most versatile vopcalist in all country music history with an ear for a great song...many of course he wrote. One of the biggest, “Devil Woman” is featured on this set. His fabulous gospel album “What God Has Done” is included here.

Snow, Hank Singing Ranger Vol 1 4cd + 16 pg book $80 Hank’s first US recordings and what a start with his signature “I’m Movin’ On”. Has his first duets with Anita Carter including the wonderful “Bluebird Island” and of course it wouldn’t be a Hank album without a tearjerker such as the original version of “Nobody’s Child”.

Snow, Hank Thesaurus Transcriptions 5 cd + 40 pg book $100 couple small marks on box. These tracks were recorded for radio broadcast and are not on any other Hank Snow album. Sound is excellent. Around 6 hours worth!!

Walker, Billy Cross the Brazos at Waco 5 cds + book $120 One of the most versatile country singers...a little like stable mate, Marty Robbins. Indeed the “Cross the Brazos at Waco” album could be compared with Marty’s fabulous western albums. Grady Martin is the main guitar man on both so you could expect some similarity. His biggest hit was “Charlie’s Shoes” and it is one of the great country songs of all time.

NON COUNTRY

Clooney, Rosemary Come-on-a-My-House 7cd + 80pg hardcover book $140 Another versatile vocalist who did some duets with George Morgan and even but then again did recordings with Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby.

Clooney, Rosemary Memories of You 7cd + 80pg hardcover book $140 Another box showing her great versatility.. Carl Smith, husband Jose Ferrer, teh wonderful Jimmy Boyd, the HI-Los and even...yep a vocal duets or two with Bennny Goodman.

Dr Feelgood/Piano Red The Doctor’s In 4cd + 20 page book $80 122 tracks on 4 cds Willie Perryman, Piano Red...Dr feelgood...you take the pick. One of the true boogie woogie piano masters.

King, Freddie Taking Care of Business 1956-1973 7cds + 104 page book $150 It includes his King label (appropriate eh what!) Atlantic & right up to his final on Shelter Records (with Leon Russell) Rated 25 in the top 100 guitarists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine.

Morse, Ella Mae Barrelhouse Boogie & the Blues 5cd + 40pg book

44

$100 what a variety of styles. 134 tracks jazz to country duets with Tennesee Ernie Ford. Includes her trademark “Cow Cow Boogie”

Platters Four Platters & a Lovely Dish 9cds + 52 page book $180. This is fabulous. All the group took turns at lead vocals even though Tony Williams took most especially on the hits. Love the leads featuring bass vocalist Herb Reed. Has 254 tracks including the original hits of classics such as “Great Pretender” , “Twilight Time”, “My Prayer” etc.Maybe the greatest vocal group ever.

Various Round the Town: Following Grandfather’s Footsteps: A Night at the London Music Halls 4 cd + 136 page hard cover book $100 Early Jazz, pop, novelty etc in great quality...includes George Formby snr!!

Songs for Political Action Folk Music, Topical Songs and the American Left 1926-1953 10 cds plus 212 page hard cover book $280 Very late addition...and testament that even the best can double up on box sets. Only reason we have it here as honestly this is so good. Features Peter Seeger, Earl Robinson, Woody Guthrie, and starts with Carl Sandburg in 1926. Again a work of art.

Dion “King of the new York Street” $50 Now out of print, 3 cds with a 52 page book. All eras are covered from his early sides as a doo-wop singer with the Belmonts through his darker sides where he was heavily into drugs. Highlight from that era is the stunning “Your Own Backyard”. A must have. This is truly a wonderful set and it could have been put under the 50s or even folk. Such is the versatility of the man. “Runaround Sue” and “Abraham, Martin & John”... two fabulous hits but how different can you get...about this much!! Wonderful. Great singer and great box.

Domino, Fats “They Call Me the Fat Man: Legendary Imperial Sessions” $58 EMI/Imperial USA. 4 cds The great survivor and a wonderful set, second to the Bear Family box.. 4cds + 84 page book with some nice foldouts. His biggest hit was “Blueberry Hill” but in Australia is was “I’m Gonna Be a Wheel Someday”. I call him a survivor as he was rumoured to have been killed by Cyclone Katrina. It was false but everything he had was destroyed. Kudos to the US Government for replacing his “National Medal of the Arts” & to Capitol for replacing all his Gold Record awards.

Lehrer, Tom The Remains of Tom Lehrer” Rhino. $60 Same style as the Ray Charles with 80 pg hard bound book. This one has 3 cds which is virtually all he ever recorded. I love Tom Lehrer. Still kicking as this goes out. Hard to believe his first album was from 1953 with such tracks as “the Old Dope Peddler” & “Be Prepared”.

A companion to the Crosby set. As you may guess VERY detailed notes.

Nelson, Rick(y) Legacy Box 4cds + 52 page book. Capitol USA $60. Hard to believe he never started out to be a singer but he had the most popular tv show in the USA and was as good looking as anyone so it was a natural progression and unlike many he had talent. 100 tracks from the Ricky to the Rick, though near the end of his career he reverted to Ricky as Carl Perkins had referred to him as Ricky and he figured if that is what Carl wanted to call him it was just fine.

Ochs, Phil Farewells & Fantasies Rhino $70 Genius or nut? Read the excellent 100 page book and you are bound to be perplexed. I’d say nut but the music rules. Perhaps the #2 protest singer to Mr Dylan. This is very very hard to get. The cds & book are in great shape and there are a couple of very minor marks on the box, which is hard book style. Two of his later songs “Rehearsals for Retirement” and “No More Songs” eerily foreshadow his suicide which did not surprise many.

Young, Neil “Official Release Series Discs 1-4” 24 K Gold LIMITED edition. $110 These may have been included in the country section. DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE STANDARD JEWEL CASE EDITION sold in Australia. These are gold discs a la Mobile Fidelity. They are genuine gold, which gives better sound as the laser is able to read more of the encoded signal. BTW, some discs claim to be gold but are merely gold covered. If you have a disc claiming to be a gold limited edition you can see if it is real by holding up to your eye. You can actually see through the real ones. These ARE real. They also replicate the packaging of the original lps with double fold covers and inserts. These are also numbered editions has Neil Young/ Everybody Knows This is Nowhere/ After the Goldrush (his best)/ Harvest (his biggest seller).
