Ford Tennessee Ernie - Songs Of The Civil War (Käytetty CD)
€12,00Quick ViewKaksi legendaarista albumia nyt samalla cd:llä! American Civil War enthusiasts have long treasured Tennessee Ernie Ford’s ’Civil War Songs Of The South’ and ’Civil
War Songs Of The North.’ Released by Capitol Records in 1961 at the start of the Civil War Centennial, these albums
gathered long-forgotten patriotic numbers, dramatic saga songs, rousing camp sing-alongs and sentimental parlor tunes
from the bloody four-year conflict between the Union and Confederate states.
Both albums stand as a testament to Ford’s sensitivity and versatility as a vocalist. No other American popular singer of
his era could interpret such diverse, historic material as effortlessly as Ford did on his Civil War albums. He breezes
through spirited comic songs with the same light-hearted touch that made him one of the country’s most beloved
television personalities. His somber, unforgettable bass-baritone vocals on Lorena and The Vacant Chair underscore the
sadness and despair that inspired these laments. Ford’s musical director Jack Fascinato skillfully blended elements of
period authenticity into arrangements that would appeal to contemporary audiences.
Ford fans and Civil War enthusiasts alike have long waited for a definitive compact disc reissue of these classic albums.
An earlier Capitol CD collection, released after Ken Burns’ acclaimed 1990 documentary series The Civil War aired on
American public television, slipped out of print before anyone knew it existed. Copies now fetch more than US$100 on
collectors’ markets – when they turn up at all.
This Bear Family compact disc finally restores all twenty-four songs from these landmark LPs. This reissue also includes
a booklet containing the complete lyrics for each song – including verses that Ford and Fascinato edited from their
recordings – and new notes on the songs and original albums by Dave Samuelson.

Cash Johnny & Carl Perkins - I Walk The Line/Little Fauss And Big Halsy (Käytetty CD)
€13,00Quick View2 soundtrack levyä samalla cd:llä.
Johnny Cash’s two soundtrack albums have become collectors’ items over the years. In 1970, he and Carl Perkins wrote the themesong and incidental music for the cult Robert Redford biker movie ’Little Fauss And Big Halsy,’ and Johnny wrote the music for a John Frankenheimer movie originally titled ’September Country,’ then re-titled ’I Walk The Line.’ Rather than recycle old recordings, Johnny and Carl made all new recordings for these two soundtracks, even if a few of the songs were of older vintage. Although the songs work best in the context of the movies, both albums work excellently as standalone music. The songs for ’I Walk The Line’ in particular, capture the torment of a small town sheriff (Gregory Peck) tortured by his love for a young girl (Tuesday Weld). The Bear Family reissue CD comprising both these long-deleted albums.

Cash Johnny & Carter June - It`s All In The Family (Käytetty CD)
€10,00Quick View”ust recently, June Carter issued a well-received solo album, her first in a long time. As she explains in interviews, she has spent the last few years looking after her husband, Johnny Cash. June’s last great solo album was ’Appalachian Pride’, dating from 1976, now reissued by Bear Family.
Despite the fact that she grew up on the road with her famous mother, Maybelle, June has always been intensely proud of her family’s roots in Appalachia. That was never more evident than on these recordings where she lends her personal stamp to songs like East Virginia Blues, Another Broken Hearted Girl and Big Balls In Nashville.
’Appalachian Pride’ has been rounded out with Johnny Cash’s children album, ’The Johnny Cash Children Album’ on which Johnny (with some help of his family: June Carter Cash and Rosey Nix) makes music for everyone’s family. The titles include: I Gotta Boy (And His Name Is John) (& JUNE CARTER CASH); Little Green Fountain (& JUNE CARTER CASH & ROSEY NIX), The Mystery Of Number Five and Ben Dewberry’s Final Run. Here’s a rarely heard side of Johnny Cash. The Man in Black lightens up!

Nelson Rick - Another Side / Perspective (Käytetty CD)
€11,00Quick ViewAce’s fifth 2-on-1 Rick Nelson release brings together 1968’s ANOTHER SIDE OF RICK and 1969’s PERSPECTIVE, two of the most sought-after albums in MCA’s catalogue. Big money still changes hands for these albums at auction and the very fact that neither has ever been released on CD before is certain to make this one of the biggest selling discs of the year.ANOTHER SIDE OF RICK came hot on the heels of two very successful country albums and it was probably the sharp contrast in material that made it such a poor seller at that time. It was fashionable to be arty” as proven by Richard Harris’s MacArthur Park being voted Song Of The Year…suddenly, ’production’ of material became for more important than content. As Rick later looked back on his 68/69 period, he recalled: ”I was lost. For a while, I said, ’OK, you get me a song and a producer and I’ll do it your way’. For a while, the producer became more important than the artist which is kin of an unhealthy situation because the production should really enhance the artist…but with me, I was getting buried in it.”Songs such as Promenade In Green, Dream Weaver and Don’t Make Promises found their way onto the singles market but created little or no interest. This was Rick’s self-confessed experimental stage of his career and for a man who throughout his entire career surrounded himself with some of the finest musicians in the business, it seemed particularly odd that for PERSPECTIVE, Rick decided to use session musicians on every track! In actual fact, the PERSPECTIVE tracks had been recorded for close to 18 months when the album reached the shop mid-way through 1969 and with hindsight, it’s easy to say that the songs of the likes of Randy Newman and Paul Simon were not designed for Rick. Even Rick himself knew this: ”PERSPECTIVE was a complete experiment. When I recorded the Randy Newman songs, they just sounded like me singing Randy Newman songs… I did nothing with the material. They were good songs and I should have put more of me into them. I should have re-arranged them to suit me, but again, it was a learning process.”Not one of the album tracks was released as a single and that fact alone adds interest to this CD now that we’re 30 years further down the road. Many Nelson fans who missed (or ignored) these albums in the late 60s, coupled with the countless fans who discovered Rick via The Stone Canyon Band just a year or so later, will be eager to add this little shiny disc to their collections. This is an interesting release to say the least.”
