Atkins Chet - Mr. Guitar-The Complete Recordings 1955 – 1960 7CDBox + BOOK (Käytetty CD)
€120,00Quick ViewIn a career that stretched over a half century, master guitarist Chet Atkins recorded nearly one hundred albums under his own name. Many consider the albums included here, made between 1955 and 1960, as his definitive work. Moving beyond traditional country, Atkins created a vast new audience with ’Chet Atkins In Three Dimensions,’ ’Stringin’ Along With Chet Atkins,’ ’Finger-Style Guitar,’ ’Hi-Fi In Focus’ and ’Chet Atkins At Home.’ They weren’t country albums, though they included country tunes. They weren’t jazz records, but they featured jazz and pop standards. They offered melodies by Bach, Brahms and Chopin, but they were hardly classical records. They included compositions by Ernesto Lecuona, but they’re not flamenco.
This seven-CD box also includes ’Mister Guitar,’ ’Teensville,’ ’Chet Atkins’ Workshop’ and his acoustic Spanish guitar set, ’The Other Chet Atkins.’ Tracks from the orchestrated Living Stereo classic ’Chet Atkins In Hollywood’ appear here in their original, superior 1958 versions. Many other numbers only appeared on singles or EPs, including tracks issued as ’The Rhythm Rockers Featuring Chet Atkins.’ Sixteen RCA Victor masters and alternate takes here were previously unissued. Also included are tracks from two abandoned projects: ’My Brother Sings’ (featuring Jim Atkins on vocals) and an Elvis Presley tribute. Twenty SESAC recordings (never commercially available) and the 1959 ’Hum And Strum’ LP are also included.
This set is the summation of Chet Atkins’ art. Budding and seasoned guitarists alike spent hours with these albums trying to unscramble Atkins’s technique. The list of musicians indebted to his groundbreaking virtuosity is enormous: Jerry Reed, Carl Perkins, Lenny Breau, George Harrison, Dave Edmunds, Mark Knopfler, Doc Watson, Scotty Moore, Marty Stuart, Richard Bennett, Thom Bresh, Leo Kottke, Buster B. Jones, and countless others. The Ventures learned Walk Don’t Run from Atkins’ 1957 recording, included here. Other Atkins staples include The Poor People Of Paris, In The Mood, Tiger Rag, Trambone, Blue Echo, Petite Waltz, Yankee Doodle Dixie, Jitterbug Waltz, Django’s Castle and the rhythmic Boo Boo Stick Beat, which is featured in two versions.
As a bonus, this set includes Atkins’s first-known solo recording (a 1945 demo acetate from WNOX, Knoxville), and all tracks from ’A Most Happy Fella,’ a rare EP featuring Atkins accompanying Eddy Arnold on songs from Frank Loesser’s 1956 musical.
In a 112-page hardcover book, Rich Kienzle documents Atkins’ life and music during these years, including his parallel career as a producer who helped shape the emerging ’Nashville Sound.’

Various - I’m On My Own Grandpa and Other Country Classics 1947-1962 (CD)
€13,00Quick ViewWhilst opening the Eddie Arnold show guitarist Lloyd George and mandolinist Rollin Sullivan formed the comedy duo ’Lonzo & Oscar’. In May 1947 having acquired an RCA Victor contract they recorded their first session resulting in the release of a burlesque version of ’Old Buttermilk Sky’ coupled with the humorous ’Take Them Cold Feet Outa My Back’, both on this CD. From then on they never looked back, with the next session they produced ’I’m My Own Grandpa’ which was not only a big seller, reportedly four million, for them but several other popular artists of the time.
In 1949 they moved to Capitol Records & Lloyd also signed as a solo under the name of Ken Marvin. Tired of the zany act Ken signed for Mercury and after two years was back at RCA Victor where he first recorded the much re-issued rockabilly track ’Uh-Huh Honey’. He continued in the same vein for Aladdin’s C&W subsidiary Intro Records, once again recording ’Uh Uh Honey’ both versions included here.
For his last recordings he reverted to his real name Lloyd George. The two releases were more bluesy than country and confused blues discographers for years until his full history was known. Videos of Lonzo & Oscar can still be seen online playing their old tunes but sadly Lonzo is not Lloyd George nor is he Ken Marvin, but the 32 tracks on this CD are all three of them!

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.
