Nelson Rick - Best Always/Love And Kisses (CD)
€18,00Quick ViewKaksi 60-luvun Decca albumia samalla cd:llä.
This is the third release in our reissue programme of Rick Nelson’s Decca repertoire which spanned a 20 year period. During this time, Rick moved from mainstream rock’n’roll into pop, and then into country.
Both BEST ALWAYS and LOVE & KISSES were released in 1965, but sound very similiar to Rick’s 1964 releases THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU and SPOTLIGHT ON RICK – in fact they sound as though all four albums could have been recorded on the same day.
This latest 2-on-1 features Rick’s regular band, with James Burton on lead, augmented by Bill Strange and Jerry Kolbrak on rhythm guitars.
When Rick released these albums the Beatles were dominating the US charts, with acts such as Dave Clark Five, Herman’s Hermits and the Rolling Stones hot on their heels. Acts which had come in with rock’n’roll a decade earlier were considered has beens in the US. But throughout the rest of the world, Rick still had a strong following and these albums sold very well. 33 years on it’s a good time to re-assess the material that was dismissed at the time.

Nelson Rick - Bright Lights/Country Fever (CD)
€18,00Quick View”2 Country albumia samalla cd:llä.. Suositellaan!! Loistavaa country-rock`n`rollia!
By the time Rick Nelson recorded the two country albums that make up this 2-on-1 reissue, he already had a decade of experience behind him. He enjoyed phenomenal success after signing a five year recording deal with Imperial Records back in 1957. The majority of his early hits; Be Bop Baby, Stood Up, Believe What You Say and the like were to become classic hits in the field of rock’n’roll. When hard-driving rock began to soften towards the early 1960s, Rick turned his hand to beat ballads and continued his success with the Decca Record company after signing a lucrative 20 year contract in 1962.
During the first couple of years with Decca, Rick’s string of successes continued; part of Decca’s investment was returned as String Along, Fools Rush In, For You and The Very Thought Of You hit the charts…but then, suddenly, the hits dried up.
Rick had always enjoyed country music and although he was never regarded as a country singer, much of his early success had strong country connections. Both BRIGHT LIGHTS and COUNTRY FEVER were recorded in Decca’s west coast studios and sometime after the 1966 release of the BRIGHT LIGHTS album, Rick said: ”When I first decided to cut those records, I wanted to prove the point that good country music could be recorded here in the west, without having to go to Nashville”…and on listening to these two albums you will realise that he was right!
Rick augmented his regular four piece band by adding Glen D Hardin, Clarence White and Glen Campbell to the country sessions. It was, however, the superb musicianship of James Burton, who put down his guitar in favour of slide dobro, that gave each and every one of these tracks its cutting edge. Many of the songs on the BRIGHT LIGHTS album had already enjoyed chart success and, by the time Rick’s versions reached the airwaves, the fans were already aware of the material. Consequently, Bright Lights & Country Music, Louisiana Man, Truck Driving Man, and Hello Walls were soon to be regarded as important steps in Nelson’s career.
The COUNTRY FEVER album, recorded in 1967, continued in the same vein. Again, the songs of established country songwriters were used to great effect; the songs of Merle Travis, Willie Nelson and the legendary Hank Williams helped put COUNTRY FEVER in the Country charts…and Rick Nelson once again became one of the most sought after artists in America.”
