| Two CD set featuring 55 of the most popular country hits
of 1955 based on charts in Billboard for "Most Played On Jukeboxes",
"Best Sellers In Stores" and "Most Played By Jockeys." 1955 was a
transitional year - more and more country records were crossing over
into the pop charts and rockabilly and rock 'n' roll emerged with
Elvis's first hits in the country charts and a number of country artists
covering rock 'n' roll and R&B hits. Includes classic sides by Red
Foley, Hank Snow, Lefty Frizzell, Marty Robbins, Tommy Collins, Faron
Young, Hank Williams, Johnnie & Jack, Jimmie Rodgers (his 1930 recording

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Acrobat 4015 | Hillbilly Honeymoon | ● CD |
| Subtitled "Manhaters, Misogynists & Marital Mayhem" this
is a fun collection of country songs from the late 20 through the early
50s dealing with the perils and pitfalls of marriage - mostly from the
male perspective. Many of the tracks have been on CD before bt not in
this context includes Beware by Blind Alfred Reed, White
Shotguns by Hank Penny, Faithless Husband by Jimmie Tarlton,
I Can't Tame Wild Women by Bill Boyd's Cowboy Ramblers,
Philadelpha Lawyer by The Maddox Brothers & Rose, Seven Years

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Acrobat 4033 | Roots Of Rockabilly - Volume 1, 1950 (26 tracks) | ● CD |
| 26 tracks, recommended I'm not sure about the rockabilly connection but this is a fine collection of bluesy country, uptempo country and country boogie which certainly all contributed to rockabilly. Mostly familiar artists though not always their most familiar recordings so there's probably some stuff here you don't already have. Includes sides by The Delmore Brothers, T. Texas Tyler, Clyde Moody, The Maddox Brothers & Rose, Hank Snow, Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, Red Foley, Moon Mullican, Tennessee Ernie Ford & Kay Starr, Skeets McDonald & benny Walker (the raunchy Birthday Cake Boogie), Red Kirk, Arkie Shibley, Jimmy Dickens and more.

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Document 8037 | Nashville, 1928 | ● CD |
| 23 tracks, 68 mins, highly recommended This CD pulls together the results of a Victor field trip to record a selection of Opry acts. The six heard here are mostly second-string--Uncle Dave Macon and Dr. Humphrey Bate, among others, having already recorded elsewhere--but capable of some fine, driving playing for all that. And there's one absolutely essential track, the Binkley Brothers' I'll Rise When the Rooster Crows: Jack Jackson, a singer added at Victor's insistence, turns in one of the greatest vocal performances in hillbilly music. (Other acts: Paul Warmack & His Gully Jumpers; Theron Hale & Daughters; Poplin-Woods Tennessee String Band; Crook Brothers; Blind Joe Mangrum.) Sound is better than Document's average. (DW) BINKLEY BROTHERS' DIXIE CLODHOPPERS: All Go Hungry Hash House/ Give Me Back My Fifteen Cents/ I'll Rise When The Rooster Crows/ In The Lane/ It'll Never Happen Again/ Little Old Log Cabin/ When I Had But Fifty Cents/ CROOK BROTHERS STRING BAND: Going Across The Sea/ Jobbin Gettin' There/ Love Somebody/ My Wife Died On Friday Night/ THERON HALE & DAUGHTERS: Beautiful Valley/ Hale's Rag/ Jolly Blacksmith/ Listen To The Mocking Bird/ Turkey Gobbler/ BLIND JOE MANGRUM & FRED SHRIVER: Bacon And Cabbage/ Bill Cheatam/ POPLIN-WOODS TENNESSEE STRING BAND: Are You From Dixie?/ Dreamy Autumn Waltz/ PAUL WARMACK & HIS GULLY JUMPERS: Behind The Train/ Robertson County/ Stone Rag/ Tennessee Waltz/ The Little Red Caboose |

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Fuel 2000 61530 | Appalachian Heart - The Original Bluegrass Classics | ● CD |
| 17 tracks, 48 mins, recommended This collection came out in 2006 but seems like it came out a few years earlier, closer to when the "O Brother Where Art Thou" movie was new. That movie and the music from it are definitely the inspiration for this compilation, with the key song on this being the very first version of Man Of Constant Sorrow by Emry Arthur. Besides that legendary number, you get a whole mess of fantastic old-time mountain music. Tracks by J.E. Mainers' Mountaineers, Wade Mainer going solo with his The Sons of the Mountaineers, Jerry & Sky with a rip-roaring version of Orange Blossom Special, Charlie Poole & His North Carolina Ramblers with the classic Don't Let Your Deal Go Down Blues, and many, many more fine selection of Bluegrass, folk, and country from the Appalachian mountains. This is a label cut-out, so it will have a hole punch in the barcode, but is otherwise in brand new condition. The one thing that would have really elevated this CD would have been to scrap the existing liner notes and replace them with less trite, more detailed notes that tell the more of the rich history represented herein.

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Gusto GT 0343 | A Traditional Bluegrass Country Christmas | ● CD |
| 20 Christmas songs performed by Jeannie Seely (O Holy
Night/ Hark The Herald Angels Sing/ O Little Town Of Bethlehem + 5
more), Mac Wiseman (Go tell It On The Mountain/ Up On The Houstop/
Silent Night + +5 more) and Wilma Lee Cooper (Away In A Manger/ O
Come All Ye Faithful/ Jingle Bells and Deck The Halls. |

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Hightone 8058 | Tulare Dust - A Songwriters's Tribute To Merle Haggard | ● CD |
| Fantastic tribute to the master featuring great
performances of his songs by some top contemporary artists like Tom
Russell, Iris Dement (a chilling version of Big City), Peter Case
(a powerful treatment of A Working Man Can't get Nowhere Today),
Robert Earl Keen, Rosie Flores, Steve Young (a very intense Shopping
For Dresses), Barrence Whitfield, Billy Joe Shaver (a searing
version of Ramblin' fever with hot guitar from son Eddy), Katy
Moffat, dave Alvin and others. No attempt is made to copy the originals
but use the songs as starting point for the artist's own creativity.
(FS) DAVE ALVIN: Kern River/ PETER CASE: A Working Man Can't Get Nowhere Today/ MARSHALL CRENSHAW: Silver Wings/ IRIS DEMENT: Big City/ JOHN DOE: I Can't Hold Myself In Line/ JOE ELY: White Line Fever/ ROSIE FLORES: My Own Kind Of Hat/ ROBERT EARL KEEN & THE SUNSHINE BOYS: Daddy Frank/ KATY MOFFATT: I Can't Be Myself/ TOM RUSSELL: They're Tearing The Labor Camps Down/ Tulare Dust/ BILLY JOE SHAVER: Ramblin' Fever/ BARRENCE WHITFIELD: Irma Jackson/ LUCINDA WILLIAMS: You Don't Have Very Far To Go/ STEVE YOUNG: Shopping For Dresses |

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | K-Tel 3795 | Country Drinking Songs | ● CD |
| 18 tracks, 52 minutes, very good Typical K-Tel style
collection featuring a barroom-full of classic drinking songs with
stereo remixing or enhancement. Pretty much all of these were big radio
hits and all will be familiar to any country fan over the age of 30. For
someone like me, this comp has the appeal of a bunch of great songs that
I grew up hearing on the radio and never hear on the radio anymore. Not
for the hardcore country collector looking for rare tracks. What I would
like to see from K-Tel or anybody would be a collection of drinking
songs only by Porter Wagoner; you could probably fill up a box set of
those. (JM) BOBBY BARE: Tequila Sheila/ JIM ED BROWN: Pop-A-Top/ BEN COLDER: Almost Persuaded # 2/ LEFTY FRIZZELL: If You've Got The Money (I've Got The Time)/ MERLE HAGGARD: I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink/ The Bottle Let Me Down/ TOM T. HALL: I Like Beer/ DAVID HOUSTON: Almost Persuaded/ ROGER MILLER: Dang Me/ WEBB PIERCE: There Stands The Glass/ RAY PRICE: City Lights/ TEX RITTER: Rye Whiskey/ JOHNNY RUSSELL: Rednecks, White Socks & Blue Ribbon Beer/ CAL SMITH: Country Bumpkin/ RED STEAGALL: Lone Star Beer & Bob Wills Music/ HANK THOMPSON: Smokey The Bar/ PORTER WAGONER: Skid Row Joe/ FARON YOUNG: Wine Me Up |

| 19 tracks - Bill Monroe, Merle Travis, Floyd Tillman,
hank Snow, etc. |

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | New West 6140 | The Imus Ranch Record | ● CD |
| 13 tracks, 49 min, highly recommended Say what you will about Don Imus and then pick this collection of veteran country-folk-rock singers and songwriters. Worth it just for the opening track of Patty Loveless putting her stamp on Stevie Nicks' Silver Springs. Same for Dwight Yoakam's take on Uncle Tupelo's Give Back The Key To My Heart. Same for Bekka Bramlett's >I>What Happened. Delbert McClinton does an admirable job on the Clapton fave Lay Down Sally, even if it doesn't take any chances. Lucinda Williams version of Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys seems like a natural fit. And John Hiatt, apparently trusted to write his own song, disappoints no one on Welfare Music, no doubt soon to be covered. As the story goes, Imus picked the songs and matched the singers to them, although it isn't clear why that matters. What is clear is that Big & Rich should have stayed the hell away from the Beastie Boys' You've Got To Fight For Your Right To Party. Little Richard singing I Ain't Never is another head scratcher. Not bad, just an odd choice all around. And somehow Willie Nelson brings all the beauty out of What A Difference A Day Makes, with an understated subtlety that only Wiilie Nelson has access do. And the profits all go "a working cattle ranch run by Don and Deirdre Imus, which hosts children who are afflicted with cancer or other serious blood diseases," so says the records label. (JC) |

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Proper BOX 75 | Swinging Hollywood Hillbilly Cowboys | ● CD |
| 4 CD box set, 114 tracks, essential This well-conceived 4-CD set anthologizes the country-and-western style that dominated juke-joint Wurlitzers between 1945 and 1950. Spawned in southern California dance halls, it took full advantage of newly available p.a. systems, placing vocalists front and center over a band's airtight, guitar-driven backbeat. Filled with instrumental breaks of dazzling virtuosity, this music was really more uptown than hoedown. Heavy on novelties, uptempo blues and boogies, it hastened the end of the classic Western swing era and inspired a future generation of honky-tonkers. Though Columbia, RCA Victor and Decca had a strong Los Angeles presence, much of this music was captured by feisty independent labels, few of which survived into the microgroove era. Disc One focuses on music from these labels, including classic tracks by Arkie Shibley (Hot Rod Race), Jimmy Walker (Detour/ High Geared Daddy), Merl Lindsay (Shimmy Shakin' Daddy), Luke Wills (Four or Five Times), Merle Travis (Hominy Grits/ I Used to Work in Chicago), Jimmy Dolan (Tennessee Baby), Maddox Brothers & Rose (Sally Let Your Bangs Hang Down), Porky Freeman Trio (Boogie Woogie Boy) and many others. Betsy Gay's 1953 cut of Leiber & Stoller's Hound Dog is a fascinating curio. Disc Two covers tracks released by Capitol, the era's only West Coast indie to reach major-label status. Artists surveyed here include Cliffie Stone, Eddie Kirk, Wesley Tuttle, Speedy West & Jimmy Bryant, Jack Guthrie, Tex Williams, Merrill Moore, Gene O'Quinn, Roy Hogsed, Leon Chappel, Skeets McDonald, Red Murrell and others - few national hits here, but lots of great music. Disc Three is "Cowboy & Western," a catch-all category for sides by Bob Wills, Hank Penny, the Sons of the Pioneers, Smokey Rogers, Spade Cooley, Tex Ritter, Foy Willing and Tex Williams, among others. Disc Four is "The Hits" - shellac that coin-ops bought by the crateload. Many are familiar (Jack Guthrie's Oklahoma Hills; Hank Thompson's The Wild Side of Life and Whoa, Sailor; Jimmy Wakely's One Has My Name, The Other Has My Heart; Skeets McDonald's Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes), but others are not. Some might quibble that this disc uses Johnny Bond's Divorce Me C.O.D. and So Round, So Firm, So Fully Packed instead of Merle Travis's originals. But hey, Columbia sold tons of these covers and how often does Bond's music get reissued, anyway? The box includes a 64-page booklet with a discography and grammatically awkward but informative notes by Adam Komorowski. The sound quality varies from track to track but is generally superior to most Proper reissues. All in all, this is a great budget-priced sampler of a significant, transitional period in country music history. (DS) LES ANDERSON: And I Shook/ GENE AUTRY: I Wish I Had Never Met Sunshine/ Over And Over Again/ JOHNNY BOND: Divorce Me C.O.D./ So Round, So Firm, So Fully Packed/ Tennessee Saturday Night/ The Daughter Of Jole Blon/ JIMMY BRYANT: Jelly Beans Daddy/ JENKS (TEX) CARMAN: Hillbilly Hula/ LEON CHAPPEL: Streamlined Gal/ True Blue Papa/ ZEKE CLEMENTS: Oklahoma Blues/ SPADE COOLEY: Yodelling Polka/ TED DAFFAN'S TEXANS: Too Far Gone/ AL DEXTER: Honey Do You Think It's Wrong/ Triflin' Gal/ Wine Women And Song/ JIMMIE DOLAN: Tennessee Baby/ RAMBLIN' JIMMIE DOLAN: Hot Rod Race/ Juke Box Boogie/ TRUMAN DUFF: Rougue River Boogie/ TOMMY DUNCAN: Who Drank The Beer (While I Was In The Rear)/ PORKY FREEMAN: Boogie Woogie Boy/ BETSY GAY: Hound Dog/ HOMINY GRITS: Tem Martin/ JACK GUTHRIE: No Need To Knock On My Door/ Oklahoma Hills/ JOHNNY HICKS: Hamburger Hop/ BUDD HOBBS: Lazy Mary/ ROY HOGSED: Cocaine Blues/ Put Some Sugar In Your Shoes/ She's A Mean Mean Woman/ BILLY HUGHES BUCKAROOS: Take Your Hands Off It/ LEODIE JACKSON: Steelin' The Blues/ ANN JONES: Baby Sitter's Blues/ OAKIE JONES: Love Fever/ BRAD KING: You Ain't Got My Number Anymore/ EDDIE KIRK: Saturday Night Time Blues/ Sugar Baby/ The Gods Were Angry With Me/ MERL LINDSAY: Shimmy Shakin' Daddy/ THE MADDOX BROS & ROSE: I Wish I Was A Single Girl Again/ Sally Let Your Bangs Hang Down/ KEN MARVIN: Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me/ LEON MCAULIFFE: Take It Away Leon/ SKEETS MCDONALD: Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes/ Scoot Git And Begone/ MERRILL E.

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Righteous PSALM 23:38 | Radiogram - 24 Songs That Inspired Gram Parsons | ● CD |
| 24 tracks, 61 min., highly recommended The organizing premise, that Gram Parsons probably heard and was inspired by these songs when he was but a lad in Waycross, Geogia, listening to the radio, is a bit thin, even if he did cover some of these eventually. But so what? The music is so good that any excuse to have created this collection is valid and welcome. From Dim Lights, Thick Smoke by Flatt & Scruggs to Hearts In My Dream by George Jones to The Christian Life by the Louvin Brothers to Down The Valley Of The Shadow by the Bailes Brothers to Please Don't Take Her From Me by Buck Owens to I Can't Control My Heart by Hank Snow, it's all top shelf, all black label. The sound is excellent, the booklet notes minimal. Other artists include Bradley Kincaid, Skeeter Davis, Harry Coates, Lefty Frizell, Tibby Edwards, Red Hayes, Harry and Jeanie West, Leon Payne, Frankie Miller, and more. Why wait? (JC) |

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Smithsonian Folkways 40160 | Friends Of Old Time Music - The Folk Arrival, 1961-65 | ● CD |
| 3 CD box set, 55 tracks, 163 mins, essential Imagine being able to attend a series of concerts featuring such artists as Doc Watson, Fred McDowell, Maybelle Carter, Hobart Smith, Roscoe Holcomb, The Stanley Brothers, Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys, Dock Boggs, Jesse Fuller, Bessie Jones & The Georgia Sea Island Singers, Mississippi John Hurts and Joseph Spence - are you in heaven? No, New York in the early 60s thanks to the efforts of The Friends Of Old Time Music founded by Ralph Rinzler, John Cohen and Israel Young who put on a series of 14 concerts between 1961 and 1965 presenting these and numerous other great traditional performers - many of them appearing before a city audience for the first time. Fortunately for us many of these concerts were recorded by Peter K. Siegel who selected 55 performances for this magnificent box set - most of them never before issued. The artists are all at the peak of their powers and this set features one glorious performance after another. Sound quality is outstanding and the set is housed in a handsome 12x6" box with 60 page 12x6" book with extensive notes on the organization, the concerts and a discussion of each performance and is crammed with photos and reproductions of the concert posters. A real gift to traditional music lovers from Smithsonian Folkways.

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Time Life 19493 | Classic Bluegrass Collection | ● CD |
| 3 CDs, 60 tracks, 2 hours 55 min., recommended A nice overview of the development of bluegrass, beginning, unsurprisingly, with Bill Monroe And His Blue Grass Boys' 1948 recording of It's Mighty Dark To Travel for Columbia Records and ending (chronologically at least) with cuts recorded in 2001 by Rhonda Vincent, Ricky Skaggs, and Patty Loveless. The music is drawn from the Columbia, King, RCA, Starday, Capitol, Epic, United Artists, Elektra, Decca, Mercury, MGM, Dot, Warner Bros., Rebel, Copper Creek, Rounder, Skaggs Family, and Sugar Hill labels, and nearly a third of the tracks are from the bluegrass golden age of the 1950s. Not to be missed classics include the Osborne Brothers' high lonesome Ruby, Are You Mad At Your Man (1956), Bill Monroe And His Blue Grass Boys' landmark Blue Moon Of Kentucky (1954), Lester Flat & Earl Scruggs & The Foggy Mountain Boys' oft imitated Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms (1951), and much more. In general, this collection concentrates on the big named musicians (Louvin Brothers, Ricky Skaggs, Stanley Brothers, Mac Wiseman, Del McCoury, Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, The Country Gentleman, Jimmy Martin, Reno & Smiley, and such). So while there's plenty of incredible bluegrass here with admirable sound quality, there's not much in the obscure-but-wonderful category. Probably not a legitimate complaint, although the short running time is (it could have easily been a 4-disc set or the 3 discs could have together held another 30 to 40 minutes). The 24-page booklet is adequate if uninspired. A great introduction to the musical form or a good way to gather some of the music's finer moments.

| VARIOUS ARTISTS | Time Life 19515 | Sing Me A Hank Williams Song | ● CD |
| 2 CDs, 30 tracks, 75 mins, highly recommended During Hank Williams's all too brief career (only about 6 years,) he wrote approximately 100 songs, recorded 66 of them, and had hits with 37 of those. It's pretty mind-blowing when you think of what he could have done if he made it past 29 years old. His contribution to the American songbook is certainly great; his contribution to the world of music is even greater. Although known all over the world, with all kinds of artists who have covered his songs, this fine two CD collection captures those closest to the tree, 27 great Country music artists (George Jones, Marty Robbins, and Charlie Pride are all here twice) show their love and the influence of the one and only Hank Williams. Many of the tracks compiled here were just as big, or bigger, hits in their cover versions as were the originals. From Porter Wagoner with Settin' The Woods On Fire, to You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave) by Emmylou Harris, from Earnest Tubb To Elvis Presley -- any way you slice it, it's all great. Some of the tracks here have a special place for me, like the Browns cover of Mansion On The Hill, Willie Nelson doing Cold, Cold Heart, and Charley Pride's version of Kaw-Liga, all hit me that much deeper. So you get the basic formula: great artists doing great material. You can't miss, plus you also get a Hank Williams Jr. track.
