CHRIS HILLMAN
& HERB PEDERSON |
Sugar Hill 3850 |
Bakersfield Bound |
● CD $11.98 |
13 tracks, 35 min; recommended
Two longtime stalwarts of the
southern California bluegrass/ progressive country scene bow toward
Bakersfield on this beautiful new album, which features the exquisite
harmonizing of the pair, honed during their years as members of the Desert
Rose Band. Herb Pedersen is widely known as one of the finest harmony
singers extant and mandolinist Chris Hillman's been in such creative and
influential bands as The Byrds, The Burritos, and the aforementioned Desert Rose, and has one of the finest lead singing voices in the
business. The duo apply themselves to several Bakersfield Sound standards
here to excellent effect, including Playboy (one of Wynn Stewart's
finest recordings), two by Buck Owens (including the little known but
wonderful There Goes My Love), Leon Payne's Lost Highway,
Hank Cochran's It's Not Love (But It's Not Bad), the bluegrass
standard Congratulations, Boudleaux and Felice Bryant's classic Brand
New Heartache, two originals by Hillman, and more. The Bakersfield
Sound is enhanced by the work of fellow Desert Rose member Jay Dee Manesss
on steel guitar, Gabe Witcher on fiddle, and others. A nice melding of the
honkytonk ethos, Bakersfield twang, and aching bluegrass harmonies. (RP)

THE HILLMEN |
Sugar Hill 3719 |
The Hillmen |
● CD $11.98 |
15 tracks, 40 min; recommended
I don't know why I'm
surprised at how well these recordings, made in 1963 and 1964, hold up.
Banjo player Don Parmley, after all, grew up in Kentucky, and later went
on to lead the highly influential and popular Bluegrass Cardinals, and
Alabamans Vern and Rex Gosdin have certainly left their marks on country
music, Rex as a writer and Vern as a hugely successful mainstream country
artist. Originally called The Golden State Boys, the band became The
Hillmen when young southern California mandolinist Chris Hillman, later to
make his mark with such progressive country and country/rock groups as The
Byrds, The Burrito Brothers, and The Desert Rose Band, joined the group.
Contemporaries of the legendary Kentucky Colonels in the bluegrass and
burgeoning southern California folk scene of the time, The Hillmen
distinguished themselves from that group by including many more "
folk" derived numbers in their repertoire. Included on this CD
reissue of their only album are two Bob Dylan songs, one from Woody
Guthrie copyright and one by Pete Seeger as well as bluegrass arrangements
of such by then common folk festival fare as Barbara Allen/ Fair and
Tender Ladies and Copper Kettle. There are also four Gosdin
Bros. originals. The close harmony singing is outstanding (mostly trios
featuring The Gosdins and Parmley; Hillman sings lead on Dylan's When The
Ship Comes In), and the instrumental work is uniformly fine. Enjoyable
look at early southern California bluegrass or the progressive country
sound in evolution. (RP)

THE HODGES BROTHERS |
Arhoolie 9037 |
Bogue Chitto Flingding - Old Time
Mississippi Country M |
● CD $9.98 |
21 tracks, 50 mins, recommended
Delightful collection of old
time country music recorded in the 60s by these three brothers from Bogue
Chitto, Mississippi. This is a reissue of Arhoolie 5001 from 1971 with six
bonus tracks - five previously unissued performances and one side of one of
their Trumpet Records from 1951. The group consisted of Felix on fiddle and
vocals, Ralph on guitar, mandolin and vocals and James on rhythm guitar with
John White providing string bass and occasional vocals. The perform and mix
of popular traditional songs and tunes (Bile Dem Cabbage Down/ Banks Of
The Ohio/ Ida Red, etc as well as less familiar local songs and tunes (Mississippi
Baby/ Bogue Chitto Waltz, etc). The performances are not particularly
polished but do have a lot of charm and are well worth a listen. (FS)

ROY HOGSED |

33 tracks recorded for Capitol and Coast between 1947 and
1953 including half a dozen previously unissued.

ROY HOGSED |
Bronco Buster 9004 |
Snake Dance Boogie |
● CD $18.98 |
16 tracks, 36 min., recommended
Western Swing/Hillbilly
music recorded from 1950 to 1954, that's what you've got here. Roy Hogshed
was a somewhat obscure artist and I don't think any of these songs songs
were hits. But they're full of fun, with plenty of accordion, fiddle and
guitar. That combination of fun and swing that seems to have been so
plentiful in the country music of the West Coast in the early 50's can be
found all over this CD. The title cut along with Babies and Bacon, Shuffleboard
Shuffle, Put Some Sugar In Your Shoes ...... they just don't
write 'em like that anymore. As usual, Bronco Buster provides interesting
but incomplete information on the artist, on the other hand, they are
making the music available. (RS)
ROY HOGSED: Babies and Bacon/ Do You Call That a Sweetheart?/ Don't Bite
the Hand That's Feeding You/ I'm Gonna Get along Without You/ I'm Hurtin'
Again/ Let Your Pendulum Swing/ Mean; Mean Woman/ Poco Tempo (Inst.)/ Put

ROSCOE HOLCOMB |
Smithsonian Folkways 40104 |
The High Lonesome Sound |
● CD $16.98 |
21 tracks, 71 mins, essential
Many great traditional
musicians were discovered in the late 50s and 60s but a few stand out
above the rest - Roscoe Holcomb, discovered by John Cohen in Daisy,
Kentucky in 1959, is just such a person. He was a superb singer, banjo
player and guitarist with a high, intense vocal style that is drenched
with emotion. His music was steeped in blues, traditional ballads and the Baptist
church and carries an emotional charge that has few parallels -
Robert Johnson is one that springs to mind! This wonderful collection
features all the aspects of his diverse repertoire originally issued 3
Folkways LPs in the 60s and 70s and makes for spellbinding listening. His
singing frequently sends shivers down my spine it is so affecting. The 24
page booklet includes detailed, informative and affectionate notes from
Cohen along with some wonderful photos. If you love traditional music this
is a must. (FS)

ROSCOE HOLCOMB |
Smithsonian Folkways 40144 |
An Untamed Sense Of Control |
● CD $15.98 |
26 tracks, 74 mins, essential
Roscoe Holcomb is a wonder!
One of the greatest of all traditional singers his incredible high and
intense voice never fails to send shivers down my spine. He was also a
magnificent musician on the guitar and banjo and, as this collection shows,
he was also adept on fiddle and harmonica. This second collection of his
recordings (his first on Smithsonian Folkways 40104 is also essential) is
mostly drawn from his three Folkways albums issued between 1961 and 1972 but
also includes some unissued tracks including several from a 1973 live
concert. Roscoe's repertoire embraced old time songs, traditional ballads,
blues, Baptist hymns, popular songs and more - all performed with Roscoe's
"untamed sense of control" as Bob Dylan so aptly put it. Songs and tunes
include Swanno Mountain/ Graveyard Blues/ Born And Raised In Covington
(an incredible unaccompanied vocal) Barbara Allen Blues (an harmonica
instrumental)/Rock Island Prison/ Combs Hotel Burned Down/ The Hills Of
Mexico/ Mississippi Heavy Water Blues/ Train That Carried My Girl From Town/
Milk Cow Blues (a blues banjo instrumental!)/ Darling Corey/Sitting
On Top Of The World/ Foggy Mountain Top/ Fair Miss In The Garden and
more. 24 page booklet has beautiful photos and extensive and insightful
notes from Roscoe's discoverer John Cohen whose life was changed by Roscoe
and his music - it might very well have the same effect on you. (FS)

HOMER & JETHRO |
B.A.C.M. 043 |
Ground Hog |
● CD $14.98 |
25 tracks, 71 tracks, highly recommended Great collection
featuring all but one of the tracks recorded by this fine comedic duo for
King in 1947. Featuring vocal and guitar from Henry "Homer" Haynes and vocal
and stunning mandolin playing from Kenneth "Jethro" Burns they perform
traditional songs (Boll Weevil/ Poor Little Liza Poor Girl/ Ground Hog,
etc), twisted version of Tin Pan Alley Songs (Margie/ Five Minutes More/
Night And Day/ I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now/ Glow Worm, etc) and a few
originals (I Brusied Her Somewhat/ Goodbye Old Booze/ All Night Long,
etc. Sound is generally excellent and there are brief notes by Brian Golbey.

Razor & Tie 2130 |
America's Song Butchers : The Weird World Of
Homer & Je |
● CD $16.98 |
20 tracks, essential
The set begins with Tennessee Border
No. 2, and moves to their hit version of the pop hit Baby It's Cold
Outside with June Carter. Their best-known numbers included novelties
like The Billboard Song, but most were parodies of country hits,
including I'm Movin' On No, 2, Don't Let The Stars Get In Your
Eyeballs, Sixteen Tons and The Battle of Kookamonga (a
spoof of Battle of New Orleans). They also demolished such pop hits
as You Belong To Me, a pop hit for Jo Stafford, Mister Sandman,
Hart-Brake Motel, (Heartbreak Hotel), Let Me Go, Blubber,
(Let Me Go, Lover), I Want to Hold Your Hand and Misty,
with an arrangement that clearly influenced Ray Stevens' 1975 hit version.
One never-issued number is included: the novelty She Was Bitten On the
Udder By An Adder. Homer & Jethro authority Dave Samuelson
compiled the collection and wrote excellent notes based on his research
and longstanding friendship with Jethro Burns. Now, all we need is Bear
Family to reissue their instrumental LPs "Playing it Straight"
and "It Ain't Necessarily Square" on one CD. (RK)

THE HOOSIER HOT SHOTS |
Proper BOX 63 |
Everybody Stomp |
● CD $26.98 |
4 discs,100 tracks, essential
Are you ready Hezzie? This
quartet spent decades combining Dixieland jazz, stomp, country & pure hokum,
mainly for the radio audience where they were huge, but they also managed to
put out quite a lot of recordings which, though never huge sellers were very
influential - Spike Jones's City Slickers started years later & included
many tunes from the Hoosier's repertory. Started by brothers Paul "Hezzie"
Trietsch on washboard & slide whistle, & Ken Triesch - guitar, joined by
Gabe Ward on clarinet & Frank Kettering on bass. With weekly exposure on The
National Barn Dance, the boys had no problems getting recording contracts -
here we have tunes from Banner/Conqueror/Vocalion & later on Okeh & Decca, +
a rare V-disc. Also a 36 page booklet. Meet Me By The Ice House Lizzie/ I
Like Bananas Because They Have No Bones/ The Girl Friend Of The Whirlin'
Dervish/ From The Indies To The Andes In His Undies/ Connie's Got
Connections In Connecticut/ When There's A Tear In The Eyes Of A Potato
as well as more "normal" fare like Down In The Valley/ You're Driving Me
Crazy/ I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate/ Wabash Blues/ Swanee/ St.
Louis Blues/Divorce Me C.O.D., etc. (GM)

JOHNNY HORTON |
Bear Family BCD 15543 |
Rockin' Rollin' Johnny Horton |
● CD $21.98 |
20 of his more rockin' 1950s Columbia recordings - most of
these were previously reissued on Bear Family LP BFX 15069 but this
includes some extra tracks including previously unissued versions of Got
The Bull By The Horns and Ole Slewfoot. Also includes I'm A
One Woman Man/ I'm Ready, If You're Willing/ I Don't Like I Did/ Honky
Tonk Mind/ Let's Take The Long Way Home/ Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor/ All
Grown Up/ Cherokee Boogie/ Sal's Got A Sugar Lip/ The Electrified Donkey
and others. Many of these were attempts to cross country and rockabilly
and they succeeded quite respectably. The original Honky Tonk Man,
a big hit for Dwight Yoakam in 1986, is also here. Musicians include Grady
Martin, whose piercing lead guitar was the perfect foil for Horton's
voice.

JOHNNY HORTON |
Bear Family BCD 16258 |
The Early Years |
● CD $99.98 |
CD reissue of LP box set 15289. 4 CD set covers all Horton's
early recordings for Cormac in 1951, Abbott in 1951-52 Mercury from
1952-54 and 31 demo recordings he made in the early fifties plus some Dot
and Briar sides.

JOHNNY HORTON |
Columbia CK 40665 |
Greatest Hits |
● CD $9.98 |
Without question, Johnny Horton's greatest successes came in
the four years he spent with Columbia, ranging from his early
rockabilly-flavored hits like Honky Tonk Man to his "saga
song" hits like Battle of New Orleans and North To Alaska
. This set brings it all together, and is essntial to understanding one of
the most gifted singers of his generation. (

JOHNNY HORTON |
Columbia CK 64761 |
Honky Tonk Man - The Essential John Horton |
● CD $19.98 |
2 discs, 36 tracks, 84 min., recommended
If the Bear Family
Horton boxed set is too much for either your budget or your appetite, this
spiffy two disc set from Columbia, covering the years 1956 to 1960, just
might do the trick. It begins with numbers that lean in the direction of
rockabilly and ends with the "saga songs" that finally
catapulted this veteran performer to fame. In between, there are even a
few romantic ballads. My one quibble, however, is that several of my
favorite Horton songs, such as All for the Love of a Girl, are not
here. And with each disc under 45 minutes long, such omissions seem
downright parsimonious. Oh well. Disc one, entirely monaural, includes the
title track, I'm a One Woman Man, I Don't Like I Did (Before),
I'm Coming Home, The Woman I Need (Honky Tonk Mind), I'll
Do It Every Time, Lover's Rock, The Wild One,
and Hot in the Sugarcane
Field.
And disc two, entirely stereo, includes When It's Springtime in
Alaska (It's Forty Below), The Battle of New Orleans, Cherokee Boogie,
Words, Johnny Reb, Sink the Bismark, The Mansion You Stole,
and North to
Alaska.
Otherwise, sound quality is solid, and the liner notes by Colin
Escott are brief but informative. (DH)

THE HOT CLUB OF COWTOWN |
Hightone 8094 |
Swingin' Stampede |
● CD $14.98 |
14 tracks, 38 mins, recommended Debut release from this
Austin threesome that blends Western Swing with Le Jazz Hot. Excellent
musicianship to pull this off successfully off and the Hot Club delivers.
Elana Fremerman on fiddle is a standout but Whit Smith on guitar and Billy
Horton on bass more than hold up their end as well. The cuts range from
vigorous and skillfully played instrumentals like Snowflake Reel
and the Djangoesque Somebody Loves Me to Bob Wills covers My
Confession and Ida Red. Various guests like Johnny Gimble and
Jeremy Wakefield make appearences but the trio carries the music. At times
the singing is a little weak but the enthusiasm that the band has for
their music is evident throughout and the instrumental work is excellent!

B.A.C.M. 126 |
The Texas Song Bird - The Early Years,
Vol. 1 |
● CD $14.98 |
25 tracks, 70 mins, recommended
First of two volumes
featuring recordings with the outstanding country vocalist Leon HUff.
Although he never recorded under his own name he was vocalist with several
great Western Swing Bands including W.Lee O'Daniel's Light Crust Doughboys
& Hillbilly Boys, Bob Wills & His Texas PLayboys, Johnny Lee Wills & His
Boys and others. Huff's earliest sides from 1933 with the Light Crust
Doughboys are available on Origin Jazz 1003 ("Western Swing Chronicles -
W. Lee O'Daniel" - $16.98) and this CD opens with one track with The
Doughboys and continues with six tracks from 1935 through 1937 with
O'Daniel's Hillbilly Boys. There are 13 tracks from 1939 radio
transcriptions by essentially the same group led by W. Lee's son Pat -
these tracks find Leon as a pop crooner with quite a few of the songs
being pop standards (And The Angels Sing/ Chapel In The Moonlight/ Red
Sails In The Sunset, etc) with fairly lethargic accompanied. There are
three fine sides from 1940 radio transcriptions featuring Leon with Jerry
Sadler's Cowboy Stringsters with Cliff Bruner/ fiddle, Kermit Whalen/
steel guitar and floyd Tillman/ bass. From 1941 is some more crooning on
Little Star Of Heaven with Charlie Mitchell & His Orchestra and the
set ends with the fine Ten Years from 1942 with Bob Wills & the
Texas Playboys. Sound quality is generally decent tough the radio
transcriptions have too much digital noise reduction. Excellent notes by
Kevin Coffey. (FS)

Baby Cry/ Music Maestro Please/ My Buddy/ Old Gray Mare/ Red Sails In The

The Texas Song Bird - The Early Years,

● CD $14.98 |
24 tracks, 65 mins, recommended
24 more fine sides with
most of the same groups except instead of Bob Wills the set ends with a
1947 track with Johnnie Lee Wills and the Boys. Again there are rather too
many bland pop style offerings with Pat O'Daniel's group - these are not
bad, just somewhat dull though the uptempo numbers like There'll Be
Some Changes Made are hot. There are another couple of splendid sides
with Jerry Sadler's Cowboy Stringsters. I think they could have condensed
two albums into one by leaving out many of the Pat O'Daniel sides and the
rest would have been a killer. (FS).

1946 |
● CD $16.98 |
32 tracks from radio transcriptions made in 1946 featuring
this fine Western Swing band led by former Bob Wills sideman - singer/
guitarist Harley Huggins and including several other Wills alumni like
Junior Barnard, Alex Brashear, Mancel Tierney and others. Includes a wide
variety of material - I Got Rhythm/ Shine/ At the Darktown Strutters

THE CORNELL HURD BAND |
Behemoth 1006 |
Cool & Unusual Punishment |
● CD $16.98 |
24 tracks, 54 minutes, good
This Austin based band would
seem to have a lot going for it on this recording. Johnny Bush and ex
Asleep at the Wheelers Lucky Oceans and Chris O'Connell are guests and the
material is a mix of honky tonk classics like Driving Nails in My
Coffin and original tunes. Unfortunately what you get is somewhat less
than the sum of these parts. The playing of many of the individuals here
is fine, especially Lucky Oceans' work on pedal steel, but perhaps due to
the high number of guest stars there is a lack of cohesion and tightness.
The lead vocals by Cornell Hurd sound flat and uninspired. Many of the
original tunes are fine, especially Seven Cups of Coffee and 14
Cigarettes and I Don't Care What It is That You Did When You Lived
In Ft. Worth. However, much of the rest of the material is below par.
The tracks include several brief passages of studio chatter that add
nothing to the overall effect. (DP)

FERLIN HUSKY AS
TERRY PRESTON |
B.A.C.M. 045 |
Tennessee Hillbilly Ghost |
● CD $14.98 |
24 tracks, 62 mins, recommended A fine collection of some of
Ferlin's earliest recordings from the early 50s before he achieved
pop-country fame and is straight honky tonk country with few of the vocal
mannerisms that would mar some of his later recordings. Ferlin is
accompanied by a fine band including Speedy West on guitar. This set
includes his first recording from 1952 of Smokey Rogers' fine song Gone
which went nowhere at the time but became a number one country hit when he
re-recorded it in 1957. (FS)
FERLIN HUSKY: Cotton Pickin' Heart/ Counting My Heartaches/ Cross Eyed Gal

FERLIN HUSKY |
Jasmine 3504 |
Feelin' Better All Over |
● CD $11.98 |
Another collection of sides from radio shows this time
featuring Ferlin Husky along with several by his comic alter ego Simon
Crum. It includes live versions of a couple of his big hits from the 50s I
Feel Better All Over (More Than Anywhere's Else) and Gone plus
sides like If You Be My Baby/ Missing persons/ I Couldn't Treat A Dog
Like You're Treating Me/ Don't Walk Away From Me/ The Kingdom Of Love
and others. The Simon Crum sides will appeal to those who like Crum's
persona.
