CHET ATKINS
Mr. Guitar, The Complete Recordings 1955 - 1960

7-CD BOX-SET (LP-size) with 112-page hardcover book
BCD 16539 GK

In 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.'

GENE AUTRY
That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine

9-CD Boxset (LP-Size) with xx-page hardcover book
BCD 15944-IL

Very few people know that Gene Autry....America’s beloved Singing Cowboy, began his career as the writer and performer of authentic white country blues. While working as a telegrapher for the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad - the Frisco Line - he used a railroad pass to travel to New York in 1929, hoping to follow his dream of competing with the top pop singers of the day. Instead, on the advice of Frankie and Johnny Marvin, and legendary producer Arthur Satherley, Autry used his talent to emulate Jimmie Rodgers. No other performer caught the essence of Jimmie Rodgers as Autry did. He could match Rodgers' yodel, Mississippi dialect and guitar runs so closely that it was often hard to tell the two apart. Yet, as he performed more and more original songs in the Rodgers style, he began to develop a sound of his own.

Producing records for a variety of labels such as Gennett, Victor, and Columbia, as well as various low budget labels ('dime-store platters') owned by ARC, Gene sold lots of records during the Depression when people could least afford to buy them. In the early 1930s, Gene with the guidance of his mentor Jimmy Long and Art Satherley, moved from blues to the more traditional hillbilly music of the time. His duet with Long on the mountain ballad That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine, recorded in October of 1931, became a million-selling record. Quickly following that success with other songs, such as My Old Pal Of Yesterday, Missouri Is Calling, The Little Ranch House On The Old Circle B. and Louisiana Moon, Gene went on to transform himself into America’s preeminent singing cowboy.

With the 225 songs on this 9 CD box, Bear Family Records brings together all of the surviving recordings from 1929 - 1933 for the first time ever. Most of these songs have never been on CD, and many have not been available in any form since their original release 75 years ago, including more than 20 songs that are issued here for the first time. The hardcover book contains an essay by Packy Smith, a discography by Tony Russell, and many rare pictures and illustrations.
