5000 Miles Away From Home - Nashville Stars in Germany, 1957 BCD 16491- AH
At the height of the Cold War, there were hundreds of thousands of American troops stationed overseas, many of them in Germany. The USO arranged tours to boost the morale
of troops stationed far from home, and in 1957 it contracted with RCA for almost the entire Nashville roster to go on a tour of Germany. The troupe included the Browns, Hank Locklin,
Janis Martin, Jim Reeves, and Del Wood. The AFN taped one of the performances, and the result is a fascinating document. We hear Jim Reeves singing Courtin’ In The Rain, a song he
was not otherwise known to have recorded, as well as Have I Told You Lately That I Love You. We also hear the Browns sing It Takes A Long Red Train With A Red Caboose,
Hank Locklin reprise It Takes A Good Woman’s Love, and Tommy Hill sings (what else?) Fraulein. Janis Martin does a storming version of I’m Walkin’. Add a few instrumentals and it
becomes a fascinating little time capsule. Travel was far more difficult in those days, and there was the ever-present threat of War. Against that background, we hear a group of
country singers five thousand miles from home entertaining their fellow countrymen, and helping to bring country music to Europe.

MEMORIES OF JIMMIE RODGERS BCD 15938- AH
Jimmie Rodgers inspired countless musicians to try to imitate his distinctive song stylings. Gene Autry, Jimmie Davis, Cliff Carlisle, Red Foley and Stuart Hamblen were only a few of
those who did. With Rodgers' death on May 26, 1933, a series of tribute songs began to unfold. Whether inspired by genuine desire to show respect for the man who would become
known as the 'Father of Country Music', or merely by a desire to cash in on a potential commercial bonanza, or some strange combination of both, the tributes speak eloquently of
the man and his music. Singers like Bradley Kincaid and radio stars Asher and Little Jimmie Sizemore, whose musical debts to Rodgers were minimal, were joined by those like Autry
and Dwight Butcher, who were fans and, frankly, Rodgers imitators, in paying their musical respects over the next several years. Also among them were W. Lee O'Daniels Light Crust
Doughboys, with an eloquent vocal by Leon Huff, WLS star Kenneth Houchins, who faithfully captures the Rodgers sound. Even Rodgers' widow and her protégé, Ernest Tubb,
recorded their own tributes, with several of them written by Rodgers' sister-in-law and longtime song source, Elsie McWilliams.
In May 1953, twenty years after Rodgers' death, Tubb and another Rodgers devotee, Hank Snow, helped establish the Jimmie Rodgers Day celebrations as an annual event in Rodgers'
hometown, Meridian, Mississippi. The entertainment for the dinner program at the 1957 celebration was provided by Tubb, Snow, the Wilburn Brothers and Jim Reeves. Collector
Eugene Earle captured the evening's entertainment on tape. Now, another forty years later, it is available, mostly for the first time, together with some of the best of the contemporary
tributes to Jimmie Rodgers.

ROCKIN’ AND BOPPIN’ IN THE DESERT ARIZONA ROCKABILLY, VOL. 1 BCD 16230 -AR
Located in the middle of a state known mostly for copper, citrus, cotton and the Grand Canyon, Phoenix, Arizona, was in a period of transition. In the 1950s, eletronics overtook its
industry; Republicans swamped its politics and rock ‘n’ roll upturned its prodigious country and western scene. The small but fast-growing Phoenix was an unlikely candidate for status
as the Memphis of the Southwest, but during the city’s golden age of 1955-1961 a small but prolific group of local record labels and recording studios produced some of the most
memorable and enduring music of all time.
‘Rockin’ And Boppin’ In The Desert’ brings the best records from that period together in one wild package, featuring rare and collectable tracks from Al Casey, Don Cole, Rusty
Isabell, Gene Maltais, Jack Lane, Loy Clingman, Jimmy Dell, Joe D. Johnson, Rio Rockers and many more. This is the first package of Phoenix rockers and boppers and a great
introduction to Arizona’s overlooked musical history. 30 songs by 30 singers, many on CD for the first time, make this Bear Family release a must for all you music fanatics out there.

Sentimental Journey, Vol. 3 --- Last Train To San Fernando BCD 16443 AR
For most of the last two centuries, trains have been the most important means of
transportation. In Germany the TV series 'Eisenbahn-Romantik' has been broadcast for almost two decades now. For those who haven’t seen it, it’s a cult program that runs to
around 460 episodes. Since the dawn of the railroad era there have been songs about trains, and Bear Family has already released two CDs covering this theme. Now there's a brand
-new CD, 'Last Train To San Fernando,' including many excellent rock 'n’'roll tracks, some of which haven't been heard for ages. Other tracks have been culled from the vaults and are
available once more for the delectation of serious collectors. Of course, this is not the end of the line – so, all aboard!

SHAKIN’ UP NORTH - CANADIAN ROCKABILLY, VOL. 1 BCD 16289 -AR
Canada....home of snow, ice hockey, maple syrup, cod wars, Shania Twain ...and rock ‘n’ roll! Yes, the same megawatt stations that pumped early rock and R&B into the heart of the
United States also pumped it into Canada, which is hardly surprising as 90 per cent of the Canadian population lives within 50 miles of the American border. Canadians were rocking
and rolling from the beginning, except no one outside Canada knew about it until now. Canadian rock ‘n’ roll expert Wayne Russell assembled this 30 track compilation of the
coolest rock ‘n’ roll from the coldest place on earth. The names may be unfamiliar, but this is authentic pedal-to-the-metal, slam-bam rock ‘n’ roll, as good as anything you’ll hear from
anywhere else. Canada...rock ‘n’ roll’s last frontier! Titles include: Goin’ To Memphis, She’s A Square, Rock And Roll Riot, and more below.

HANK WILLIAMS: SONGWRITER...TO...LEGEND BCD 16286-AH
Here’s the ultimate Hank Williams collectors’ item timed to coincide with what would have been his 75th birthday. Throughout his life, Hank pitched songs to other artists that he never
recorded himself. Now, for the first time, here are 17 songs that Hank wrote but never recorded commercially performed by the artists who originally recorded them.
These are the rarest of all Hank’s songs, and they include Rosco Hankins performing Hank’s very first published song from 1943, I’m Praying For The Day When Peace Will Come;
Hank’s Alabama bandmember Braxton Shooford performing a song they wrote together, Rockin’ Chair Daddy; and Jimmie Davis singing two of the songs that he and Hank wrote
together, Bayou Pon-Pon and Forever Is A Long, Long Time. Also included are Rex Griffin’s rarely heard version of Lovesick Blues that Hank copied note-for-note, and 12
Hank Williams tribute songs recorded in the years immediately after his death, by such artists as Johnnie & Jack, Ernest Tubb, the Cochran Brothers, Marvin Rainwater, and Jimmie Skinner.

Various Artists Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer CD DIGIPAC BCD 16718 AR
It is one of the most familiar songs in all American music, and among the Top 20 all-time earners in the American record business. It has been a hit for Gene Autry, The Chipmunks,
The Temptations, The Melodeers, Spike Jones, and Bing Crosby, and it has been recorded by literally hundreds of others. The story began in 1939 when the Montgomery Ward retail
store chain wanted to give away a story book to its customers at Christmas, and assigned the job to Robert L. May. Ten years later, May's brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, wrote a song
about May's creation, and it was an instantaneous smash. Perhaps the last great Christmas classic!Now it receives the deluxe treatment: the hit, the sequels, foreign versions, a sampling
of other versions by artists as diverse as Perry Como, Johnny Horton, and the Cadillacs. 30 songs, the full story, and a cartoon by famous German cartoonist Ole Könnecke.
