CHARLIE WALKER
PICK ME UP ON YOUR WAY DOWN
5-CD Box & BOOK
BCD 15852- EI
The hillbilly shuffle and the honky tonk song are still the cornerstones of real country music. Some pioneers, like Ray Price, are getting their due these days, but others, like Charlie
Walker, tend to be overlooked. The facts are these: Charlie’s early hits, like Who Will Buy The Wine, Pick Me Up On Your Way Down, Wild As A Wildcat, and Little Ol’
Winedrinker Me are simply as good as it gets when it comes to heartbreakin’, cheatin’, beerhall country music and state-of-the-art hillbilly shuffles.
The 154 sides represented in this five-CD collection chronicle the development of Charlie Walker’s style from his earliest recordings in 1952 for Imperial Records to his classic sides
for Columbia and Epic Records. The enclosed 40-page book includes a newly researched biography by Chris Skinker and many unpublished photos from Charlie’s personal collection.

THE WEAVERS
Goodnight Irene The Weavers 1949 - 1953
4 CD/1DVD Boxed Set (LP-size) with xxx Page-Hardcover-Book
BCD 15930- EK
With its 1950 recording of Goodnight Irene, the Weavers brought folk music to the ‘American Hit Parade.’ The public immediately responded to the song’s catchy melody and
Gordon Jenkins’ lush arrangement. But the quartet’s dynamic, passionate vocals was what really made the record stand apart from everything else in pop music. No one could escape
the song or its popular flip side, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena. Juke boxes and radio stations kept both songs in constant rotation, and record sales snowballed into the millions. During the next
eighteen months the Weavers dominated the charts with such folk anthems as So Long (It’s Been Good To Know You), The Roving Kind, On Top Of Old Smokey and Kisses
Sweeter Than Wine. Suddenly, the creamy 1940s harmonies of the Pied Pipers, Six Hits and a Miss, the Merry Macs and the Modernaires seemed dated. Pop music would be different
in the 1950s, and the Weavers were among the first artists to signal this new era.
No one was more surprised by this rush of success than the Weavers themselves: Ronnie Gilbert, Lee Hays, Fred Hellerman and Pete Seeger. Emerging from the embers of the
postwar People’s Songs movement, the group polished its sound and repertoire at New York hootenannies, union halls and political rallies. An extended booking at the Village
Vanguard in early 1950 led to a friendship with arranger Gordon Jenkins, who convinced skeptical Decca Records executives to sign the quartet.
But the Weavers’ fortunes ultimately fell as quickly as they rose. Under the guise of patriotism, rightwing zealots gleefully exposed its leftist political affiliations. Through fear and
intimidation, organizations like the American Legion pressured promoters, bookers and media executives to boycott the group. Airplay disappeared and jobs dwindled, yet Seeger,
Hays, Gilbert and Hellerman persevered until they disbanded in 1953. However, the public’s affection for the group never waned. A barely advertised Christmas Eve 1955 reunion at
Carnegie Hall was an immediate sellout, and those who attended viewed their participation as a statement against rightwing hysteria.
A half-century after the release of Goodnight Irene, the Weavers remain one of the most beloved acts in American popular music. The group’s saga has spurred dissertations and
documentaries from historians and filmmakers. But ironically, those early records that helped shape the contemporary folk music revival have remained largely uncataloged and virtually impossible to find.
This 5-CD Bear Family collection surveys the first five years of the Weavers’ recording career, starting with the Charter and Hootenanny sessions from 1949, along with 16
previously unreleased audition acetates and WNYC airchecks. The complete Decca recordings and Snader soundtracks are included; the Deccas digitally transferred from the
original session reels. The rare 10" ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’ LP has been expanded with two previously unreleased carols. The last Disc contains the Weavers’
uncredited appearances on two documentaries, a children’s record and soundtrack recordings; Fred Hellerman’s and Ronnie Gilbert’s solo records; Gordon Jenkins’ 1955
attempt to recreate the Weavers’ sound with Hays, Hellerman and Sally Kaminsky; and a 1950 radio interview with Charles Buddy Rogers. Disc5 is a DVD containing the Weavers’
Snader telescriptions, newly transferred from original 16mm prints.

SPEEDY WEST & JIMMY BRYANT
FLAMIN´ GUITARS
LP-Size 4-CD Box with Book
BCD 15956-DI
45 years later, guitarist Billy Strange, who worked with some of the biggest names in rock, pop and country over those decades, remains in awe of country pedal steel pioneer Speedy
West and country jazz guitar genius Jimmy Bryant, known in California as the ‘Flaming Guitars’. He saw their genius up close. For three years, he played rhythm guitar on their
Capitol recordings and on Cliffie Stone’s weekly ‘Hometown Jamboree’ TV show. West’s and Bryant’s futuristic instrumentals, recorded for Capitol from 1950 through 1956 made
them two of country’s most admire and innovative musicians, even if the public knew little of them. Bryant’s dazzling technique mixed clean picking and raw genius. Speedy could play
sweetly and melodically, but explosive flamboyance became his trademark. Today’s guitarists need high-tech electronics to get the weird sounds these two got when low-tech was all there was.
This 112 song collection includes West and Bryant’s complete recordings for Capitol from 1950 through 1956 and both Speedy’s post - Bryant solo LPs for Capitol. But it goes
further, featuring the first known recordings each man made as an accompanist and an entire disc sampling their rich and varied career as Los Angeles studio musicians, accompanying
everyone from Tennessee Ernie Ford and Kay Starr to Spike Jones, Jean Shepard, Bing Crosby and Ella Mae Morse, from straight ahead country to big band jazz, always leaving
their own mark while making the artist sound good. For those who’ve heard only a sample of these two at their peak and want it all, here it is, with a complete discography and a 28,000
word, newly researched biography by Rich Kienzle.

SLIM WHITMAN
I'm A Lonely Wanderer (1960 – 1966)
--- 6-CD-Boxed Set (LP-Size) with Book ---
BCD 16214 FK
One of the most unique country music stylists of all time, Slim Whitman remains one of the music’s true legends and one of its most enduring stars, even more popular outside the
United States than at home. Whitman had risen to the top of the business in the early Fifties, and while his popularity slipped a little in the 1960s, he continued make great singles and
albums that have withstood the test of time. His work during this era set the stage for his comeback during the 1970s and ‘80s. This boxed set picks up the Slim Whitman story in
1960 (where the first boxed set, 'Rose Marie,' ended) and takes the story to the Spring of 1966. By then, Slim Whitman had become an album artist, and this set includes all of his
superb LPs from those years, including 'Just Call Me Lonesome,' 'Cool Water,' 'Sings Annie Laurie.' 'I'm A Lonely Wanderer,' 'Yodeling,' 'Irish Songs The Whitman Style,' 'All Time
Favorites,' as well as 'Country Songs, City Hits,' 'Love Song Of The Waterfall,' 'Reminiscing,' 'More Than Yesterday,' 'God's Hand In Mine,' and 'Travelin'Man.' Many of the 157 songs
are in stereo for the first time. This set also contains the songs that Slim recorded in South Africa in 1965, both those with Virginia Lee and those in Afrikaans. In addition, there is a
newly-researched biography by Kevin Coffey and a discography by Russ Wapensky and Richard Weize.

JESS WILLARD
Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor
BCD 16256- AH
One of the most obscure major label artists of the early 1950s, Jess Willard — named after the famed World War I era boxer, Jess Willard, the Potawatamie Giant — he has
nevertheless achieved some cult status in recent, both for his engaging combination of twangy, hard-hillbilly singing and hot, swinging accompaniments, and for his association with the so
called ‘Cochran Brothers’, Eddie and Hank, with whom he toured and recorded early in both of those important artist’s careers. An associate, too, of famed early Capitol star Jack
Guthrie, it was his Guthrie connections that probably attracted Capitol records to Willard. He recorded for the label form 1950-52, laying down 26 fine tracks, all of which are
included here, as is his 1955 single for Ekko that features Eddie and Hank Cochran in the accompanying band. In addition to Willard’s insouciant, engaging vocals, such legendary
musicians as Speedy West, Jimmy Bryant, Noel Boggs, Bill Woods and Tex Atchison are featured. Songs include the original version of Johnny Horton’s classic Honky Tonk
Hardwood Floor, as well as Truck Driver’s Boogie, Java Junction, Oil The Hinges On Your Door, Honky Tonkin’ All The Time and two unissued sides, Boogie Woogie Preachin’ Man and Honky Tonk Boogie.

CURLEY WILLIAMS and his Georgia Peach Pickers
Just A-Pickin’ And A-Singin’
BCD 16326AH
"Mitch Miller said to Wesley Rose, 'Ol' Hank's done it again, hasn't he?' and Wesley said, 'That was Curley Williams who wrote 'Half As Much,' and Mitch Miller said,
'Who's Curley Williams?' and Wesley said, 'A guy that's been on your label about seven years.'"
And there, in a nutshell, was Curley Williams’ dilemma. He was on the Grand Ole Opry before Hank Williams; he was on the Louisiana Hayride before Hank Williams; he was a
recording star before Hank Williams - but few remember him today, except for writing one of Hank’s biggest hits, Half As Much.
These two volumes are a retrospective of the great, and vastly underrated western swing star Curley Williams. Rarely reissued on microgroove, and never reissued on CD, these two
CDs are a treasure trove of oh-so-fine sharp-tip western swing music. So few have heard of Curley, much less heard him, but he’s on a par with the very best western swing
bandleaders of the 1940s and 1950s. If you like Bob Wills, Hank Thompson, Hank Penny, or Spade Cooley, you’ll be sure to love Curley Williams. They cover his complete Columbia
recordings, include all his early recordings from 1945 to 1952, as well as ultra-rare demos with Hank Williams of Time Has Proven I Was Wrong and No, Not Now. Curley went on
to work with Hank Williams and write one of his biggest hits, Half As Much, but here he proves convincingly that he’s much more than a footnote to the Hank Williams story.

LEW WILLIAMS
Cat Talk
BCD 16347-AH
For decades, Lew Williams remained one of rockabilly’s most intriguing mysteries. His small body of work is well-known: most of his Imperial recordings from 1955-56 have been
reissued at regular intervals, covered, even plagiarized. Fans and journalists alike acknowledge that there was something unique about Lew Williams. Sides like Cat Talk,
Centipede, Bop Bop Ba Doo Bop, and Something I Said have long been considered classics. Almost nothing was known of him. What became of him after 1957 remained a tantalizing
blank....until now. “Many of us were doing Cat Music prior to anyone hearing of Elvis,” Lew told annotator Kevin Coffey. “We didn’t want to be country or hillbilly singers. We didn’t
want country instruments. The fiddle went first, then the steel guitar. To us, country wasn’t cool.”
Reissues, like Bill Millar’s ‘Imperial Rockabillies’ and the Tom Ingram-compiled ‘Cat Talk’ brought Lew’s music to the attention of a new generation of rockabilly and roots music fans.
Sides like Centipede, Something I Said, Cat Talk and Bop Bop Ba Doo Bop are revered and treasured by fans worldwide — and the first rockabilly fanzine in the UK was aptly
called ‘Cat Talk.’ There were covers — and one notorious adaptation: the Stray Cats’ Fishnet Stockings borrowed heavily from Bop Bop Ba Doo Bop. Ray Condo and the
Ricochets have waxed Something I Said twice, the Blacktop Rockets have cut Centipede; Restless has cut Something I Said and Centipede. Lew remained oblivious to it all, but he
now has Bear Family’s reissue in his hand and is aware of his ‘cult’ status, and his importance as a transitional figure from honky-tonk to Cat Music, and, ultimately, rockabilly and rock ‘n’ roll.

PURPLE PEOPLE EATER
BCD 16149- AH
“You have a hell of a lot more fun if you’re versatile,” reflects Sheb Wooley, and, if this is so, the multi-talented Wooley must have had much more than his fair share of good times during
his fifty-year career. A singer and songwriter whose stylistic explorations have run the gamut from hillbilly and western swing to straight pop, rock ‘n’ roll and novelty. Wooley has also
had a successful career as an actor and comedian. No matter what the genre, there is no denying Wooley’s far-reaching talent.
He is probably best known for his novelty recordings, his 1958 #1 pop smash The Purple People Eater and the 1962 country hit That’s My Pa, which was followed by a run of hits
recorded under the name of his alter-ego Ben Colder that began with Don’t Go Near The Eskimos. These companion CDs, ‘The Purple People Eater’ (BCD 16149) and ‘Wild And
Wooley, Big Unruly Me’ (BCD 16150), jointly explore Wooley’s middle period, the middle ‘50s through the 1960s, concentrating on novelty, pop and rock ‘n’ roll recordings and
including The Purple People Eater and Are You Satisfied (BCD 16149) and lesser known, but no less interesting sides such as Recipe For Love (BCD 16150), as well as several previously unissued recordings.

THAT’S MY PA
4 CD BOX & BOOK
BCD 15902- DI
Sheb Wooley has done it all: singer, songwriter, comedian and actor. In a career that spans over a half century he has scored major hits as performer and songwriter, like Purple People
Eater and That’s My Pa, and acted in such important films as ‘High Noon’ and ‘Giant’. This set contains most of his Country recordings. 4 CDs — over 110 tracks, including many sides
never before issued and many never reissued on LP or CD — trace the singer-songwriter-actor-comedian’s multi-faceted career from his first sides for Bullet in 1945, followed by his
short but important stop at Dallas’ Bluebonnet label, to his long stint at MGM that began in 1948 and continued into the 1970s.
From Wooley’s earliest western swing-influenced recordings to his more mainstream country sessions of the fifties and, finally, his deftly produced Nashville sessions of the sixties and
early seventies, two things remained constant: Wooley’s own determined adaptability and versatility and the top-notch work of the sessionmen who backed him, men like Speedy
West and Jimmy Bryant on the West Coast and Zeb Turner, Grady Martin and Harold Bradley in Nashville, not to mention Wooley’s own Calumet Indians in Texas. Included here
are hits like Wooley’s first, Peepin’ Through The Keyhole, and subsequent charters like That’s My Pa, Blue Guitar, Tie A Tiger Down, and many others.

Eskimos, Mean Old Queens And Little Bitty Steers
BCD 16329 AR
Sheb Wooley
was a pop singer, a country singer, a television actor ('Rawhide'series), a movie star ('High Noon'), and a comedian. He covered so many bases, he needed more than
one name. His comedy records were issued under the name Ben Colder, and rather than just do a CD of parodies, Bear Family has gone the whole hog and included the original versions
too (just in case you forgot them, you don't need to go looking for them). For example Rex Allen's Don't Go Near The Indians is followed by Ben Colder's Don't Go Near The Eskimos
, and Johnny Cash's Ballad Of A Teenage Queen is followed by Ben Colder's Ballad Of A Mean Old Queen; Burl Ives' A Little Bitty Tear is followed swiftly by Ben Colder's A Little
Bitty Steer; Johnny Preston's Running Bear is followed by Ben Colder's Running Bare; and Jeannie C. Riley's Harper Valley PTA is followed by Ben Colder's Harper Valley PTA
(Later The Same Day). There's much more, but you get the idea. A musical treasure-chest. Seventy minutes later, you'll be wondering whatever happened to country music's sense of humour!
