VARIOUS TIME IN A BOTTLE! CD 1:
VARIOUS ARTISTS This is the sort of grand project in which Bear Family excels. It’s stories and songs that recount the opening up of the American west. It’s the pioneers who staked their lives on a dream. The songs are sung by some of the greatest pop singers of our time, including Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney, and some of the greatest folk singers of our time, including Sam Hinton and Jimmie Driftwood. The original double LP was inspired by the stories that appeared in LIFE magazine, and those same stories were later adapted into the famous 1962 movie epic, directed by John Ford and starring Henry Fonda, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, and many others.
VARIOUS ARTISTS: One More Record Please It’s hard to imagine, but before another generation goes by, the subject matter of this collection will pass into history. Songs about phonograph records. Making them, buying them, playing them and measuring the stages of our lives by them. These are the topics of the songs on this collection. Records were part of our lives. Everyone bought them. Some of us brought them to parties or listened to them with our friends. Others listened to records alone, drawing the power of the music into our personal lives. Many of us played the jukebox or listened nightly as disc jockeys played the hits of the day. We even wrote or phoned the radio station to request our favorite songs. A few of those disc jockeys made their own preferences known when they tried to save the world from rock 'n' roll; they made news by breaking records over the air rather than playing them. For us, records were more than disposable pieces of popular culture. We sought out records and collected them. A thin piece of shellac or vinyl became a source of pleasure or excitement. The mere act of finding or owning a record became a matter of pride. Gradually, phonograph records became more than the music that was stamped on to them. The look of the labels, themselves, became additional sources of pleasure. A Sun 78 with that wonderful rooster who didn’t make it onto the 45s. An early buff-colored Bluebird label. The quest for records meant more than a trip to our neighborhood record store. For many of us it meant visits to yard sales and flea markets. Vacations were planned around record hunting trips. A rare find meant bragging rights. Not just about the music – but about the records. The songs on this collection celebrate the world of phonograph records across five decades of country and rockabilly music. It was a world we took for granted while it was here, and one that is disappearing before our eyes. The changes have happened very quickly. Technology won't stand still. And now we have arrived at a generation of people who barely know what a record is. Music is no longer something you buy. It is something you download. It's become a lot more efficient in terms of storage but it's also become a lot less romantic in the process. That's what is being lost with the cold march of technology. Many of us remember the first 78 we bought. The first 45. The first LP. Will today's teenagers talk as fondly about the first MP3 they ever downloaded? Every individual involved in the production of this collection and everyone who buys this disc is part of a family. We may grow smaller in number and older each year but we are still a visible minority. Just by owning and playing this record (CD) we celebrate the values and experiences we share. We help to keep them alive. Billy Walker: The Record

MEMORIES OF JIMMIE RODGERS 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 protege, 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.

HANK WILLIAMS: SONGWRITER...TO...LEGEND 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.
