EDDY ARNOLD Proper BOX 67 Eddy's Song ● CD $26.98
4 discs, 90 tracks, highly recommended
Though a lot of people blame Eddy for helping "ruin" country music by going "country-politan" in the 60s, when he started in the 40s he was pure country. This set concentrates on the early years, from his first session in 1944 which yielded the classic Cattle Call, through 1952. Managed by Col. Tom Parker, Eddy had the record for most #1 hits (28) & most singles charted. All the early ones are here - I'll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms)/ I'm Throwing Rice (At The Girl That I Love)/ I Wanna Play House With You/ Texarkana Baby/ My Daddy Is Only A Picture. Also, if you get this in time for Christmas, there's a slew of seasonal songs including Will Santa Come To Shantytown? With 32 page booklet. (FS)

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)

 
FRANK HUTCHISON/ KELLY HARRELL & MORE JSP JSPCD 7743 Worried Blues ● CD $28.98
4 CDS, 99 tracks, highly recommended
Another wonderful collection of old time country music from JSP featuring artists based in Virginia. The first disc and part of the second features the complete recordings of the brilliant singer/ guitarist and harmonica player Frank Hutchison. Hutchison was a great singer and a superb guitarist recorded between 1926 and 1929 with a varied repertoire ranging from blues with slide guitar to old time ballads to an instrumental version of It's Long Way To Tipperary. The rest of disc 2 and all of disc 3 features the complete recordings of Kelly Harrell who played no instruments but was a fine and engaging singer who concentrated on traditional style ballads including a number that have become old time standards. Some of his accompaniments are rather "square" but other feature fine old time musicians. His recording of The Cuckoo Is A Fine Bird is a real gem complete with cuckoo sound effects. The fourth disc includes two fine string bands. There 12 tracks by the Tenneva Ramblers (The Grant Brothers) from the Tennessee/ Virginia border region recorded in 1927/28. For a while the group backed Jimmie Rodgers but, unlike Rodgers, nothing more was heard from them after these sessions. The Blue Ridge Highballers, led by fiddler Charley La Parde, are featured on 12 fine songs and tunes. Sound quality varies but is generally excellent and there are informative notes by Pat Harrison.

JIMMIE RODGERS JSP 7704 Recordings, 1927-1933 ● CD $28.98
5 CDs, 109 tracks, essential
Jimmie Rodgers was one of the most influential of all country musicians - he was the first big country recording star, and without him the music today would be much different. Gene Autry, Jimmie Davis, Hank Snow, and Ernest Tubb began their careers as Rodgers imitators, and he influenced Bill Monroe, Bob Wills, Doc Watson, Merle Haggard, Lefty Frizzell and many others in style and repertoire. Jimmie's genius lay in his ability to combine disparate familiar musical elements into something uniquely his. His droll, languid vocals owed much to the country blues of his native Mississippi, but also contained elements of "classic" blues vocal style, along with hints of vaudeville and Tin Pan Alley. He also recorded with Hawaiian guitarists, Louis Armstrong, The Carter Family, fiddler Clayton McMichen, Louisville Jug Band, and sweet jazz bands. And most of it worked. Jimmie was fond of parlor ballads about home and mother, and ersatz cowboy songs such as Prairie Lullaby/ Yodeling Cowboy/ Cowhand's Last Ride/ When The Cactus Is In Bloom. His trademark blue yodels were unique; many, such as Blue Yodel #8 (Muleskinner Blues)/ #3 ("She's long, she's tall, she's 6 feet from the ground...") or Last Blue Yodel ("These women make a fool out of me...") have entered the fabric of American music. Jimmie's railroading career was reflected in Waiting For A Train/ Hobo Bill's Last Ride/ Train Whistle Blues/ Southern Cannonball. His versions of Frankie And Johnny/ He's In The Jailhouse Now can be traced back to blues songs. Mother, The Queen Of My Heart is the quintessential mother song; its sentimentality is so cloying that it is perfect in a way. All these classics and more are here. If you can afford it the way to go is Bear Family's glorious six CD set (BCD 15540 - $109.98) which not only includes everything here but also some alternate takes, an unissued song, his movie soundtrack and overdubbed versions of some of the songs as well as a gorgeous 60 page LP sized book with notes by Rodgers biographer Nolan Porterfield and load of photos and other memorabilia. If that is too much this set is a more than satisfactory alternative. (RP/FS)

VARIOUS ARTISTS JSP 7742 Western Swing & Country Jazz ● CD $28.98
4 CDs, 100 tracks, 4 hours 34 min., highly recommend
A nice companion to the Proper Records western swing box sets, this collection favors the jazzy side of western swing, narrows the focus to the 1930s and, rather than representing dozens of artists with a cut or two, features only 9 acts. Ocie Stockard & The Wanderers classic Decca session from 1937 opens the proceedings in high style, featuring the sublime trumpet work of Harry Palmer. Likewise, Roy Newman And His Boys' 15 sides stand out as some of the finest work of the period. One of His Boys, Jim Boyd, is worth his weight in guitar strings, and Holly Horton's clarinet efforts add a pleasingly unique quality. Takin' Off features amplified steel guitar played by Bob Dunn, whose Vagabonds are represented by 5 exciting cuts. (Dunn is named by some as possibly the first to use an amplifier on his guitar back when he recorded for Milton Brown.) One disc is entirely reserved for Jimmie Revard and His Oklahoma Playboys. Rounding out the set are Smoky Wood's Wood Chips, Cliff Bruner & His Texas Wanderers, Swift Jewel Cowboys, and the Modern Mountaineers, whose Everybody's Truckin' offer a potentially risqué lyric (that's with a "T," right?) and a racially insensitive chorus comment which must have seem harmless at the time. A wonderful collection with superior sound. (JC)

VARIOUS ARTISTS JSP JSPCD 7755 Mountain Gospel ● CD $28.98
Four CDS, 100 tracks, essential
Fabulous collection of old time gospel music featuring 100 tracks recorded between 1926 and 1941 - the first in depth look at this genre. It includes the complete recordings of the fantastic singer/ guitarist Alfred G. Karnes and the great and terrifically exciting Ernest Phipps & His Holiness Quartet previously available on the now out of print Document CD "Kentucky Gospel." It includes many sides not previously on CDs and the music is tremendously varied including unaccompanied quartets, string bands, brother duets, sacred harp groups and even some novelty gospel numbers. Apart from the aforementioned Karnes and Phipps, highlights include 12 gorgeous sides by Ernest V. Stoneman with harmony vocals accompanied by guitar, fiddle and organ; three tracks by The Bush Family/ Brothers; a lovely duet by The Anglin Twins featuring Jack Anglin who later became half of Johnnie & Jack, the delightful Virginia Dandies featuring vocal by Walter Smith who also appears as Kid Williams on two songs with fine steel guitar, groups led by J.E. Mainer and his brother Wade, the terrific Bill Carlisle and much more. Sound quality varies but generally excellent and there brief notes on many of the artists and discographical information. This is one of those sets you'll return to again and again because of the variety and everywhere you look you'll find an obscure gem. (FS)

VARIOUS ARTISTS JSP 7757 Early Country Radio ● CD $28.98
Four CDS, 79 tracks, essential
This is a fabulous collection of country music recorded between 1936 and 1951 for playing on the radio via the medium of transcription discs. There is no discography of these unique recordings and a great many of them were destroyed over the years under the terms of use of the transcription companies so we should be grateful for what has survived. The track count above is a little misleading since some of the tracks are complete shows with several songs, commercial spiels, etc. The first two discs are devoted to the great Carter Family who were one of the most prolific, popular and influential country groups of the 20s and 30s and whose influence can be heard today in many recordings. In the 30s a number of radio stations opened in Mexico on the border with Texas and free of restrictions on power output enforced by the FCC they proved a haven for commercial sponsors who often used music to entertain the listeners in preparation for the commercial pitch. In 1938, The Carter Family relocated to Del Rio, Texas and over the next three years produced a vast number of radio transcriptions that were broadcast over border stations XERA, XERF and XET. The first disc and part of the second features recordings made between 1938 and 1941 for XERF and the rest of the second disc features sides recorded in 1936 for Associated Programn Services (I believe the latter are on the Bear Family 12 CD box set). Most of the songs are those they had recorded commercially for Victor, Columbia and Decca along with a few not recorded commercially like a splendid rendition of I'm Sitting On Top Of the World and there are often subtle differences in the arrangements but the family's simple, direct vocals and lovely instrumental accompaniments with Maybelle's superb guitar work and Sarah's guitar or autoharp accomniment are always a delight.
The third and fourth discs feature extensive contributions from Bill Monroe's older brother Charlie and his splendid group The Kentucky Partners. Drawn from 1944 transcriptions, his band at the time included brother Birch on fiddle, Lester Flatt on guitar and vocal, Tex Isley on electric guitar and others including Helen Osborne (aka Katy Hill) playing banjo on several cuts. Charlie's music has been overshadowed by his brother Bill but his music is wonderful and compelling with great vocals and instrumental work on a wide selection of old time material. You also get to hear some commercials for Man-O-Ree laxative. Also featured on the box are fine contributions from Roy Hall & His Blue Ridge Entertainers, J.E. Mainer's Mountaineers, Cowboy Slim Rinehart and the set ends with a rare 1951 March Of Dimes show featuring the greatest of them all Hank Williams with his Drifting Cowboys helping to raise money for children with infantile paralysis. Hank and the group do three songs and Hank does some moving pitches for the cause. One of songs features the horribly flat lead vocals of Audrey but the rest is wonderful. Sound is generally fine and there are informative notes by Pat Harrison. Some truly indispensable music. (FS)

VARIOUS ARTISTS JSP JSPCD 7780 Serenade In The Mountains - Early Old Time Music ● CD $28.98
Four CDs, 94 tracks, highly recommended
Another fabulous collection of old time music from JSP. This is a varied selection with the first disc being mostly devoted to string bands like The Scottdale String Band, Uncle Eck Dunford, Narmour & Smith, The Fox Chasers and others including two two-sided comedy skits with music by Ernest Stoneman & The Blue Ridge Cornshuckers. The second disc has an emphasis on the banjo including solo vocal and banjo performers by the unique "Minstrel Of The Appalachians" Bascom Lamar Lunsford and Dock Walsh - the latter playing slide banjo on two cuts. There are several superb banjo instrumentals from Hendley, Small & Whitter, Marion Underwood (the magnificent Coal Creek March) and is rounded out with sides by the superb Blue Ridge Mountain Entertainers (with a couple of skits) and Carolina Tar Heels (the latter group featuring Walsh on banjo). The third disc features artists from Georgia - many of them associated with The Skillet Lickers including Ted Hawkins & Riley Puckett, Clayton McMichen & Dan Hornsby, The Monroe County Bottle Tippers (doing the two part sktch The Fiddlin' Bootleggers), McMichen & Puckett, The Hometown Boys, Georgia Yellow Hammers and more. The final disc is mostly devoted to the more urbane sounds of artists Carson Robinson, Vernon Dalhart and Frank Luther performing solo and in various duet combinations. It opens with two tracks from 1929 by The New Arkansas Travelers featuring guitar and two harmonicas with vocals by an Englishmen performing what sounds like a couple of English music hall songs. Apart from the unexpected English working class accent these can certainly be considered old time country even though they were omitted from the Country Music discography and they were issued by Victor in the USA - intriguing! This disc ends with two tracks by the splendid Otto Gray & His Oklahoma Cowboys and two from the Texas Rangers - a western two part comedy sketch Dude Ranch Party. Lots of great music with excellent sound and brief, informative notes by Pat Harrison. A number of the tracks have been out on CD before but it's nice to have them gathered together here and quite a few are making their first appearance on CD. (FS)

VARIOUS ARTISTS Proper BOX 103 From Boppin' Hillbilly To Red Hot Rockabilly ● CD $26.98
Four CDs, 120 tracks, highly recommended
Fabulous collection of up-tempo hillbilly and rockabilly from the period 1951 to 1955. The first two discs are predominantly country artists and the second predominantly rockabilly though the transition between the two is pretty seamless and Hardrock Gunter's 1951 recording of Hesitation Boogie rocks almost as hard as recordings made four years later and Billy Starr's 1953 cover of Big Mama Thornton's Hound Dog is just as wild as Elvis's version from three years later though not as good. Many of the sides here have been on CD before though a number are pretty hard to find and the presentation here is great with superb sound and a 68 page illustrated booklet with extensive notes by rock 'n' roll expert Adam Komorowski and full discographical info.
