aka Eric C. Edwards |
● CD $13.98 |
Though not achieving the international success of his fellow
Canadian country singers Hank Snow and Wilf Carter, Alberta Slim (real name
Eric Charles Edwards) was a fine singer, guitarist and yodeler who was very
popular in his home land. Most of the tracks here are from radio
transcriptions - no dates are given but I would assume they are from the 40s
and feature Slim accompanied only by his own guitar. There are also six
tracks from the early 50s from commercial recordings featuring with a small
group with fiddle and steel guitar.

26 tracks, 69 mins, essential
Fabulous collection of country swing by this obscure but utterly superb
group from Kentucky. Led by Eldon Baker who took ocassional vocals it
featured his brother Floyd on guitar and Wade who also played guitar and
took most of the vocals. Joining the Bakers were two incredible musicians -
Charlie Linville on fiddle and Harry Baker on guitar - this duo perform in a
jazzy style that is in the same vein as Hugh & Karl Farr. The bulk of the
recordings here (10 of them originally unissued!) are from a lengthy 18
trcak session recorded over two days and includes a varied selection of
material including including traditional numbers, Western flavored songs,
religious songs, novelty songs and blues. Additionally there are two rare
sides from 1945 by Wade Baker as well a song by him from a radio
transcription that same year. Rounding out the set are six fabulous sides
from 1952 from guitarist Harry Adams who now plays electric guitar and also
occasionally sings on five rocking numbers that proves he had lost none of
his instrumental chops. An exemplary release from B.A.C.M. with notes from
the knowledgeable Kevin Coffey. (FS)

Early Minstrel Songs, 1916-1923 |
● CD $13.98 |
24 track collection of minstrel songs recorded between 1916
and 1920 by singer and banjo player Harry C. Brownse with occasional
accompaniment from various vocal quartets. Not really country music but
certainly one of the elements that was to become part of country music. The
titles and lyrics that parody African-American speech can be pretty
offensive but were normal for the time.

| HOYT "SLIM" BRYANT |
B.A.C.M. 178 |
And His Wildcats |
● CD $13.98 |
31 tracks, 70 minutes, highly recommended
A cowboy-flavored ensemble that evolved from Clayton McMichen's
Louisville-based Georgia Wildcats, Slim Bryant and His Wildcats were staples
on Pittsburgh radio and television during the '40s and early '50s. Taking
its vocal cues from California's close-harmony Western trios, the Wildcats
were particularly notable for their hot take-off guitar, fiddle and
accordion solos. The group made precious few recordings, but a healthy
sampling of its music survived via 16" NBC Radio Thesaurus transcriptions
cut around 1946-47. Slim Bryant was - and at age 98, still is - one of the
country and jazz guitar's unsung heroes. His leads are smart and dazzling;
his fills are a primer in how to accompany a vocalist. Sharp-eared listeners
will recognize some familiar licks; Les Paul was a Bryant fan. Of the two
instrumentals on this disc, Walking the Pup best showcases Bryant's
skill. Fiddler Ken Newton, accordionist Al Azzaro and bassist Loppy Bryant
all could swing, as does an unidentified rhythm guitarist. The trio
harmonies compare to early Sons of the Pioneers; Newton and Bryant's brother
Loppy share vocal leads. Though recommended listening to anyone who
appreciates Pee Wee King/ Whippoorwills-styled music, this disc is a must
for serious country guitar aficionados. Sound is better than usual for
B.A.C.M.; Bryan Chalker penned a brief appreciation. (DS)

| BUZ BUTLER |
B.A.C.M. 156 |
MOney Ain't Everything |
● CD $13.98 |
24 tracks, recommended
Buz Butler's main claim to fame was that he was the first artist to record
the song Mule Train that was subsequently a #1 hit for Tennessee
Ernie Ford but as this collection shows he was a very worthwhile artist.
This collection of sides recorded between 1947 and 1951 is thought to be his
entire output. Very little is known about Busby but publicity material from
the time indicates he was originally from Georgia and got interested in
music as a child. The material here is varied with novelty songs, country
boogies and soulful honky tonk ballads. His version of Jimmie Rodgers
Muleskinner Blues is an energetic performance that has a lot in common
with the Fendermen's hit version from 1960. There are also two fine duets
with female vocalist Cass dailey. (FS)
BUZ BUTLER: A Little Scrap Of Paper/ A Year Of City
Livin'/ Bloodshot Eyes/ Bonaparte's Retreat/ Chew Tobacco Rag/ Coyote Blues/

Rocky Mountain Rhythm |
● CD $13.98 |
English country & western music from the 30s! Big Bill
Campbell was a Canadian who moved to England in the early 30s and initially
called himself Zeke Winters and subsequently Big Bill Campbell. He had
several popular radio shows on Radio Luxembourg and the BBC running from the
late 30s through the early 50s. Most of the musicians and vocalists were
English and it tells. Not particularly compelling music but an interesting
offshoot of country music that is little known these days.

& The Buccaneers |
● CD $13.98 |
25 tracks, good
The best thing about Captain Stubby & The Buccaneers is their name. Captain
Stubby (Tom Fauts) is best known for having recorded the original version of
the Roto-Rooter jingle Away Go Troubles Down The Drain. Although the
notes describe the group as country comedy the country content is minimal,
for that matter so is the comedy. A more accurate description would be
novety pop and the performances are pleasant enough if you like that sort of
thing but the Hoosier Hot-Shots they're not. (FS)
