Far Beyond The Starry Sky |
● CD $13.98 |
20 tracks, 61 mins, essential
Complementing Arhoolie 7039 this is another wonderful collection featuring
one of the greatest of the early country artists. Carlisle was a superb
singer, a magnificent slide guitarist and had a varied and consistently
worthwhile repertoire which embraced traditional songs, blues, love songs,
risqué songs, gospel songs, western and sentimental songs. He was also a
mighty fine yodeler which he never used to excess. Some tracks feature his
early playing partner Wilbur Ball, others have his brother Bill or his son
Tommy and some have a small string band with some lovely fiddle. Among the
highlights is what I think is the first recording (1934) of Girl In The
Blue Velvet Band, a song which has become a bluegrass standard. The
quartet treatment of the gospel song Shine On Me is truly
spellbinding. But it's all wonderful including Where My Memory Lies/ Far
Beyond The Starry Sky/ Blind Child's Prayer/ Going Back To Alabama/ Desert
Blues/ Onion Eating Mama/ Prepare Me O Lord/ Lonely Orphan Child/ On the
Banks Of The Rio Grande/ Shine Your Light For Others and more. My only
complaint about this CD is that it isn't longer. (FS)

Tennessee Memories |
● CD $13.98 |
26 tracks, 63 mins, recommended
A delightful collection of country songs, novelty songs, gospel, pre
rockabilly and country boogies recorded between 1951 and 1954. Starting off
with veteran country singers Bill & Cliff Carlisle and Martha Carson the
group went through several personnel changes over the years after Cliff and
Martha left the group but the lead vocals of Bill and the use of the same
group of musicians including fine guitar by Chet Atkins gave a consistency
to the group's sound. Many of the songs were written by Bill Carlisle and
show a delightful touch for the absurd with songs like Goo-Goo Da-da
(Baby Latin Meaning "Daddy")/ Bargain Day Half Off/ It's bedtime Bill
and others. There's also straight ahead country numbers like their version
of The Louvin BrothersOne My Way To The Show, Martha's composition
Tennessee Memories , Cliff's True Love and others. There are also
a few gospel songs - Rusty Old Halo/ Leave That Liar Alone and more.

The "Chin-Up" Girl |
● CD $13.98 |
Although not a particularly compelling performer in her own
right Jenny Lou Carson (Virginia Lucille Overstake) she was a fine
songwriter who wrote in both the country and pop veins and is best known for
the country classic Jealous Heart (included here) and the pop hit
Let Me Go Lover. This set features her four earliest sides recorded in
1939 for OKeh where she is accompanied by the excellent Paririe Ramblers
under the pseudonym of The Sweet Violet Boys - a couple of them somewhat
risque. There are 8 tracks from 1944 radio transcriptions and the remaining
sides are commercial recording cut between 1946 and 1948.

The South's Favourite Yodeler |
● CD $13.98 |
24 tracks, recommended
In spite of the title there is very little yodeling here. A collection of 24
tracks recorded between 1938 and 1953 by South Carolina singer and
bandleader Claude Casey. The earlier sides from 1938 to 1946 are
particularly nice western swing flavored items. There is a wide variety of
material from this group whose personnell varied over the years - there are
novelty songs like The Installment Song and I Took It, sacred
songs like Keep Praying and Family Reunion In Heaven, a
rollicking version of the Tin Pan Alley Favorite All I Do Is Dream Of You,
the lively instrumental Little Girl Go Ask Your Mother featuring hot
steel by Jimmie Colvard. The later sides from 1948 and '53 are more
mainstream country but feature pleasing vocals and some were recorded in
Nashville with sidemen like Tommy Jackson, Don Helms and Chet Atkins. Good
sound and informative notes by Kevin Coffey. (FS)

musicians.

30 tracks from radio transcriptions in the 40s by this East
Coast group who were considered the East Coast equivalent of The Sons Of The
Pioneers. The group started in the 30s and were active through the 40s and
at various times included among its members Kenny Roberts & Bill Haley
though I don't believe that Haley is on any of these tracks.

For more than 50 years David Gordon Kirkpatrick aka Slim Dusty, who passed
away in September 2003, was Australia's most popular and beloved country
artist. He was also the first Australian country artist to have a worldwide
hit with his 1958 recording of A Pub With No Beer. Australian country
music was obviously inspired the American model but dealt with themes and
locations distinctly Australian. Dusty was an excellent and distinctive
singer and superb yodeller and this fine collection features 22 of his
earliest recordings ranging from 1943 when he was only 16 years old to 1951.
Accompanied only by his own guitar he performs songs like Been A Fool Too
Long/ A Song Of Granny/ You Made Me Live Love And Die/ How Can I Smile When
I'm Lonely/ Lover's Lament/ Modern Yodeling Song/ My Aussie Home and
others including his first hit When The Rains Tumble Down In July - a
song Slim was inspired to write in 1946 after some devastating floods and
was to become his theme song. Sound quality is excellent and there are
informative notes by Nick Strutt. (FS)
SLIM DUSTY: A Song Of Granny/ Been A Fool Too Long/ Give
Me One More Chance/ Happy Drover/ Heading For That Brumby Trail/ How Can I
