"ROCK*A*BILLY COWBOYS" CD 10

This glorious 10-CD box set contains 250 original Rockabilly recordings featuring Johnny Cash, Carl Phillips, Johnny Horton, Marty Robbins, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Hank Thompson, Faron Young, Bill Haley & The Saddlemen and many others. All the tracks were recorded between 1947 and 1960 but with the vast majority coming from the 1950's.O yeah – sure the Country and Western stars could rock!!! If the cowboys were a bit more reserved than the  “real” rockers, listening to this compilation will still get you warmed up. The C&W music of the early 1950s deeply influenced Rock ’n’ Roll (and the Rockabilly scene as well). But from the mid-1950s C&W singers were admittedly kept moving more by the Rock and Rollers.

Thanks again Gyro for another of these, indeed for the whole series.
It's got more and more obscure with each volume. Looking forward to this one - it's got lots of stuff new to my ears. Great stuff !

BONUS:

SPIRIT - Clear (1969) @320 (Expanded Edition)


http://www53.zippyshare.com/v/1135621/file.html

The original Spirit lineup was the sleeper band of its era, maybe the top LA band from the '68-'72 span. Their first and fourth albums are acclaimed classics by just about everybody, but this disc is IMHO as good as them. While the roots of jazz rock taken further by Steely Dan's "Bodhisatva" could be heard on their third album's "All the Same" this disc has three jazz explorations, with "Ice" and "Caught" being superb instrumental
, improvisational tracks. The Hendrix vibe of the earlier discs is just as evident in "Dark Eyed Woman", and "So Little Time to Fly" and "Ground Hog" show early signs of the evolving sound that stuck to many on "Dr Sardonicus". The only stiff on this disc is "Give a Life, Take a Life", but the bonus tracks on this release more than make up for it: both sides of the "1984" single and several jazzy instrumentals, including a great track called "Eventide" that recalls "Caught". Top it all off with maybe the best non-single track on any Spirit disc, "New Dope in Town", and this is the record that doesn't get respect it should as a classic disc from a classic band. (Amazon)

So much great music, so little time.

Things could be much worse.

Thanks!

Just wanted to wait until I had all ten volumes of this fine and comprehensive series before I thanked you for all of your efforts.
My iPod is full of music that varies from a-Capella to zydeco; from Montovani to Wild Man Fischer and everything in between. But my Country and Rockabilly tunes are many and it surprised me that of the 250 songs in this series I had only but maybe ten or twelve.
The dates of recording or release were also very helpful to me, I have always been interested in all recording vintage.
Your blog is a daily visit for me and I never pass it by without downloading at least one or two records. But these Rock-A-Billy Cowboys take top prize this month.
Thanks again for your post and for your hard work. Too many blogs are constructed by people much younger than me who seem to think that music started and ended with Screaming Hard Rock Punk (not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Thank you again for being an Oasis in a vast wasteland.

Hallo Leute,
habe mir diese CD (Nr. 10) angehört und bin entsetzt über den Lärm den ich da vernommen habe. Von Musik kann man da ja nicht mehr sprechen, auf der CD vielleicht noch vorhanden, nach dem rippen leider überstark übersteuert. Macht keinen Spass.

Der Bonus ist nur minimal übersteuert, aber brauch- als anhörbar.

Schade ...

RYP said...

hey Werner,
in meinem itunes (MAC) hört sich die CD völlig normal an, nix übersteuert, so wie alle anderen CD's auch. Habe es auch noch auf meinem ipod mit Sennheiser Kopfhörer, und ipod per Bluetooth zur Stereo Anlage überprüft, alles normal, kein Lärm! Möglicherweise stimmt mit Deiner Übertragungs-Apparatur etwas nicht...

Grüsse aus'm Ruhrgebeat

Thanks JohnnyDiego for the good words. Happy to hear you enjoy the music here, I appreciate that you take the time to write.

werner said...

"good words" are only good words and not good music.
Sorry:
Meine Anwendungen sind im guten Zustand.

Als Kontrolle meiner Behauptung(en) koennte ja jemand das Programm "ocenaudio" herunterladen, installieren und ein Musikstueck, hier als Beispiel Nr.3 (10-03 I'm Lost Without Your Love.mp3), laden; oder prer druck and drop, und dann die Grafik betrachten so wie das VU-Meter waerend das Stueck gespielt wird.

Dennoch schoene Gruesse
Werner
