| | Description: | Released in 1964, â??Country Hits...Feelinâ?? Blueâ?? was remarkably stripped-down and unassuming. Among the musicians
were two masters on their own instruments: guitarist extraordinaire Billy Strange and upright bassist John Mosher.
They entered the recording studio, and the resulting album sustained its formula of simple directness from start to finish:
twelve country standards cut in six hours over two days with three guys. No overdubs, no re-doâ??s... one take for each
song, with Ford singing over Strangeâ??s understated, nimble arrangements.
Eleven years later, the 1964 session served as a template for Fordâ??s last great album concept.... which was not a
copycat project. Featuring ten country standards (with the inclusion of three progressive country songs by Kris
Kristofferson), â??Ernie Sings & Glen Picksâ?? matched Fordâ??s vocals to inspired accompaniment by country and pop
crossover superstar and guitarist/harmony singer Glen Campbell as well as acoustic bassist Chuck Domanico. The
recordings were rich and textured precisely because the co-headliners, Ford and Campbell brought to the studio
radically different experiences and sensibilities. Simple clarity...natural depth...an elaboration of two artists in unison.
Fordâ??s two classic trio albums for Capitol, now properly recognized on a this pairing,
provide compelling evidence to support critic Stephen Thomas Erlewineâ??s claim that Ford was an â??American roots pop
pioneer.â?? - .. ALBUMS, 1964 & 1975 / 28PGS BOOKLET-Tennessee Ernie Ford's trio albums: simple clarity... natural depth. -Tennessee Ernie Ford's two trio albums: 'Country Hits... Feelin' Blue' (1964) 'Ernie Sings & Glen Picks' (1975) paired here by Bear Family Records® for the first time in any format. -An early template for the 'unplugged' album... decades before that recording technique became a trend in popular music. -Featured musicians: guitarist extraordinaire Billy Strange and upright bassist John Moshe (1964), and country and pop crossover superstar/guitarist/harmony singer Glen Campbell and acoustic bassist Chuck Domanico (1975). -To many in the know these are the finest LP releases of secular music from the singer's long career, with a voice that was well-worn yet enduring. -Extensive liner notes by East Tennessean, Dr. Ted Olson, Professor of Appalachian Studies at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City. -The full-color booklet contains previously unseen photos from the recording sessions. In 2015 Bear Family Records collected Ford's 78 RPM releases along with his 1950s LPs of secular music in the 5-CD boxed set 'Tennessee Ernie Ford: Portrait of an American Singer, 1949-1960' (BCD17332). That set, though, did not incorporate any of Ford's recordings released after 1960. Ford is most often remembered today for his early recordings. In 1955, the singer scored a massive national crossover hit with his finger-snapped rendition of Sixteen Tons. He remained a prolific recording artist through the early 1980s. Bear Family's release of this single-CD featuring two trio albums presents recordings Ford himself would have wanted to be considered in any discussions about his legacy 'Country Hits... Feelin' Blue' and 'Ernie Sings & Glen Picks' document Ford at his best! Released in 1964, 'Country Hits... Feelin' Blue' was remarkably stripped-down and unassuming. Among the musicians were two masters on their own instruments: guitarist extraordinaire Billy Strange and upright bassist John Mosher.[m684304] (1964) and [m492018] (1975) on same CD. | | | No. of tracks: |
