Country Music Hall of Fame Series

Amazon.com
Grandpa Jones's death in 1998 robbed country music of its last link to the folk songs, vaudeville, and hokum from which it partly came. There's little in the way of darkness or pain here and there are some awkward flirtations with '50s mainstream country, but songs like "Rattler's Pup," "Mountain Dew," "Eight More Miles to Louisville," and "Old Towzer" are endlessly engaging. They're also a catechism on where country music came from, even if they don't tell us much about where it's headed. Listen too for Grandpa's hayseed banjo and Paul Yandell's tiny, perfect guitar solos. --Colin Escott

Amazon.com essential recording

Miss Kitty Wells, dressed demurely in gingham and uttering ne'er a cussword, was the role model for women in country music until Patsy Cline came along. "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky-Tonk Angels" is one of country music's defining moments. In it--as in most of her hits--Kitty was wronged and betrayed by a feckless man. Titles like "Will Your Lawyer Talk to God," "A Woman Half My Age," "Icicles Hanging From Your Heart," and "I'd Rather Stay Home," pretty much fill out the story. Kitty sings with patent honesty, only rarely venturing off the three-chord highway, and never to dance on the tabletops. --Colin Escott

One of the best.......2006-05-25

If you are a fan of Kitty Wells, or just a fan of vintage country and western music, this CD is a must.

Paints a good picture.......2004-05-07

I give this 4 stars not because this is the definite Kitty Wells collection, because it isn't. I give it four stars because it is one of the few collections that offer a good sampling of her ORIGINAL recordings.

Now, let me tell you about an ideal Kitty Wells set. Take all of her top 10's and some of her lesser known songs and there you go, it's not that hard to figure out.

By listening to the songs here, you imagine that Kitty bacically played the housewife who was fighting for a say in what went on. True, but there was much more to her than that.

She was a masterful honky tonk singer, an excellent gospel singer, and when the "Nashville Sound" hit in the 1960's she mastered that also. In fact, Kitty was probably one of the most versatile performers in country music history.

To summerize, this is a great set, all the songs are original recordings, and the notes are awesome. But, you need to hear a lot more of her songs to understand what she was all about.

And also, avoid her Step One recordings as well as anything that in on Deluxe, Compass, or anything that doesn't say "Decca," "MCA," or "Bear Family" somewhere on the package.

Pray that Bear Family will release a 28 or 30 song cd of her hits.

The Queen of Country!.......2003-12-21

There must be a reason amazon posts this selection first among the Kitty choices. This one is a winner. Muriel Ellen Deason ("Kiity Wells") is a true to life native of Nashville. According to Billboard, she had 64 chart hits from 1952 to 1968. A representative 11 of them are included here and the other 5 fit right in. Kitty's plain and plaintive woman wronged no frills voice shines through. Highlights for this reviewer were "Will Your Lawyer Talk to God?","Password" and especially "A Woman Half My Age". That one just may be in the "Stand By Your Man" league of forgiving women songs! Those last 2 came late in Kitty's career and were composed in the (then) new "Nashville Sound". This woman is versatile! She handles those just as well as the traditional releases. This CD is absolutely recommended for no nonsense country sung by a real lady of the old school. As we know all too well, that school has been out of session for a tragically long time.

Kitty Still The Queen.......2002-06-17

This CD is absolute evidence that Kitty is still the queen of country music. In fact I don't think she even has a close rival for the title. She is the Hank Williams of female singers, the highest compliment I can pay her. Buy this CD and see what I mean

Undisputed Queen of C&W.......2002-04-09

I'm a big fan of Patsy Cline's music but in all honesty her vocal sound was more in line with pop music than Country. It doesn't however take away from any of her greatness. But Kitty Wells was pure uncut Country all the way-The female Ernest Tubb if you will. Two of my all time faves are on this cd- The classic "Will your lawyer talk to God" and "Password"-- oh yeah "It wasn't God who..." is also a favorite. These are the original tracks and therefore make this cd worth buying. We love ya Kitty !

Now this is fun stuff...........2007-05-26

Like so many people, my memories of Grandpa Jones extend about as far as his appearances on Hee Haw, but this CD is but a sampling of some of his best-known music. "Mountain Dew" and "Rattler's Pup" are instantly recognizable, and bring to mind a time when music was just plain fun. "Everyone's Grandpa" is probably a more complete collection of his work, but this is far more affordable and accessible for those wanting to add just the essentials.

Great banjo-led folk-country music.......2005-01-13

Grandpa Jones recorded for several different record labels and often re-recorded his old songs. In the thirties, he was nicknamed Grandpa aged just 22 because of his general outlook and his old-sounding voice.

In the late forties, Grandpa achieved great success with Mountain dew, Eight more miles to Louisville and Old rattler, while signed to King records. He switched to RCA in 1952 and made some great music for them before switching to Decca in 1956. This CD contains everything that Grandpa recorded for Decca between 1956 and 1959 - just fifteen studio tracks and one live recording.

Here you will find re-recordings of some of his earlier country hits with King (Mountain dew, Eight more miles to Louisville, Dark as a dungeon) along with songs about dogs and hunting (Rattler's pup, The hunting's over for tonight, Old Towzer).

Grandpa had a sense of humor, never clearer than in Don't bring your banjo home, an adaptation of Johnny Cash's Don't take your guns to town, and Daylight saving time, about changing the clocks in October (a debate that still endures). Grandpa clearly liked Johnny's early music - he also recorded a straight cover of Picking time. Another great cover is Waiting for a train, originally by Jimmie Rodgers, Grandpa's first musical idol.

After his spell with Decca, Grandpa recorded for Monument (1960 to 1973) and CMH (1976 to 1981) where he continued to make great music, albeit in a somewhat different style, more folk than country.

If you enjoy old-time country or folk music, especially if you like Pete Seeger (another banjo-picking singer), you might enjoy Grandpa's music. But if you want the original versions of his country hits, look for a compilation of his King recordings.

Grandpa's late-'50s Decca sides still sound great.......2004-10-12

Country-music master Grandpa Jones recorded prolifically for several different labels; this CD represents his entire output for Decca Records (1956-59). This writer was pleasantly surprised by what a consistent performer Jones was: the 1958 rendition of "Mountain Dew" heard here is almost precisely the same as his 1971 performance on "Hee Haw," right down to the ad-libbed humming during one of the banjo breaks.

The CD features traditional country ballads (with Jones leading a close-harmony vocal arrangement); up-tempo banjo specialties with Grandpa's infectiously genial solo vocals ("Mountain Dew" is a highlight); and sometimes a happy combination of the two styles ("The Huntin's Over for Tonight" is a glorious hootenanny that you'll enjoy again and again, with Jones leading the whole gang). There are also some tongue-in-cheek selections: "Daylight Saving Time" has Grandpa railing against monkeying with the clocks, and he practically spits out the title phrase contemptuously; "The All-American Boy," the story of a backwoods kid who became a rock-and-roll sensation, seems an odd choice for Grandpa Jones, but he sings it in character with chip-on-the-shoulder cockiness.

This collection could have used "Old Rattler" and some of Grandpa's other tunes, but it is confined to the Decca sessions. It does include an unissued track, a live recording, and a rare side issued only as a 45-rpm single. Those who know Grandpa's vocals on "Hee Haw" will not be disappointed by this CD.

Classiest Grandpa Jones collection available........2003-12-04

First off, the music here is from his time on Decca Records in the 1950's, in fact this is his entire Decca output (excluding one lost song). Now, Grandpa's most well known recordings are were on King Records, and his chart hits were on Monument Records.

The booklet is very well done, and the essay is great. Recording dates are included.

Probably the best cut is a live version of "Cindy" from the Grand Ole Opry, with Ray Price introducing Grandpa.

Lynn's distinction is as the first female country singer to write her own compositions. In doing so, she proved that women in country were capable of more that just torch songs and pop stylings. "You Ain't Woman Enough," "Don't Come Home A Drinkin'" "I'm A Honky Tonk Girl," "Fist City," and "You're Looking at Country" show a vibrant, independent woman with her own strong beliefs and keen observations. In her songs, she (literally) fights for her man's loyalty, stands up to his abuse, and moves on when he leaves. Among these 16 cuts are duets with Ernest Tubb and Conway Twitty, the controversial "The Pill" (yes, that pill), and her autobiographical trademark, "Coal Miner's Daughter." Lynn's defiant outlook picks up where Kitty Wells left off. --Marc Greilsamer

Customer Reviews:

Note perfect single disc summary of key solo works.......2004-12-28

Though the track list is shorter (and the timeframe narrower) than 2002's "All Time Greatest Hits," this 1991 release is still a terrific summary of Lynn's key years, spanning from the mid 60s through the mid-70s and hitting most of the highpoints along the way. There are also enough non-hit tracks to keep this from simply being a recitation of Lynn's chart success, but the singular focus on Lynn's solo work does leave other parts of her career, such as the hit duets she recorded with Conway Twitty.

Those looking for an affordable way to school themselves on one of the cornerstone performers of country music could hardly do better than this introduction to the coal miner's daughter. One warning: be prepared to trade it back in for 1994's more thorough 3-disc "Honky Tonk Girl," because as good as this is, it can't even hope to contain all the treasures in Lynn's catalog.

Really good- Loretta Lynn may be country's queen!.......2003-06-22

Of the big 4 of late-'50s-and-after women of country (Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton), I think Loretta is my favorite, partially because she's the most country, but also, at her peak, she probably made the most really good recordings. All the ones I know of hers are on this collection, and many are classic. My favorite is "Fist City," but things like "Blue Kentucky Girl," "One's on the Way," "You Ain't Woman Enough," and "Coal Miner's Daugher" and others are really good. A bunch songs I like less, including "After the Fire is Gone," "Out of My Head and Back in My Bed," "Honky Tonk Girl," "When the Tingle Becomes a Chill," and more. These are songs I like less or don't care for much, but that's more because they don't make much of an impression of likeability on me. I don't think they're bad by any means. So by overall giving an impression of being really good, it gets 4 stars.

A good supplement, but not a primary disc, part 2.......2000-03-04

Along with the "Historic Edition" CD, this is a good supplement for fans who have the core of Bob Wills hits on other discs and are now looking to broaden their collections. However, first-time buyers of music by this great musician would definitely do better with either "King of Lonestar Swing" or "The Essential Bob Wills", both of which capture the greatest pieces as well as some interesting secondary songs. Whatever you do, buy at least one disc that has "Dusty Skies" on it. This hauntingly beautiful western song is not generally found and is, in my opinion, the best piece ever recorded by Bob Wills and one of the best western songs ever (right up there with "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and "Cool Water"). This piece is found on the "Historic Edition" and the much more generously filled "King of Lonestar Swing" (with 28 tracks!) In summary, this is a good supplemental disc for the aficionado, but don't miss out on the better known pieces found on the other discs mentioned.

A must for Bob Wills Fans.......1999-08-03

If you like Bob Wills you need to have this one for your collection. It has several of his all time great songs. This album has all the flair that all Bob Wills fans enjoy.

Before his rise as a film and television star, Roy Rogers had a significant impact on country music, first as a member of the Sons of the Pioneers, then as a solo act. This 16-song set chronicles his recordings for Decca in the 1930s and '40s. Rogers's delightful voice rings out high above the music on these classics, displaying a beautiful tone and depth of emotion. Two early hits with the Sons kick off the collection: "I'm an Old Cowhand," a swinging romp complete with perfect harmonies, group yodels, and Hugh Farr's sprite fiddle; and "Moonlight on the Prairie," a soft ballad of the plains on which Farr's somber fiddle work adds to the lonesome mood. Rogers's solo work focuses attention on his own considerable vocal talents through a range of material: songs from the books of Gene Autry and Bob Wills, cowboy love songs, World War II-era laments, and most significantly, tributes to the open spaces of the Old West. --Marc Greilsamer

This is the first time I listen to Roy Rogers' songs, and I must say that I feel very emotional to do so. It seems like time stopped at the cowboy era, especially in Moonlight on the Prairie. I hope to be able to listen more music like that; it's so romantic.
