    Have you got The Genius of Roger Miller box set?

    I also highly recommend this disc, looks like a regular same old cheap hits comp but it's superb, it's just early honky-tonk stuff, it's a favourite disc of mine.

    The two Bear Family Miller discs are great, too.

    Something I've been thinking about lately, who's gonna fill 'Richard Weize's' shoes?
    It's one thing to find someone, but finding someone with such devout passion is another.

    Of course, the entire CD industry seems to be shutting down.

    Watched this gem of a DVD again today. Wish it included the Ed Sullivan performance but it's great as is.

    love me some Johnny Horton, especially his 56-60 recordings. His bass slappin' country/hillbilly/rockabilly.
    'Honky Tonk Man' sounds fresh as a daisy every time.

    I tried to find a copy of the photo but could only come up with this, that's definitely Steve Young on the left though.

    It's sickening when you think about how many thousands of dollars each of us have spent on CDs in our collection. If you can't own a physical copy of a title outright, what's the point? Might as well turn to a life of music piracy through illegal downloading and file sharing.

    Great photo! Talley seems to be aging at a much slower rate than most humans.

    What a versatile songwriter and singer! Bear Family did a terrific job with his releases and I still believe they played a sizable role in generating buzz and helping him reach new/younger fans on a worldwide level.

    Good stuff. Bluegrass has never been my forte, but those other three are some of my favourites.

    Just recently I bought this collection which includes all 20 songs found on Bear Family's Rockin' Rollin' Johnny Horton, plus eight more. His faux historical songs are good in moderation, but they don't showcase his talent to the fullest. Normally I'd always take a BF release over one from a public-domain label, but that's almost 50% more music. Who know, I might get Rockin' Rollin' if something really sucks about the one I ordered.

    Sure I had some Johnny Horton but after checking it looks like I don't, anyway I've quickly rectified that with a double disc collection from Columbia Legacy, the first disc is the one that interests me the most as it's mid fifties honky-tonk and it's mono recordings taken from the original master tapes. Disc 2 is the historical stuff and more all in glorious stereo. It's not Bear but it was only a fiver.
