Perhaps it has something to do with the Bear Family CD being released in 1993, while the Ace release is from 2010...?
See this movietrailer from 1983.About 34 seconds in the movie you can hear the song "I got a rocket in my pocket" without disc noise.
I've always suspected that it's not at all uncommon for these terms to appear in close proximity to each other in the same sentence. Sort of like "peanut butter" and "jelly".
Champion Jack Dupree's Rocks CD came in the other day. Some great proto-rock scorchers like the one below, my only issue being with the several talking/conversation-style blues tracks which are entertaining but don't really rock. Wonder if we can ever look forward to a Champion Jack box, at least of his 40's and 50's recordings... Also ordered entries by The Cadillacs and Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. Check out this Cadillacs tune which sounds like Bunker "The Girl Can't Dance" Hill with a vocal group: THE CADILLACS - Holy Smoke Baby [Josie 842] 1958 Luckily mine didn't cost THAT much.
Are there any other good Marty Robbins compilations on CD that include this song? I already own Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs and Essential 1951-1982, so I think the 4-CD set you mentioned might be a bit too much for my needs (and would duplicate a lot of the tracks I already have). But that song is great!
Definitely. What a great song which was written by Bobby Sykes. Bobby was one of Marty's backup singers along with Jim Glaser of The Glaser Brothers. To get this song, I'd recommend the twofer on Morello/Cherry Red which contains the "El Paso City" album in its entirety.
Here is a great 2 disc set.Got cowboy ballads not included in those you got. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Drifter-Sa...pID=61mJfs5sNPL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Nat Stuckey "Mental Revenge" Nat Stuckey "Got Leaving On Her Mind" Nat Stuckey - I Used It All On You Nat Stuckey - What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Made A Loser Out Of Me)
In other non-Bear related news as we do in this thread I picked up a sealed copy of this the other day for just over a tenner, pretty pleased with it, I’m not a massive Waylon fan so stuff like the Live expanded and Dreaming My Dreams (Hoff mastered) and the MFSL disc pretty much make up my collection. This slots in nicely and fills a few gaps of this period. Oh yeah I’ve The German issue SACD too of 60s stuff which is pretty good.
Cochran was far less prolific as a recording artist than as a songwriter, hard to imagine his complete recordings filling up more than three discs.
Be interesting to see what they can come up with, there's a few albums, I haven't checked singles and I guess there are various isolated tracks and maybe some transcription/radio songs. There's so little of his stuff available on CD, in fact the best part of nothing, that it would be good to anything of a set however limited in content.
Many behind-the-scenes classic country songwriters fall into that camp. Harlan Howard made a handful albums and singles throughout the 60's and 70's, Curly Putman made two records for ABC, Cindy Walker's recorded output consists of one album from 1964. Don't think any of Harlan's recordings are on CD.
This is a great collection if you can find it, but if Bear do what Bear do, you wont have to! Great songs, Great recordings.
This was my first Waylon CD set back in the day! It's a great collection, and gave us fans a bunch of songs at that time, were unavailable on CD. Fond memories of this one..... and I paid 40 dollars for it when it came out!
