1-CD mit 48-seitigem Booklet, 33 Einzeltitel. Spieldauer ca. 79 Minuten. -- Eine Neubewertung der Karriere von Little Joe Carson, dem Honky-Tonk-Sänger aus den 50er und 60er Jahren, war schon lange überfällig. Carson starb 1964 im Alter von nur 27 Jahren an den Folgen eines Autounfalls zu einem Zeitpunkt, als er mit Songs wie 'I Gotta Get Drunk (And I Shore Do Dread It)' und 'Helpless' erste größere Erfolge in den Charts verbuchen konnte. Obwohl er einer besten Sänger seiner Zeit war, ist Carson heute nahezu vergessen. Er hätte zu einem der besten Sänger aller Zeiten reifen können, hätte er nur lang genug gelebt! Er besaß das gewisse Etwas, das ihn von den Kollegen unterschied. Bereits mit sechzehn schrieb und nahm er seinen ersten erstaunlich überzeugenden Song mit dem Titel 'I Don’t Have A Contract With You' auf – und er hielt dieses hohe Niveau bis zu seiner letzten Aufnahme, einer bewegenden, perfekten Version von 'Fraulein'. In der Vergangenheit wurden nur vereinzelte Carson-Titel wiederveröffentlicht. Bear Family korrigiert dieses Versäumnis mit einer umfassenden CD-Ausgabe. Sie enthält alle kommerziellen Aufnahmen aus den Jahren 1953 bis 1964 für Labels wie Mercury, Capitol, D und Liberty. Hinzu kommen ein bislang unveröffentlichtes Master aus Carsons letzter Session und zahlreiche Titel, die er als Hörprobe aufgenommen hatte, bevor er 1956 seinen Vertrag bei Capitol unterschrieb.
1-CD with 48-page booklet, 33 tracks. Playing time approx. 79 mns. -- A reassessment of the career of 1950s-60s honky-tonk singer Little Joe Carson has long been overdue. Carson died at 27 following an automobile accident in 1964, just as he was starting to have major chart success with songs like 'I Gotta Get Drunk (And I Shore Do Dread It)' and 'Helpless'. For that reason, he's largely forgotten today. But he was one of the best country singers of his era and could have been one of the best of any era had he lived long enough. -- From the first notes he sang on record, at age sixteen on his own remarkably assured song 'I Don't Have A Contract With You', to his last recording, a moving dead-perfect rendering of the standard 'Fraulein', Joe Carson had an indefinable something that set him apart from most others. Pitifully little of his legacy has been reissued over the years. Bear Family has remedied that at last with this collection, which gathers all of Carson's commercial recordings from 1953 to his death ten years later. It includes not only every commercial release, for Mercury, Capitol, D and Liberty, but also includes an unissued master from his final session and several songs he cut as an audition prior to signing to Capitol in 1956.
