(1-CD Digipack mit 28-seitigem Booklet, 25 Titel, Spieldauer: 66: 42) Neues von einem der bedeutendsten Country-Künstler der Musikgeschichte! Mit bekannten Hits wie North To Alaska, All For The Love Of A Girl, When It's Springtime In Alaska sowie vielen unterschätzten Top-Nummern! -- Ursprünglich waren Balladen Lieder, die eine Geschichte erzählen ' bis der Begriff plötzlich auch für langsame Liebeslieder verwendet wurde. Johnny Horton war ein Meister von beidem. Bear Family hat sein Gesamtwerk in Form zweier gigantischer Boxen veröffentlicht und dazu eine CD mit seinen besten Rock 'n' Roll-Aufnahmen. Mit dieser neuen Einzel-CD richten wir den Fokus auf Hortons Balladen und unterstreichen damit seine Extraklasse als Sänger. Die Titelzusammenstellung stammt von Richard Bennett, der schon Emmylou Harris produziert hat und gegenwärtig mit Mark Knopfler arbeitet. Bennet sagt: -Hortons Stimme war mächtig, ansteckend und angenehm zugleich, sie lief fast über vor Charisma und Persönlichkeit. Er wurde schon immer für seine rockenden Temponummern und den Top-Hit 'Battle Of New Orleans' gelobt und gefeiert ' weniger erinnert man sich daran, welch bedeutender Balladensänger er war. Oft sind es die Rückseiten seiner Singles gewesen, auf denen die gefühlvollen Balladen versteckt waren, einige andere wurden irgendwo auf seinen LP untergebracht. Genau diese überhörten Schätze aber sind es, aus denen die aktuelle CD zusammengestellt wurde.
BCD 16384 (1-CD digipack with 28-page booklet, 25 tracks, playingtime: 66: 42) A new slant on one of the greatest country artists of all time! Some well-known hits'North To Alaska, All For The Love Of A Girl, When It's Springtime In Alaska'plus many overlooked gems!-- Originally, a 'ballad' was a story song, and then it became shorthand for a slow love song. Johnny Horton was the master of both sorts of 'ballads. ' Bear Family has issued everything that Johnny Horton ever recorded on two monumental boxed sets, and we have also issued the best of his rock'n'roll recordings. Now, on this exclusive single CD collection, we've focused upon his ballads, and emphasized just what a great singer he was. The set was compiled by Richard Bennett, who has produced Emmylou Harris and currently works with Mark Knopfler. As Bennett writes, -Horton's voice was big, infectious and friendly, bursting with charisma and personality. While he is much admired for the rocking up-tempo tunes and the mega hit 'Battle Of New Orleans,' Johnny Horton is less remembered as the great ballad singer he was. Very often the flip side of the record was where the heartfelt ballad was hiding or maybe a few would turn up tucked into a long playing album. It's these overlooked treasures that make up this set.-
