Im Juli / August 1927 reiste VICTOR RECORDS zu Aufnahme-Sessions nach Bristol, Tennessee – ein entscheidender Moment in der Geschichte
der Country Music. Produzent Ralph Peer fand zwei Interpreten, die nationalen und internationalen Ruhm erlangten:
Jimmie Rodgers und The Carter Family. Es wurden jedoch bei den Bristol Sessions von 1927 und ’28 noch mehr als hundert weitere Aufnahmen gemacht: Da gab es Balladensänger, Wanderprediger, Stringbands, Gospelquartette, Mundharmonika-Virtuosen, Verkündiger, Bluesgitarristen und Geschichtenerzähler. Schnappschüsse traditioneller amerikanischer Musik, festgehalten in einer Zeit der schnellen Veränderungen: Bilder einer nahezu unwiderruflichen Vergangenheit, die in diesen großartigen Aufnahmen verewigt sind.
Die fünf CDs in dieser Box enthalten sämtliche erhalten gebliebenen Aufnahmen aus diesen Sessions, mit alternativen Takes. Das 120-seitige gebundene Begleitbuch im LP-Format enthält neu recherchierte Essays mit Hintergrundinformationen über die Sessions und die einzelnen Künstler, mit vielen seltenen und unveröffentlichten Fotos. Ebenfalls enthalten sind die kompletten Songtexte und eine detaillierte Diskografie, illustriert mit Reproduktionen der originalen Archivblätter mit den Aufnahmedaten.
Product Information
This is the foundation of country music! An unsurpassed storehouse of traditional American music, featuring the first recordings by the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers. The legendary sessions issued complete for the first and only time, including the ultra-rare follow-up sessions from 1928! -- The recording trip made by Victor Records to Bristol, Tennessee in July-August 1927 was a defining moment in country music. Producer Ralph Peer found two acts that acquired national and international fame: Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. But more than a hundred other recordings were made at the Bristol sessions of 1927 and '28. There were ballad singers, street evangelists, string bands, gospel quartets, harmonica virtuosos, Holiness preachers, blues guitarists and rural storytellers. A snapshot of rural American music was caught in an era of rapid change: pictures of a past almost beyond recall, but preserved for ever in these magnificent recordings. -- The five CDs in this set gather every surviving recording from these sessions, including alternative takes. The accompanying 120-page, LP-sized hardcover book contains newly researched essays on the background to the sessions and on the individual artists, with many rare and unpublished photographs. Also included are complete song lyrics and a detailed discography, illustrated with reproductions of the original recording sheets.
