1-CD DigiPac (4-seitig) mit 36-seitigem Booklet, 30 Einzeltitel. Spieldauer ca. 73 Minuten. - Eine Legende, die im Verborgenen wirkte, gewürdigt von Buck Owens (er spielte ein komplettes Album mit Collins-Songs ein) und von Merle Haggard, der den Tribute-Song 'Leonard' schrieb und aufnahm. Collins gilt als einer der Pioniere des Honky-Tonk-Sounds aus Bakersfield! Es sind keine anderen Tommy-Collins-CDs auf dem Markt - außer Bear Familys umwerfendem Box-Set! Diese CD enthält die mega-seltene Debüt-Single 'Campus Boogie', weitere schnelle Hillbilly-Boogies und Honky-Tonk-Klassiker! - Tommy Collins gehört zu den Baumeistern des Bakersfield Sound. Unzählige Country-Künstler von der Westküste und aktuelle Alternative-Country-Stars haben darauf aufgebaut und den Sound zu einem der Eckpfeiler amerikanischer Musik gemacht. Collins hatte Hits als Interpret, darunter 1954 'You Better Not Do That'. Als seine Karriere Gestalt annahm, trat er zu einem anderen Glauben über - lange Zeit war nichts mehr von ihm zu hören. 1965 kehrte er zurück zur Musik, und er unterschrieb bei Columbia. Im Jahr darauf gelang ihm der Top-10-Hit I 'Can't Bite, Don't Growl', und in den folgenden Jahren gelang ihm eine Reihe weiterer Hits. - In den frühen Siebzigern schienen Collins' Karriere und Privatleben am Ende, eine Folge seiner Drogen- und Alkoholabhängigkeit. Das Songschreiben half ihm gesund zu werden; Merle Haggard nahm viele seiner Titel auf, darunter die 70s-Hits 'Carolyn' und 'The Roots Of My Raising'. Auch Haggards Tribute-Song für Collins, 'Leonard', wurde ein Hit. Nach dessen Veröffentlichung stand Collins erneut im Rampenlicht, er war wieder clean. Er schrieb weiterhin professionell Songs - sein größter Erfolg war 'New Patches', ein Top-10-Hit für Mel Tillis 1984.
1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 36-page booklet, 30 tracks. Playing time approx. 73 mns. - An underground legend celebrated by Buck Owens, who recorded a whole album of Tommy Collins' songs, and Merle Haggard, who wrote and recorded a tribute song 'Leonard'. One of the pioneers of the honky tonk sound of Bakersfield! There are no other Tommy Collins CDs available, except for Bear Family's exhaustive box set! Includes the incredible rare first single 'Campus Boogie', plus uptempo hillbilly boogies and honky tonk classics! - Tommy Collins helped to establish the Bakersfield Sound. Legions of West Coast country performers and current roots / alternative country stars have built on the sound, making it one of the cornerstones of American music. Collins scored several hits as a performer, including 'You Better Not Do That' in 1954. Just as Collins' career was taking off, he had a religious conversion. For several years, little was heard from him. He returned to music, and signed with Columbia in 1965. The following year, had a Top 10 hit with 'I Can't Bite, Don't Growl'. For the next few years, he had a string of hit singles. - By the early '70s, Collins' professional and personal life was on the verge of collapse, due to his increasing dependency on drugs and alcohol. He recovered by writing songs, many of them recorded by Merle Haggard, including the '70s hits 'Carolyn' and 'The Roots Of My Raising'. In 1981, Merle Haggard had a hit single with 'Leonard', his tribute to Collins. After the release of 'Leonard', the spotlight again turned to Collins, who was now sober. Tommy resumed professional songwriting and his most notable success was Mel Tillis' Top 10 1984 hit, 'New Patches'.
