Hank Thompson - And His Brazos Valley Boys (12-CD Deluxe Box Set) - Classic Country Artists
12-CD Box (LP-Format) mit 84-seitigem gebundenem Buch, 329 Einzeltitel. Spieldauer ca. 856 Minuten.
Exemplare der 1996er-Box von Hank Thompson & The Brazos Valley Boys sind immer wieder in Auktionen aufgetaucht und wechselten dort zu Preisen von bis zu 500 Dollar (!) den Besitzer. Prima, aber nur dann, wenn man gerade mal 500 Dollar übrig hatte... Und jetzt die wirklich gute Nachricht für alle, die sich die Box bei ihrer Erstveröffentlichung nicht besorgt haben: Wir fanden in unserem Lager noch 500 Begleitbücher zur Box und haben daraufhin 500 Exemplare der Box selbst nachpressen lassen. Die Box ist also wieder lieferbar! Aber dran denken: Früher Vogel fängt den Wurm, wer auch diesmal zu spät kommt, den bestrafen neue Auktionen! Also: Zugreifen, bevor der Preis wieder auf astronomische 500 Dollar klettert!
Zu Beginn seiner Karriere nahm Hank Thompson Honky Tonk Music im Stil von Ernest Tubb auf. Mit diesem Sound bescherte er kleinen Schallplattenfirmen regionale Hits. Nachdem er 1947 bei Capitol einen Vertrag unterschrieben hatte, ließen große Hits nicht lange auf sich warten und E.T. persönlich führte Hank im Jahre 1949 bei der Opry ein. Hank fand jedoch schnell heraus, dass er etwas anderes wollte, ging zurück nach Texas und stellte eine dynamische Besetzung seiner Brazo Valley Boys zusammen. Unter der Leitung von Billy Gray war es nun eine Western Swing Band, die tanzbare Musik zu Hanks Honky Tonk-Gesang lieferte ein Konzept, das George Strait 30 Jahre später erneut mit Leben erfüllte und eine überaus erfolgreiche Annäherung der beiden miteinander verwandten texanischen Stile bot. Das Ergebnis waren wegweisende Hits wie The Wild Side Of Life , Rub-A-Dub-Dub , Wake Up, Irene , Honky Tonk Girl , Wildwood Flower und Squaws Along The Yukon .
Neben Hanks ausdrucksstarkem Gesang waren die Steelguitar-Virtuosen Lefty Nason (der Mann, der den einmaligen 'Hank-Thompson-Steel-Sound' entwickelte), Curly Chalker, Bobby Garrett und Bobbie White zu hören. An ausgezeichneten Fiddlern wirkten u.a. Curly Lewis, Keith Coleman und Billy Armstrong mit, als Gitarristen Hanks Freund Merle Travis und gelegentlich Joe Maphis. Diese 12-CD-Edition präsentiert sowohl die gesamten Aufnahmen von Thompson aus den Jahren 1946/47 für Globe und Bluebonnet als auch sämtliche von 1947-64 für Capitol entstandenen Titel.
Außerdem enthält diese Box alle drei Live-LPs, darunter 'Hank Thompson At The Golden Nugget' von 1961, das erste Live-Album von einem Solo-Countrysänger überhaupt! Die Edition enthält ein 84-seitiges gebundenes Buch mit seltenen Fotos und Erinnerungsstücken aus Thompsons privatem Archiv, eine komplette Diskografie und eine Biografie auf neuestem Stand von Rich Kienzle.
