The Cold Hard Facts Of Life 3-CD
3-CD Digipac mit 60-seitigem Booklet, 70 Titeln, Spieldauer 177 Minuten. - Erstmals auf CD: sechs legendäre Konzeptalben, die den verstorbenen Country-Superstar Porter Wagoner zum Kult-Künstler machten - 'Confessions Of A Broken Man' (1966); 'Soul Of A Convict' (1967); 'The Cold Hard Facts Of Life' (1967); 'The Bottom Of A Bottle' (1968); 'The Carroll County Accident' (1969); und 'Down In The Alley Skid Row Joe' (1970) mit 70 packenden 'Songs und Rezitationen aus dem Leben', darunter so unvergessene 'Billboard'-Top-5-Hits wie 'Green, Green Grass Of Home'; 'Skid Row Joe'; 'The Cold Hard Facts Of Life' und 'The Carroll County Accident'. Ausführlicher Begleittext zu allen Alben und zu Wagoners Leben und Karriere. Der am 26.10.2007 gestorbene Porter Wagoner war schon lange bekannt als der schlaksige Sänger im Paillettenanzug, Symbolfigur für das 'alte Nashville' und seit vielen Jahren Mitglied der Grand Ole Opry. Ein jüngeres Publikum schätzte seine düsteren, alptraumhaften Konzeptalben, die er in den späten sechziger Jahren für RCA eingespielt hat. Wagoners bedrückende, düstere Songs unter anderem geschrieben von Bill Anderson, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton und Mel Tillis laufen über vor Verzweiflung, als wären es Szenen aus C-Filmen oder geschmacklosen Erzählungen. Seit sie erschienen sind, haben sie Kultcharakter bei Horror-Freaks, Fans alternativer Country Music und in der Gothic-Subkultur. Die Alben waren über zwei Jahrzehnte nicht mehr erhältlich, jetzt gibt es sie in hervorragendem Stereo, gezogen von den Original-Zweispurbändern./ 3-CD digipac with 60-page booklet, 70 tracks, playing time 177 mns.- First CD release of six best-selling concept albums that gave the late country music superstar Porter Wagoner a cult following (please see German review for album titles). Features a rogue's gallery of murderers, philanderers, depressives, death-row inmates, unrepentant barflies, panhandling winos and other losers. Includes extensive notes covering these fascinating albums and Wagoner's life and career. Porter Wagoner died October 26, 2007 after a brief illness. Mainstream audiences best knew the lanky, rhinestone-suited singer as a symbol of 'old Nashville' and a longtime member of The Grand Ole Opry. But a younger audience embraced him for the dark, nightmarish concept albums he made for RCA Victor during the late sixties. With songs penned by such writers as Bill Anderson, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Mel Tillis, Wagoner's mind-numbing country noir sagas are filled with as much despair as any low-budget grindhouse movie or cheesy paperback novel. Since their original release, these albums gained a cult following among the psychotronic set, alt-country fans and the Goth subculture. After being out of print for more than two decades, they're available once again in glorious stereo from the original two-track mixdown tapes.
