Nothing But Good (52-62) 5CD-Box&84-Page Book
Hank Ballard and The Midnighters war die erste professionelle Gruppe,
die ein junger James Brown auf der Bühne sah. Er war derart
fasziniert, dass er sagte, in nicht ferner Zukunft würde er ebenfalls
vor Publikum auftreten, um genau das zu machen. - Diese herrliche Box
im LP-Format enthält sämtliche für die Labels Federal und King
zwischen 1954 und 1962 eingespielten Aufnahmen vom Mitglied der 'Rock
'n' Roll Hall Of Fame' und seiner Vocal Group. Die fünf randvollen
CDs präsentieren unveröffentlichte Juwelen, alternative Versionen,
bislang nicht wiederveröffentlichte Raritäten sowie eine Demoversion
seines Hits 'The Twist' - plus den Hit selbst. Selbstverständlich
liefern wir auch die Original-Hitfassungen all seiner Erfolge!
Lesestoff bieten die ausführlichen Linernotes von Bill Dahl! - Lange
bevor die Temptations, Four Tops und Spinners Detroit zu einem
Zentrum für Soul Music und männliche Gesangsgruppen machte, brachte
jene Stadt Hank Ballard & The Midnighters hervor, die erste national
erfolgreiche R&B-Gruppe aus der Motor City. Bislang gab und gibt es
nichts Vergleichbares zu der neuen, alles umfassenden Bear Family Box
der Gruppe. Obwohl Hank den Blues mit unglaublicher Intensität
schmettern konnte (wie bei diesen Aufnahmen), so war Ballards Gruppe
damit beschäftigt, den Laden zum Rocken zu bringen. Die Midnighters
waren eine der ersten Vokalgruppen, die mit eigener Band Aufnahmen
machten, zunächst unter der Regie des mörderischen Gitarristen Cal
Green aus Houston, dessen Soli häufig umwerfend waren. - Erstmals
wurde das musikalische Vermächtnis des verstorbenen Mitglieds der
Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame mit derartig liebevoller Sorgfalt und
Respekt behandelt, und niemals zuvor konnte man die Aufnahmen von
Hank Ballard & The Midnighters in dieser Qualität hören!
English:
Hank
Ballard and The Midnighters were the first professional vocal group
young James Brown ever witnessed in person. He vowed one day soon
he'd be onstage doing the very same thing. Our retrospective contains
everything the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer and his vocal group cut
for the Federal and King labels from 1954 to 1962! Five jam-packed
discs include unissued gems, alternate takes, unreissued rarities,
and a demo version of 'The Twist' as well as the classic hit! It's
also featuring all the original hit versions, and comes with
comprehensive liner notes from Bill Dahl! - Long before The
Temptations, Four Tops, and Spinners made Detroit ground zero for
soulful male vocal groups, the city spawned Hank Ballard & The
Midnighters, the Motor City's first nationally successful R&B group.
Though Hank could belt the blues with livewire intensity (and does
here), Ballard's group was primarily concerned with rocking the
house. They were one of the first vocal groups to record with their
own band, initially led by blistering Houston guitarist Cal Green,
whose solos are frequently mind-boggling. - Never has the recorded
legacy of the late Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer been treated with such
loving care and respect, and never have he and his group sounded
better!
