| MONTANA SLIM / I'M HITTIN' THE TRAIL (5593) |
|
Nova Scotia born Wilf Carter (1904-1996) took the stage name of "Montana Slim" to become Canada's most successful country singer. Billed as "The Yodelling Cowboy", he sang and yodelled in a style influenced by Jimmie Rodgers. During a long career he wrote more than 500 songs (including all but four of the present selection). December 18th marks his centenary. Hittin' The Trail brings together Montana Slim's 26 best from the 30s and 40s from his earliest and biggest hit, the 1933 My Swiss Moonlight Lullaby through to his The Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me, recorded in 1950 with The Big Hole Bronco Busters. Most of his repertoire is campfire-and-roundup flavoured, plaintive ballads and yodels most agreeably performed to his own expert guitar accompaniment.

| VARIOUS ARTISTS / OLD MOUNTAIN: STRINGBAND SONGS & TUNES (5577) |

Old Mountain Stringband Songs & Tunes is Living Era's definitive single CD collection of the appealing country music genre that permeated the soundtrack of the hugely acclaimed film Cold Mountain. The irresistible combination of fiddles and banjos is one indelible aspect of America's musical heritage that all can enjoy. The heyday of country stringband music was captured in recordings of the late 20s and early 30s, when many of the finest practitioners were in their prime. Tony Russell has carefully chosen representative tracks by each of the old masters, including some familiar names - Gid Tanner & his Skillet Lickers, Uncle Dave Macon, Fiddlin' John Carson, Charlie Poole, Seven Foot Dilley, Georgia Yellow Hammers, Grayson & Whitter and many others largely forgotten today.

| LEFTY FRIZZELL / IF YOU'VE GOT THE MONEY (5546) |
|
William ³Lefty² Frizzell (b.1928) was a unique figure and one of the most colourful that Country Music ever produced.

| WEBB PIERCE / THE WANDERING BOY (5662) |
|
Louisiana-born Webb Pierce (1921-1991) was the top Country star of the 50s bar none. Not even Hank Williams, Eddy Arnold or Hank Snow made quite his impact on the charts during that decade. He had nine consecutive No.1s from 1953/6 (and 38 consecutive Top 10 placings), and spent 111 weeks at the very top. "The Wondering Boy" was blessed with a fine singing voice, a charismatic performing style, and an uncanny knack of picking songs that immediately caught on. More And More Webb Pierce offers just that: all the biggest hits of his vintage period. All 30 tracks featured in the Country Top Ten between 1951 and 1956, a dozen of them reaching No.1.

| SLIM WHITMAN / INDIAN LOVE CALL (5627) |
|
With that high-pitched tenor and characteristic yodel, and backed by his own crying steel guitar, 'America's Favourite Folsksinger' Slim Whitman was later hailed foremost middle-aged heart-throb. The first Country & Western artist to attain truly international stardom, he was much more than a crossover performer in the accepted sense of that term, however, and during a career spanning more than 30 years he readily embraced many styles, blithely adapting his easy-going - and highly marketable - style to a diversity of pop and romantic ballads.
