Original master recordings of Country Hits 1956-69 plus answer/novelty versions by Ben Colder (Sheb Wooley) 1962-73 including all lyrics. Superb Set of great music & great fun!
Sheb Wooley was a pop singer, a country singer, a television actor ('Rawhide'series), a movie star ('High Noon'), and a comedian. He covered so many bases, he needed more than one name. His comedy records were issued under the name Ben Colder, and rather than just do a CD of parodies, Bear Family has gone the whole hog and included the original versions too (just in case you forgot them, you don't need to go looking for them).
For example Rex Allen's Don't Go Near The Indians is followed by Ben Colder's Don't Go Near The Eskimos, and Johnny Cash's Ballad Of A Teenage Queen is followed by Ben Colder's Ballad Of A Mean Old Queen; Burl Ives' A Little Bitty Tear is followed swiftly by Ben Colder's A Little Bitty Steer; Johnny Preston's Running Bear is followed by Ben Colder's Running Bare; and Jeannie C. Riley's Harper Valley PTA is followed by Ben Colder's Harper Valley PTA (Later The Same Day). There's much more, but you get the idea. A musical treasure-chest. Seventy minutes later, you'll be wondering whatever happened to country music's sense of humour!
