After many, many requests, we're finally doing a definitive year-by-year country series! And it won't stop when the music is in copyright, either! The most luxuriously packaged single CDs we've ever done! The history of country music told year-by-year from 1945-1970. The first six volumes are complete, 1945-1950. The hits! The classic performances! The truly influential recordings! Painstakingly restored sound! The series is compiled an annotated by Grammy winning Colin Escott. The country series has been compiled with today's fans in mind. Yes, the big hits are there, but so are the classic performances that weren't necessarily big hits at the time, but became influential in the years ahead. Every volume has incredibly detailed behind-the-scenes stories, fabulously rare photos, and an ongoing history of country music set against the backdrop of the broader American music business. Definitive 'You bet!'
1947 kicks off with Tex Williams #1 pop and country smash Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! That Cigarette, and includes more classics by Eddy Arnold, Roy Acuff (the original Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain), Ernest Tubb, Bob Wills, Moon Mullican, Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, Charlie Monroe, and the Delmores, as well as Billy Hughes' fabulously rare Cocaine Blues and one of Chet Atkins' first solo hits.
