Roy Acuff: The King Of Country Music (2-CD)

2-CD with 48-page booklet, 57 tracks. Playing time approx. 150 mns.

By the 1950s, Roy Acuff's crown was slipping. He wasn't the star that he had been, but he was still making great records as this collection of ultra-rare sides cut between 1953 and 1958 for Capitol, Decca and MGM shows. Roy was adapting to the changing face of country music, but still making music that was true to his original vision. He re-made some of his biggest hits, including Great Speckled Bird, Lonely Mound Of Clay, Wreck on The Highway, and Precious Jewel. He also recorded some surprisingly good new songs including Goodbye Mister Brown (with Kitty Wells) and I Closed My Heart's Door, which was as powerful a performance as any he ever made.

Roy Acuff

geb- 15. 9. 1903 in Maynardsville - Tennessee Record Labels: ARC, Melotone, Conqueror, Perfect, Okeh, Columbia, Vocalion, Harmony, Decca, MGM, Capitol, Hikkory, Rounder, Stetson Größter Hit: Wabash Cannonball (1942) Roy Acuff, Sänger, Fiddler und Komponist, gehört längst zu den legendären Gestalten der Country Music. Viele seiner Songs wurden zu Country-Evergreens, z. B. Great Speckled Bird, Wabash Cannonball, Wreck On The Highway, Fireball Mail, Night Train To Memphis und Pins And Needles.

1932 schloss sich Roy Acuff zunächst einer reisenden Medicine Show an. 1933 gründete er seine erste eigene Band, die Tennessee Crackerjacks, mit Clell Summey an der Dobro Gitarre, der 1938 durch Pete ,Bashful Brother Oswald Kirby abgelöst wurde. Aus den Tennessee Crakkerjacks wurden im Verlauf der ersten Jahre die bis heute berühmt gebliebenen Crazy Tennesseans und später die Smokey Mountain Boys. Acuff hatte seine ersten Engagements in Tennessee und Virginia, die ersten Radioauftritte bei den Stationen WROL und KNOX in Knoxville - Tennessee. 1936 folgten die ersten Schallplattenaufnahmen bei ARC, die später von Columbia übernommen wurde.

1938 stieß Roy Acuff zur Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, wo er dem ersten großen Star, Uncle Dave Macon, die Show stahl. Acuff wurde mit seinem rauen Mountainstil und dem bei den Smokey Mountain Boys immer präsenten und meist dominierenden Dobro Sound zu einer Attraktion und ist bis heute einer der beliebtesten Stars dieser weltberühmten Show geblieben. 1942 gründete Acuff zusammen mit dem Komponisten Fred Rose den Musikverlag Acuff-Rose, heute eines der wichtigsten Verlagshäuser im Business.

Der King Of Country Music, wie man Roy Acuff immer gerne genannt hat, verkaufte im Verlauf seiner über 50jährigen Karriere weit über 30 Millionen Schallplatten- sein größter Hit Wabash Cannonball wurde ein Millionseller. Besonders sehenswert ist Roy Acuffs Musikmuseum im Opryland Park von Nahville. 1962 bereits wurde Acuff in die Country Music Hall Of Fame aufgenommen.
