Defiantly and unapologetically country, Acuff’s roots were in Appalachian music, but during the 1940s, he became one of the nation’s top stars, touring ceaselessly, appearing in movies, and minting hit after hit. Later in life, his achievement earned him the distinction of becoming the first living inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
He also starred on the Grand Ole Opry from 1938 until a few weeks before his death in 1992.
Roy Acuff’s ARC-Columbia recordings are one of the cornerstones of tradition-based American music.
These nine CDs comprise every surviving “take” of every surviving recording he made for ARC/Columbia. A total of 228 performances. A bonus DVD includes the complete Grand Ole Opry movie from 1940.
The recordings feature stellar work from Acuff’s Smoky Mountain Boys, including Clell ‘Cousin Jody’ Summey, Tommy Magness, Tommy Jackson, Benny Martin, and of course Pete ‘Bashful Brother Oswald’ Kirby. The Smoky Mountain Boys’ 1948 instrumental LP, ‘Old Time Barn Dance,’ is included complete as well.

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.
Amazing Box Set
Fantastic quality!
Received this box set today and it is a very impressive package. The quality of the recordings is excellent. I've never heard better transfers from this material. The book included is very well done. Happy that it included his first film. Would have liked to have seen one or two more of those. All in all, I'm very pleased. My only complaint is that if you are going to go to the effort to create such a great package, why would you include such negative liner notes from one of the authors? The material was interesting to read, but felt the author could have kept his personal judgment to himself. I met Mr. Acuff once, and will never forget him telling me "I hope I never do anything to make you think any less of me." Not many performers would say such a thing, and I'm sure he meant it.
