Bill Anderson: The First 10 Years, 1956-1966 (4-CD Deluxe Box Set)
The first comprehensive anthology spotlighting Bill Anderson, the most successful singer-songwriter during the Nashville Sound's classic era. Contains 21 'Billboard' country chart hits, including such favorites as Po' Folks, Mama Sang A Song, Still, Bright Lights And Country Music, I Love You Drops, and I Got The Fever. Includes everything from Anderson's first eight Decca albums plus seven non-LP 'B' sides and three unissued studio tracks. Five duets with Jan Howard, including the chart-toppingFor Loving You. Features the first reissue of Bill Anderson's rare, early TNT singles including the rocking Take Meand the premiere recording of his enduring honky-tonk anthem City Lights. Includes twelve demos of Anderson originals from the singer's private collection, among them a duet featuring a teen-aged Dolly Parton.
With a career dating back to the mid-fifties, Bill Anderson is probably the most successful singer-songwriter in country music history. A member of the Grand Ole Opry for more than a half-century, he remains an engaging performer, a prolific writer and one of the industry's most respected elder statesmen.
His best-selling Decca recordings of the late fifties and through the sixties were benchmarks in the emerging Nashville Sound. Outside of indifferently assembled 'hits' packages, these sides have never been properly reissued on compact disc - until now. Assembled with the singer's co-operation, this four-CD compilation gathers every surviving master recording from 1956 through 1966, plus an alternate version of '3 A.M.' The set includes Bill Anderson's first single, released while he was a 19-year-old University of Georgia student.
For those who only know the singer for the intimate, soft-spoken vocals and recitations that landed him the nickname 'Whispering Bill,' these early sides are a revelation, a diverse mix ranging from rockabilly balladry to Texas-style shuffles to unapologetic honky-tonk to Nashville pop country. The set also includes twelve demos from Bill Anderson's private collection, including such now-celebrated songs as
I Love You Drops, The Cold, Hard Facts Of Life, Once A Day, Slippin' Away, and The Lord Knows I'm Drinkin'. A young Dolly Parton duets with Bill Anderson on If It's All The Same To You.
This collection includes a detailed biography of Bill Anderson's remarkable career through 1966, illustrated with photos and memorabilia from the singer's personal archive.

Bill Anderson
Die 1960er Jahre könnten in der Country- und Western-Musik beinahe als Anderson-Dekade bezeichnet werden. Es war eine seltene Woche, in der ein Anderson-Song, der entweder von ihm selbst oder von einem anderen großen Künstler aufgenommen wurde, nicht in den nationalen Country-Hit-Charts war. Manchmal waren zwei oder drei Anderson-Nummern gleichzeitig in den Charts.
Irwin Stambler und Grelun Landon
Enzyklopädie der Volks-, Country- und westlichen Musik", 1969
Aus heutiger Sicht ist es leicht, die Bedeutung von Bill Anderson in diesem turbulenten Jahrzehnt der amerikanischen Geschichte und Countrymusik zu übersehen. Die selbstgemachten Kritiker, die die Popkultur verfolgen, zitieren Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Buck Owens und Johnny Cash als die wichtigsten Künstler dieser Jahre. Während Haggards und Lynns Flugbahnen nach oben kippten, ging Jones durch populäre, aber meist vergessene Hits. Owens Karriere stieg und fiel, während Cash fiel und stieg. Aber Anderson kam hoch hinaus und blieb dort.
Während dieses Jahrzehnts blieb Anderson ein beständiger Top 10 Country-Singles-Künstler, dessen Platten selten bis weit in die siebziger Jahre zurückreichen. Sechs dieser Singles kamen in die Pop-Charts. Ein Meisterkommunikator, Anderson wurde im Alter von 23 Jahren in die Grand Ole Opry aufgenommen. 1964 gründete er die Po' Boys, eine der großen Back-up-Bands dieser Zeit. Im folgenden Jahr lancierte er'The Bill Anderson Show', eine Low-Key-Show mit einer halben Stunde Laufzeit in den wichtigsten Fernsehmärkten im ganzen Land. Als einer der produktivsten Songwriter der Branche schrieb er für Porter Wagoner, Jim Reeves, Lefty Frizzell, Faron Young, Roy Drusky und Connie Smith.
Heute ist Anderson einer der angesehenen älteren Staatsmänner der Countrymusik. Jüngere Künstler suchen ihn immer noch nach seinem neuen Material, während andere seinen umfangreichen Backkatalog nach möglichen Hits durchsuchen. Anderson's beliebte'Country Family Reunion' Konzerte und Videos bieten eine entspannende Plattform für seine Helden und Gleichaltrigen und ziehen ein Publikum an, das seine Leidenschaft für Nashvilles goldene Ära teilt.
Außerhalb von oberflächlichen, gleichgültig zusammengestellten'Hits' Paketen ist die Musik, die er während der'Anderson Decade' aufgenommen hat, nicht wieder aufgelegt worden. Um sicher zu sein, seine intimen frühen Decca-Liebesballaden appellierten nie an die überwiegend männliche Plattensammler-Bruderschaft - die Menge, die die Owenses, Haggards, Lynns, Joneses und Cashes vergöttert. Aber der Sänger hat mehr zu bieten als die sentimentalen Balladen und Halbrezitationen, die ihm den Spitznamen'Whispering Bill' einbrachten. Sein TNT und Decca Katalog enthält Rockabilly, Texas Shuffles, Nashville Pop, Saga Songs, Power Balladen und einen Hauch von Bluegrass. Alle sind überfällig für die Wiederentdeckung.
Die Familie Anderson stammte ursprünglich aus Pike County, Georgia. 1920 verkaufte James William Anderson, Sr. seine Farm, um eine Versicherungsagentur in Griffin, Georgia, zu eröffnen. Das Unternehmen entwickelte sich zur Middle Georgia Mutual Insurance Co., die heute noch in Betrieb ist. An den Wochenenden spielte der ältere Anderson mit seinen Brüdern als Anderson Family Band, hauptsächlich Square Dance und Griffin Social Events. Seine Frau, Elizabeth Williams Anderson, spielte Salongitarre, aber nur zu ihrem eigenen Vergnügen.
Ihr einziges Kind, James William Anderson, Jr., erbte die Arbeitsmoral seiner Eltern, wenn nicht ihr musikalisches Talent. 1933 war er Korrespondent der neu gegründeten Dun & Bradstreet in Atlanta und sammelte Finanzdaten über regionale Unternehmen für die Kreditprüfung. Am 27. September 1933 heiratete er Elizabeth'Lib' Smith, deren Vater der ehemalige Pastor der Ersten Methodistischen Kirche von Griffin war. Kurz nach der Hochzeit verlegte Dun & Bradstreet ihn nach Meridian, Mississippi. Drei Jahre später verlegte die Agentur ihn nach Columbia, South Carolina, wo das erste Kind des Paares, James William Anderson III, am 1. November 1937 geboren wurde. Eine Tochter, Mary Elizabeth, kam viereinhalb Jahre später.
Von Anfang an war der junge Billy Anderson von fast allem angezogen, was er im kleinen Philco-Radio der Familie hörte, insbesondere von den Live-Country-Musiksendungen, die über WIS, Kolumbiens ältesten und größten Sender, ausgestrahlt wurden. Seine Lieblingsnummer war Byron Parker and His Hillbillies, die in drei täglichen Shows zu sehen waren. Der Junge hörte aufmerksam zu, als der silberzüngige Parker, der sich "The Old Hired Hand" nannte, die Vorteile des Mehls, der Reifen und der Abführmittel seiner Sponsoren lobte. Parkers Tonhöhen wurden von der Musik und der breiten Komödie seiner erfahrenen Streicherband unterbrochen, darunter der Geiger Homer'Pappy' Sherrill, der Bassist/Comedian Julian'Greasy' Medlin und DeWitt'Snuffy' Jenkins, deren innovatives fünfsaitiges Banjo-Picking die wegweisenden Bluegrass-Stylisten Earl Scruggs und Don Reno inspirierte.
Die Nachbarn der Andersons hatten eine Tochter, die als Empfangsdame des WIS arbeitete. Als Billy fünf oder sechs Jahre alt war, nahm sie ihn mit zu einer Live-Übertragung von Parkers Morgensendung. "Byron Parker kam zu mir in die Ecke des Studios und sprach mit mir, fragte mich nach meinem Namen und stellte mir dann einige von ihnen vor...."

Very good beginning
As always, Bear Family Box set never disapoint you. I know I got quite a few of them! When you reissue a decade in a box, and take all the artists recordings in that decade, one can hope for another box for the next decade, and that way you end up with all the artists recordings. This is the best way to collect records! Starting with the beginning. As for Bill Anderson, well; no he was not a great singer, but a very good songwriter, and the whole Nashville sound to it, makes it all allright! So if there should ever come another box, with the next decade, I'm in!
Don't know what this means
I only knew Bill Anderson from his excellent hit songs. In fact I only cam across him through British comedian/crooner Ken Dodd who, in the 60s, put out 3 singles in a row, all of Bill Anderson songs, (Still, 8x10 and Happiness).
On CD1 the selection of Bill's 50s recordings are interesting, particularly the early version of City Lights but, in my opinion, Bill really came into his own during the 60s and the latter part of this CD contains several of his hit songs that still sound good today.
CD2 contains several cover versions. I always like to hear how other artists interpret well-known songs and Bill has chosen particularly well as his versions are much smoother than the hits and stand up well against them.
Two songs on this CD that I had not heard before but which I enjoyed very much were Me and Restless.
CD3 has Bill's versions of respectively Connie Smith's and Al Martino's hits Once A Day and Think I'll Go Somewhere (And Cry Myself To Sleep).
CD4 ends with 12 demos, including a duet with Dolly Parton and another Connie Smith hit, Nobody But A Fool. There is also a nice version of this song by Dean Martin on his LP The Hit Sound Of DM.
Overall, this set demonstrates what a supreme songwriter and performer Bill is, Quality all the way through.
Bill Anderson is Nashville's most successful and consistent songwriter of all time. This four-CD set covers the first 10 years of his recordings..This is a stunning release that is highly recommended.
