Janie Fricke: It Ain't Easy - The Complete Hits (2-CD)

(Real Gone Music) 41 tracks

Born on a farm in Indiana, Janie Fricke came up in the music business the old-fashioned, dues-payin way. First came commercial jingles (Red Lobster for the seafood lover in you was hers), then a move to Nashville, where she became an in-demand background vocalist for the likes of Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrell, Crystal Gayle, Ronnie Milsap, Lynn Anderson, Tanya Tucker, Conway Twitty, and Eddie Rabbitt.

But it was a line she sang (Shut out the light and lead me) in Johnny Duncans hit Stranger that proved to be her breakthrough, leading to her signing a recording contract with Columbia in 1977. But still, chart success was slow in coming, until producer Billy Sherrill, recognizing Janies uncanny ability to wring every possible emotion out of a lyric, recast her as a ballad singer. The result was absolute chart domination, as Janie scored six number one hits (Dont Worry Bout Me Baby, It Aint Easy Bein Easy, Heartache (Looking for a Place to Happen, Lets Stop Talkin About It, and Your Hearts Not in It) in the space of two short years (1982-1983), landing two Country Music Association awards for Female Vocalist of the Year in the process.

Now, Real Gone Music is proud to present all of Janie Frickes chart hits in one place. The two-CD set It Aint EasyThe Complete Hits presents 41 songs spanning the years 1977 to 1989, including not just her solo smashes but her chart-topping duets with Charlie Rich (On My Knees), Merle Haggard (A Place to Fall Apart and her later hits under the name Janie Frickie (adopted because she got tired of folks mispronouncing her last name).

And, as a special treat, Janie herself penned the liner notes, which are accompanied by previously unseen photos. A long-overdue, comprehensive look at a true country great (whos still out there wowing audiences today)!

Sie sang an den örtlichen Kaffeehäusern, High School Events, sowie ihren Weg durch das College, wo sie ihr Studium an der Indiana University in der Grundschule erhielt. Fricke wählte dann eine musikalische Karriere, die in Memphis, Dallas und Los Angeles arbeitete.

Dort, als einer der erfolgreichsten Jingle-Sänger der Marketing-Branche, wurde ihre Stimme Millionen als die Stimme für solche Werbe-Riesen wie United Airlines, Coca-Cola, 7-Up und Red Lobster bekannt. Ihre Stimme führte sie zum Singen für Country-Künstler wie Loretta Lynn, Eddie Rabbitt, Crystal Gayle, Ronnie Milsap, Barbara Mandrell, Mel Tillis, Johnny Duncan und andere.

Sie hat auch das Privileg gegeben, auf Alben für Charlie Rich und Elvis Presley zu singen, nach ihrem Tod. Es war eine Linie in Johnny Duncans einziger Fremder, der letztlich die meisten Aufmerksamkeit für Fricke gewann. Als sie 1977 die Spitze der Charts trafen, wollten die Fans wissen, wer die Linie sang: "Halten Sie das Licht aus und führen Sie mich ..." Die Musikindustrie bemerkte, wie ihre Stimme bei den Duetten mit Merle Haggard, Moe Bandy, gehört wurde Und andere, die sie zu ihrem ersten großen Plattenvertrag führen.
