Johnny Horton: Johnny Horton - I'm A Fishin' Man (DVD)

DVD with 24-page booklet, b&w, NTSC, regional code: 0, 28 tracks, playing time approx. 71 mns.

Never before seen performances by Johnny Horton. Rare recordings from collection of Jerry Hope. Ozark Jubilee Shows from the collection of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. A rare live concert.

When Bear Family began work on the Johnny Horton LP box sets back in the mid-1980s, just two videos traded hands among collectors: a grainy copy of 'I'm A Fishin' Man' and an 'Ed Sullivan Show' appearance. Now we have an embarrassment of riches. Finally, we see why Horton was, as his contemporaries said, a natural television performer. Amiable, good-looking, and breezily confident, he was ideal for what was then the new medium of television. Just the kind of guy you'd want to bring into your living room.

This DVD collects most of the known videotaped performances of Johnny Horton from very early in his career until just a few weeks before he was killed. There are 25 filmed performances and three bonus audio performances spanning the years from 1953 until 1960. He not only sings his biggest hits, North To Alaska, Johnny Reb, Sal's Got A Sugar Lip, Sink The Bismarck and of course The Battle Of New Orleans, but he also performs songs that won't be as familiar to collectors, likeElectrified Donkey, Be Honest With Me (as part of a trio with Eddy Arnold and Molly Bee), and I'm A Fishing Man. Even though there are no published interviews with Johnny Horton, on this DVD he talks with the hosts of the Ozark Jubilee show Red Foley, Bobby Lord, and Eddy Arnold. An essential complement to Bear Family's definitive history of Johnny Horton's recordings!

A NOTE ON FILM QUALITY: Bear Family has always made a sustained commitment to quality. This DVD was sourced from original films and kinescopes, now fifty or sixty years old. Some, especially those sourced from 'Jubilee USA' kinescopes, are not as clear as we would have liked, but they are the only known copies. We feel that their historic value outweighs the technical imperfections.

Fantastic DVD with great rare vision and sounds! Cannot do without

I am so very grateful to bear Family for issuing this fantastic DVD I have dreamed about for many many years. i am a big fan of the music of Johnny Horton and have collected every recording I could find. I have read his biography and was hoping that someday life footage would appear and be issued. There is some on Youtube, but this beats it all! I wish there would be more and there should be. I would buy it right away as I have bought 3 copies of this DVD, just don't want to lose it! There should be more like a 10 or 15 film from Johnny at the opening of Freedomland. I especially liked the few last songs where he is actually live on stage!!! But all the other TV appearances are just fine as well! Just get this DVD while it lasts and I am sure you will never regret it and would want more!!!

Ausgezeichnete Veröffentlichung

R & R Musikmagazin 5/2012 "Ein Booklet mit Details zu den Filmen und velen Farbfotos, u.a. vom Fischen mit Johnny Cash, runden diese ausgezeichnete Veröffentlichung ab."

Now Dig This 11/12 "This is not only a truly wonderful piece of musical history, it's very entertaining. For those who have discovered this man's music in later years, it stands as a testimony to his greatness as a writer and performer."
