This Is It!


In 1981, we at Bear Family issued our first Johnny Horton LP. It set us upon a journey that ends here with the absolutely guaranteed definitive Johnny Horton set. This is the set that an artist of Johnny Horton's stature deserves, and a set that was unimaginable in 1981. Some know Johnny Horton for his rockabilly records like Honky Tonk Man, One Woman Man, Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor, Wild One, etc. Some know him for his saga songs like North To Alaska and of course Battle Of New Orleans. They're all here, of course, but there's so much more.

All of Johnny Horton's early recordings are here, including his first single from 1950 … a single so rare that only one copy is known to exist. We didn't even know about it until a couple of years back. Then there are the Cormac, Abbott, Mercury, SESAC, and Columbia recordings, all restored to pristine sound quality. The Abbott overdubs have been included as well as all of Johnny Horton's known demo recordings. Johnny Horton was a songwriter for American Music, and we've gathered all the songwriting demos for American with many others that have recently come to light.

Then there are the books: two 288-page hardcover books. The first is a biography by Colin Escott that represents a considerable update of the 1990 book that accompanied our first Johnny Horton boxes. Hundreds of new photos have come to light, too, and we've included those. The second book is an incredible rarity. In the months after Johnny Horton's tragic death, his mother wrote a memoir of him in longhand. It's not a sophisticated work, but it's touching and full of so much details that we never knew. In his mother's words, Johnny Horton lives again for us.

That's why we say, This Is It!

Johnny Horton, auch als 'The Singing Fisherman' bekannt geworden, wuchs in Tyler - Texas auf. Er arbeitete einige Zeit in der Fischindustrie in Alaska und Kalifornien, wurde Mitte der 50er Jahre Mitglied der Louisiana Hayride Show in Shreveport und hatte 1956 seinen ersten Hit. Mit seinem zweiten No. 1 Hit 'The Battle Of New Orleans' erregte Johnny Horton 1959 auch Aufsehen bei den Pop Musik Fans und schaffte damit einen Million Seller. Ein Jahr später, 1960, kam Johnny Horton bei einem Autounfall ums Leben. Er war verheiratet mit Billie Jean Williams, geb. Jones, der Witwe von Hank Williams.

Johnny Horton

Man kann nicht sagen, wie weit Johnny Horton gegangen wäre oder wie er heute denken würde, wenn er nicht in den frühen Morgenstunden des 5. November 1960 gestorben wäre. Dieser tödliche Autounfall sorgte dafür, dass man sich an ihn wie an so viele erinnern würde, deren Leben in ihrer Blütezeit verkürzt wurde.... jung, vital und voller Talent. In zehn Jahren war er vom Talentshow-Kandidaten zum Country- und Popstar geworden und hatte eine große Bandbreite an Material aufgenommen, das auf den Gipfeln einer sich schnell verändernden Musikszene stand. Von dem starken westlichen Einfluss der frühen Abbott-Mannschaften, die 1950 und 1951 in Los Angeles aufgenommen wurden, bis hin zu Post-Hank Williams Nashville bei Mercury Mitte der 1950er Jahre und schließlich mit Columbia Records ab 1956.... Johnny Horton nahm alles auf, von Barroom-Heulern und Straight Country bis hin zu Rockabilly und Bona Fide Pop-Hits.

Horton deckte viele musikalische Gebiete ab, denn er war ein verdammt guter Sänger.... ein GROSSER Sänger. Seine Stimme war groß, ansteckend und freundlich, voller Charisma und Persönlichkeit. Während er für seine rockigen Up-Tempo-Songs und den Mega-Hit Battle Of New Orleans bewundert wird, ist Johnny Horton weniger bekannt als der große Balladensänger, der er auch war. Die Plattenfirmen tendierten zum Tempo für die A-Seite der Singles, um Air Play zu bekommen. Sehr oft war es die B-Seite der Platte, wo sich die Ballade des Herzens versteckte, oder ein paar dieser Balladen landeten auf einer LP. Es sind diese übersehenen Schätze, die dieses Set ausmachen, und mit Ausnahme von When It's Springtime In Alaska wurden keine als A-Seiten veröffentlicht, während Meant So Little To You von 1954 37 Jahre lang unveröffentlicht blieb.

Ich war in London und arbeitete an einem Aufnahmeprojekt, als ich eine Nachricht von Bear Family Records erhielt, ob ich diese CD mit Johnny Horton Balladen zusammenstellen würde. Ich wurde sofort in das Jahr 1956 zurückversetzt, als ich als Jugendlicher zum ersten Mal auf einen Song im Radio aufmerksam wurde, der I'm A One Woman Man hieß. Ich wurde in diese Platte hineingezogen, den Sound, den Drive, das Klackern von Bill Black's Kontrabass. Am Meisten aber zog mich seine Stimme in den Bann, wie er sang. Von diesem Tag an suchte ich immer nach Johnny Horton Platten und später, als meine Zeitgenossen als Erste die neuesten Beatles oder Rolling Stones Platten kauften, freute ich mich über das große Glück, eine Horton-Single auf Mercury in einem Dime-Store für neun Cent zu finden! Das waren damals wie heute Meilensteine für mich.

In vielerlei Hinsicht haben seine Musik und diese Aufnahmen mein Leben als Berufsmusiker geprägt, der von Land zu Land und gelegentlich auch wieder zurück gegangen ist.

Bei der Zusammenstellung dieser Sammlung habe ich Balladen ausgewählt, die Hortons gesamte Karriere umfassen und solche, die ich als Songs besonders mag. Er sang so gut, dass er fast alles verkaufen konnte.... fast alles. Ein paar Songs halten nicht stand und die habe ich weggelassen. Es tut mir leid, wenn sie deine Favoriten sind, aber es ist einfach die Meinung eines Journalisten. In die Sequenzierung dieses Sets sind Gedanken eingeflossen.... wie es musikalisch und stilistisch durch die Jahre geht. Heute wird eine Ballade allgemein als ein langsames Musikstück bezeichnet, aber ich habe eine Ballade immer als ein Lied empfunden, das unabhängig vom Tempo eine Geschichte erzählt. Auch die Balladen der 1950er Jahre wurden oft in einem schnelleren Tempo aufgenommen als ihre modernen Gegenstücke. In diesem Sinne habe ich mir etwas Freiheit genommen.

Johnny Horton war an der Spitze seiner Karriere mit North To Alaska, das auf jedem Pop-und Country-Radiosender im Herbst 1960 gespielt wurde, jener Zeit, als Johnny Horton starb. Ich spekuliere, dass er eine lange und produktive Karriere vor sich gehabt hätte, während er sich gleichzeitig so gut an die vor ihm liegenden musikalischen Trends anpasste. Einige seiner späteren Aufnahmen deuteten bereits auf das Kommen von Streichern und Stimmen hin. Er wäre mit dem 60er-Jahre-Stil der Country Musik Produzenten in Nashville und darüber hinaus wunderbar zurecht gekommen und hätte sich mit zunehmender Intonierung von Balladen sehr gut wie zuhause gefühlt.

The Johnny Horton Must-Have! Worth Getting It Al!

A short career, but one which pioneered such technics as background voices, piano accompaniment and strings to otherwise plain-Jane folk, rockabilly and country... A pleasure to get everything the late-Johnny Horton ever recorded, in a completely accessible and listenable set, though needing a lot of hours of me-time! (though wouldn't hurt to share the moments with the one you love)

A Brilliant Set

Many years ago whilst very young I was given the choice of a vinyl album from my Aunt and I picked Johnny Horton after hearing the track Commanche The brave Horse. Going forward many years later I was always looking out for Johnny Horton on cd but could not find any until we had a holiday in Austria and I spotted the four cd box Johnny Horton 1956- and bought it straight away (I still have the set). My wife hates him but I love him. A few weeks ago I spotted Johnny Horton The Singing Fisherman and purchased it right away and am glad I did. It is a fantastic 9 Album set with two books. Bear family were quick and had no problems with my order in fact I received it a couple of days after ordering. Thank You Bear Family. I also have other box sets from Bear Family and no problems with any of them.

Besser ist nicht möglich!

R & R Musikmagazin 2/2015 "Wieder einmal ein gigantisches Werk, die Musik im umwerfender Qualität, viele nie gehörte Aufnahmen und zwei Bücher, die keine Wünsche offen lassen. Besser ist nicht möglich!"

26 Apr 2015

Fantastisch !

Ein absolutes Meisterwerk von Bear Family, auch was die Begleitbücher betrifft.
Selbst für einen aktiven Sammler wäre es unmöglich gewesen, an diese vielen seltenen Aufnahmen zu gelangen, da diese nur als Unikate vorhanden sind. Deswegen kann man Jerry Hope, der sein Archiv für das Johnny Horton Projekt geöffnet hatte, gar nicht oft genug danken.
Danke Jerry und Danke Bear Family, für diese wundervolle Box.

23 Dec 2014

ABSOLUT TOP!!!

hier hat sie Bear Family mal wieder ein Denkmal gesetzt - die Box ist TOP und ein absolutes MUSS für Johnny Horton Fans ... das Einzige was ich vermisse sind die Live-Aufnahmen ... wäre super, wenn hier das auch noch mal als Komplett-Werk zusammengestellt werden könnte - ich wäre sicher der erste, der das kaufen würde ...

Danke an Bear-Family und alle Mitarbeitern - ihr leistet fantastische Arbeit - wenn's nach mir gehen würde, müsstet ihr den Grammy eher gestern als heute überreicht bekommen !!!

22 Dec 2014

...

Ich bin begeistert von der Box ... erstklassige Arbeit ... leider vermisse ich die Live-Aufnahmen - diese hätten der Box noch die Krone aufgesetzt ... ich kann diesesn Gesamtwerk nur jedem Horton-Fan ans Herz legen ...
