Brenda Lee: Sings Country - Ultimate Country Collection Vol.2 (2-CD)

(Hump Head) 50 tracks - This is Brenda's ultimate collection of her Country Music recordings.

In the first volume of BRENDA LEE SINGS COUNTRY, we featured all of those hit singles plus many of the excellent B-sides, most appearing on CD for the first.
In this second volume we have chosen the best tracks from the nine albums that Brenda recorded during that time. Alongside the hit singles, these original vinyl LPs also featured Brenda's distinctive renditions of such then current hits by Johnny Nash (I Can See Clearly Now), Jean Shepard (Slippin' Away), Merle Haggard (Everybody's Had The Blues) and Barry White (You're The First, the Last, My Everything).

Once known as 'Little Miss Dynamite,' (she is under five feet), Brenda Lee was the world's most popular female singer from 1960-65. Something of a child prodigy, she burst upon the pop world as a fifteen-year-old with the million-selling Sweet Nuthin's in 1959. For the next six years she hardly put a foot wrong as she dominated the charts with a mix of teen angst ballads and uptempo rockers such as I'm Sorry, All Alone Am I, Dum Dum, Fool No.1, Break It To Me Gently and the perennial Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree. Raised on country music, almost all of her pop hits were recorded in Nashville, with the same session players that were working on then current country hits by Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Eddy Arnold and Marty Robbins.

Following several minor hits in the States, Brenda hit the top in 1960 with I'm Sorry, one of the best pop songs from rather an indifferent era. The lyrics had everything a good teenage song should, and it really captured the times. Believing rock'n'roll to be a fad, but sensing they had a voice with long-term potential, Decca Records executives pushed Brenda toward supper-club shows and ballads such as I Want to Be Wanted, Emotions and Fool # 1 once she hit her mid-to-late teens. Such career moves may have cut into her hit-making days as a rock'n'roller, but they did give Brenda a broad foundation from which to build a lengthy career.

Now an elder statesperson of the Nashville pop-country crossovers of the 1960s, Brenda Lee remains a highly regarded and sophisticated international star. She is a member of the Rock and Roll, Country Music and Rockabilly Halls of Fame. She is also a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. She continues to tour worldwide, with a large and loyal following in Japan, Germany, the UK and Australia. In recent years she has served on various CMA boards and committees and been heavily involved in charitable organisations. As you listen to this selection of recordings, many appearing on CD for the first time, you can tell that despite all of her pop and rock'n'roll history, Brenda has always been first and foremost a bona fide country singer.

Brenda Lee

Geboren am 11. 12. 1944 in Lithonia - Georgia (USA) als Brenda Mae Tarpley. Brenda Lee nahm schon als Sechsjährige an Gesangswettbewerben teil. 1956 trat sie im Vorprogramm von Red Foley auf. Noch im selben Jahr - Brenda war gerade 11 - entstanden ihre ersten Plattenaufnahmen in Nashville. Und bereits 1957 war sie mit ihrer dritten Single, “One Step At A Time', in den US-Charts.

Bis 1970 folgten weitere 48 Hit-Notierungen, darunter 1960 die Nr.-1-Treffer 'I'm Sorry' und 'I Want To Be Wanted': Brenda (1,43 Meter) ganz groß! 1959 gastierte Lee erstmals in Europa - mit Gilbert Becaud im Pariser Olympia. Zwei Jahre später tönte sie auch in deutscher Sprache. Fünf (von sechs) dieser Singles wurden in Nashville besungen, zu vor produzierten Bändern, die James Last gefertigt hatte. Die Single 'In meinen Träumen' - 'Darling, was ist los mit dir' entstand in den Hamburger Polydor-Studios (Produzent: Bert Kaempfert). Mit 'Kansas-City' (dt.), 'Wiedersehn ist wunderschön' und 'Ich will immer auf dich warten' (alle 1964) kam Lee in die deutsche Hitparade.

Während der 70er Jahre konzentrierte sie sich auf Country-Material. 1988 feierte Brenda Lee ein Platten-Comeback, als sie auf der CD “Shadowland' von k. d. lang in guter Form zu hören war. 'Little Miss Dynamite' trat 1993 im Rahmen einiger Revival-Auftritte in London auf (mit dabei u. a. Johnny Tillotson und Chris Montez). Zwei Jahre später sang Lee mit Willy DeVille auf dessen CD 'Loup Garou' das intensiv-hinreißende Schmacht-Duett 'You'll Never Know'. Eine Film-Gastrolle hatte sie 1980 in der US-Produktion “Smokey And The Bandit Ride Again' ('Das ausgekochte Schlitzohr ist wieder auf Achse').
