Bob Luman: Let's Think About Living (4-CD Deluxe Box Set)

4-CD box (LP-size) with 104-page hardcover book, 117 tracks. Playing time approx. 262 mns.
  • His complete recordings (1955 - 1967) with rockabilly classics like Red Cadillac And A Black Mustache, Red Hot, Svengali, and many more, plus the Top 10 pop hit Let’s Think About Living.
  • 8 previously unissued performances, and many in stereo for the first time.
  • A 104-page-hardcover book with many rare and previously unpublished pictures.
  • Together with 'Bob Luman 1968 – 1977' all of his recordings are finally available….and don’t forget our DVD, ‘At Town Hall Party.’

From the moment he discovered Elvis in August 1955 and followed the King across the Texas Plains, Bob Luman's career as a rocker was set in stone. It was just a matter of time before he would follow in Presley's footsteps. Although Bob Luman has become an icon to rockabilly collectors today, his earliest recordings are scattered across dozens of obscure or out-of-print LPs and CDs, with sound quality often leaving much to be desired.

Finally, Bear Family has released the box set that Bob Luman's fans have eagerly awaited. This box gathers together all of Luman's earliest records, including his 1955 Texas recordings and his contribution to that cinematic classic, 'Carnival Rock.' Also included are Luman's Abbott, Imperial and Capitol recordings (1957/58) from Texas and Los Angeles and his entire output for Warner Bros. (and 1959 – 1962) Hickory Records (1963-1967). Many of these recordings appear in stereo for the very first time. AlthoughBob Luman's Hickory recordings show a strong country influence, Luman never left his rockin' roots for very long. As Texas legend Mac Curtis observed, "Bob Luman was a rocker right to the end."

These four CDs are accompanied by a lavishly illustrated book by music historian Hank Davis. It includes previously unpublished interviews with Luman's guitarist James Burton, songwriter John D. Loudermilk, and running buddies Bobby Bare and Mac Curtis. Taken together with Bear Family's 5 CD set of Luman's later work for Epic and Polydor (BCD 15898), Bob Luman's life and recording career have now been given the full Bear Family treatment. A companion piece to these box sets is a DVD of exciting 1958/59 Luman performances from Town Hall Party (BVD 20004), which feature James Burton, Joe Maphis and Merle Travis. The wait is over. The  ultimate Bob Luman experience is finally here for his legion of fans as well as for collectors of '50s rockabilly.

Bob Luman

Es ist eine klassische amerikanische Geschichte. Es klingt fast mythisch, und es würde sicher einen tollen Film machen. Und niemand hätte die Rolle besser spielen können als Bob Luman.

Hier ist dieser dreckige, arme Junge aus Ost-Texas, geboren 1937 und aufgewachsen in den langweiligen, engstirnigen Tagen der frühen 1950er Jahre, der sich seinen Weg durch die High School bahnt und versucht, sich zwischen seinen beiden Lieben zu entscheiden: Baseball und Musik. Er ist zu verkabelt, um in der Schule gut zu sein. Es ist schwer, stillzusitzen, und die Konzentration auf amerikanische Geschichte und praktische Mathematik kommt nicht in Frage. Manchmal führen ihn seine Gedanken zum Baseball-Diamanten. Er schlägt nach Macht oder macht die Art von Fängen, die man auf Highlight-Rollen sieht, und raubt jemand anderem einen Treffer. Manchmal denkt er daran, mit seiner Gitarre auf der Bühne zu stehen, seine eigene Band zu spielen und wie Lefty Frizzell oder Webb Pierce zu klingen oder wer auch immer in den Charts ist.

Aber irgendwo in der Tiefe, auf einer Ebene, die er nicht einmal beschreiben kann, ist die Musik nicht ganz das, wonach er sucht. Es fehlt etwas. Der Auftritt ist OK; er liebt es, auf der Bühne zu stehen und das Publikum zu bearbeiten. Es ist die Musik selbst, die nicht gerade befriedigend ist. Aber wo sonst kann er es hinbringen? Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es für einen jugendlichen weißen Jungen in Texas um 1954? Wenn nicht Country-Musik, was dann? Sicherlich nicht die schreckliche Popmusik, die manche Erwachsene hören. Das ist nicht die Art von Sänger, die er ist. Und er ist nicht schwarz, was die Art von Musik ausschließt, die er manchmal spät in der Nacht auf Stationen wie WLAC in Nashville hört. Aber, Junge, die Blues- und R&B-Sounds, die er immer öfter hört, sind wirklich ansprechend.

Und dann passiert es wie in einer Art Hollywood-Filmdrehbuch. Es ist sehr plötzlich und fast von diesem Moment an gibt es kein Zurück mehr. Was Bob Luman nicht weiß, ist, dass er nicht der Einzige ist, dem es passiert. Aber nichts davon ist im Moment wichtig. Der Punkt ist, dass Luman fast sofort ein anderer Mensch ist. Plötzlich weiß er, was er tun will. Baseball wird in den Hintergrund treten und in seiner Freizeit etwas zu tun haben. Musik, diese neue Art von Musik, wird bestimmen, wer er ist und was er tut.

Seine Geschichte wird im Laufe der Jahre viele Male von Presseagenten, Musikjournalisten und Bob selbst erzählt und verschönert. Die offizielle Version lautet: Bobby Glynn Luman wurde am 15. April 1937 in Blackjack, einer kleinen Gemeinde nahe der osttexanischen Stadt Nacogdoches, geboren. Er besuchte die High School in Kilgore und lernte Gitarre von seinem Vater, der auch Geige und Mundharmonika beherrschte. J. C.'Coot' Luman war, in den Worten von Bobs Frau Barbara, "ein echter John Wayne-Typ". Ein harter, kompromissloser Kerl, der trotzdem eine echte Schwäche für seinen Sohn hatte.

Bob war Frontmann einer ziemlich traditionellen Country-Band. Im August 1955 änderte sich das alles. Elvis Presley, bündig mit dem Erfolg einiger Sun Records, kam durch Texas. Eine Geschichte besagt, dass Lumans Mädchen die Show zuerst gesehen oder gehört hat und die Ereignisse am nächsten Tag an Bob berichtet hat. Er war sich nicht sicher, was er von ihrer Geschichte halten sollte, aber er spürte, dass etwas geschah, und er musste es überprüfen. An diesem Abend gingen sie beide zu dem seltsam aussehenden jungen Mann mit Koteletten und schwenkbaren Hüften. Das war, um ein Klischee zu leihen, der erste Tag in Bob Lumans Leben.
