Johnny Paycheck: The Outlaw's Prayer - Epic Country Hits 1971-1981 (CD)

(T-Bird Americana) 26 tracks (75:38)

In country music’s roster of great honky tonk singers, Johnny Paycheck is without doubt one of the greatest. In 1977 he enjoyed his only country chart No.1 with the classic novelty, ‘Take This Job And Shove It’ a record so huge all across America it inspired scores of examples of industrial action, became an anthem for America’s blue collar workforce and inspired a movie of the same title.

In all he accumulated sixty country chart hits between 1965 and 1989 and placed twenty albums on the country LP charts between 1966 and 1987. An achievement that places him within the top 100 country performers of all time.

Collected on this CD are 26 country hits he enjoyed on Epic Records between 1971 and 1981.

• Includes country chart No.1 ‘Take This Job And Shove It’
• Features duets with Jody Miller, George Jones and Merle Haggard
• Informative sleeve notes

Johnny Paycheck

Geb. 31. 5. 1941 in Greenfield - Ohio
Record Labels: Decca, Mercury, Hilltop, Little Darling, Epic, Columbia, A.M.l.
Erster Hit: A-11 (1965)
Erster Top Ten Hit: The Lovin`Machine (1966)
Erster No. 1 Hit: Take This Job And Shove It (1977)

Don Lytle alias Johnny „Austin“ Paycheck begann seine Profi-Karriere als Musiker in den Bands von Ray Price, Porter Wagoner, Faron Young und George Jones. Er spielte Gitarre, Bass und Steel Guitar, schrieb Songs und machte sich dazwischen auch mal als Rockabilly-Sänger unter dem Pseudonym Donny Young selbständig, doch ohne großen Erfolg.

Als Country Sänger, der sich eine Zeitlang der Nashville-Rebellen-Bewegung anschloss, klappte es dann besser. Zahlreiche Top Ten Hits in den 60er und 70er Jahren hielten Johnny Paycheck im Gespräch. Daneben schrieb er immer wieder große Hits für andere Stars, für Tammy Wynette zum Beispiel den Erfolgssong Apartment No. 9“. Ein paar unangenehme Eigenschaften und Gewohnheiten warfen Johnny Paycheck allerdings immer wieder aus der Bahn. Es waren seine Neigung zu Alkohol und Drogen und jene krummen Touren mit ungedeckten Schecks und Diebstählen, die ihn immer wieder in`s Gefängnis brachten."
