Marvin Rainwater: Hot And Cold (LP & CD, 10inch, 45rpm)

1 vinyl 10”LP with 12-page booklet, bonus CD with additional recordings, 12 tracks (LP), 28 tracks (CD). Total playing time 28 min. (LP), 70 min. (CD)

  • Bear Family Records®  presents a 10” vinyl LP with the greatest recordings by one of the most exciting country and rockabilly artists ever: Marvin Rainwater.
  • The career of this extraordinary musician, who seemingly effortlessly combined country and rockabilly elements to create his very own style, began in 1955.
  • In the wake of the European rockabilly revival beginning in the late 1970s, Marvin Rainwater enjoyed a much-acclaimed comeback on festival stages worldwide.
  • This album gives us his very best recordings, and the bonus CD holds more treasures for us, classics alongside rather lesser-known numbers.
  • Enthralling liner notes by Roland Heinrich Rumtreiber and a deliberately sparse technical mastering treatment of these historic recordings round off the concept – expect first-class songwriting, a first-class performance and … something completely different.

Marvin Rainwater was one of the most exciting performers in country music and a revered hero of the European rockabilly revival of the late 70s and early 80s. Restless covered Mr. Blues, and The Blue Cats recorded Hot and Cold; Whole Lotta Woman was a regular on rockabilly radio shows and at record hops. 

Marvin Rainwater was his own man, with his own voice, and highly versatile. His incredible vocal range offered a bottom-end baritone for sincere songs, a snarling menace in a rockabilly arrangement, or hit the high-registers to serve as an ersatz-Hank and out-yodel the best of them. Rainwater delivered his songs with heart and soul.

This compilation offers some hot rockabilly, hillbilly bop, and Rainwater's very own brand of mid-tempo story songs that bridge the gap between pop, country, and rock and roll.  

Among Rainwater musts, like I Dig You Baby, Hot and Cold, and Mr. Blues, the 10" comes up with lesser compiled material like the mountain music inspired Hard Luck Blues or the big-city-main-stream-r&b-ballroom smash Dance Me Daddy, iced with typical Rainwater pop-coating. 

This 10" Bear Family Records® vinyl release further underlines his versatility via hillbilly pop a la Baby, Baby Don't Go that would have served the Everly Brothers well and sounds like it could have been produced by Lee Hazlewood. 

The authentic Rainwater sound is presented in full boom by (There's Always) A Need for Love, My Brand of Blues, and Love Me Baby (Like There's No Tomorrow). Marvin also tips his hat to Johnny Cash with It Wasn't Enough.

The bonus CD fleshes out all aspects mentioned above and excels with the inclusion of rare stuff like the 1956 Ozark Jubilee radio recording of Mr. Blues, two gems recorded with Link Wray and his Wraymen for Warwick, and a must-spin for every rockabilly party – Marvin's version of Gamblin' Man (Roving Gambler). 

During a time when record companies patterned every upcoming artist after Hank Williams, Marvin Rainwater stood out. He was different – some thought him to be odd. His uniqueness might have been an obstacle back in the ‘50s and ‘60s. 

But, for today's listener, Marvin Rainwater is something to discover and cherish. He ranks among the best of the immediate post-Hank performers. You are in for top songwriting, top delivery, and something completely different.

Marvin Rainwater


Wenn Sie sich die'Billboard's' Charts ansehen, werden Sie feststellen, dass Marvin Rainwater 4 Chart-Einträge in den U.S. Country Charts und einen Top 40 Hit in den U.S. Pop Charts hatte. Diese Informationen dienen nur dazu, zu bestätigen, dass Charts nicht der einzige Leitfaden für Qualität und Langlebigkeit im Country und Rock'n' Roll Geschäft sind. In Wirklichkeit haben sie wenig mit dem Talent und der Anziehungskraft eines Darstellers zu tun.

Wie viele ältere Künstler, die das Publikum in den USA und Europa immer noch begeistern, ist auch Marvins Ruf auf seinen Aufnahmen aus den 50er Jahren begründet, die ihn als Country und Rock'n'Roll Performer etabliert haben. Aber wie ich vor vielen Jahren herausfand, war sein Repertoire bei seinen Tourneen in den siebziger Jahren ganz anders. Dazu später mehr.

Die Geschichte von Marvin Rainwater wurde ausführlich in dem Buch zum 4-CD-Boxset'The Classic Recordings' (BCD 15600) und der Single-CD'Whole Lotta Woman - Rockin' Rollin' Rainwater' (BCD 15812) behandelt.

Für Neuankömmlinge wurde er jedoch am 2. Juli 1925 in Wichita, Kansas, als Marvin Percy Rainwater geboren. Nach einem Aufenthalt in der Navy machte er zaghafte Schritte in Richtung einer Gesangskarriere, die zu Auftritten auf der Arthur Godfrey Talent Show 1955 führte, nachdem er I Gotta Go Get My Baby auf Coral Records hatte. Er hat gewonnen! Ein Vertrag mit MGM Records folgte und nach einer Reihe von erfolglosen Veröffentlichungen erzielte er 1957 seinen größten US-Hit mit Gonna Find Me A Bluebird, der auf Platz 3 des Country und Platz 18 des Pop ging. Es folgte ein Duett mit der damals unbekannten Connie Francis (The Majesty Of Love) und 1958 kam sein großer Überseebruch, Whole Lotta Woman. Obwohl es in den USA nur ein kleiner Hit war, ging es in England an die Spitze, was zu Marvins erstem Besuch in Blightly führte. Während er in England zwei Titel aufnahm, Dance Me Daddy und I Dig You Baby, die im Juni 1958 auf Platz 19 der Charts landeten.

In den 60er Jahren war sein kommerzieller Erfolg trotz der guten Qualität seiner Aufnahmen für Warwick, Brave, United Artists und Warner Brothers rückläufig.

Gegenbesuche in Großbritannien in den 70er Jahren führten zu Auftritten in Country-Musikzentren, als sich das Rockabilly-Revival noch nicht durchgesetzt hatte. Auf einer solchen Tour sah ich am Dienstag, den 17. April 1973, die Magie des Regenwassers im Empire Theatre, Sunderland. Seltsamerweise bestand seine damalige Show aus nur drei seiner Aufnahmen, Gonna Find Me A Bluebird, Whole Lotta Woman und The Troubles My Little Boy Had, dies trotz der Publikumsrufe nach I Dig You Baby und Halfbreed. Der Großteil der Songs war durch Aufnahmen anderer Künstler weitaus bekannter und spiegelte wahrscheinlich die Show wider, die er zu Hause gab. Er hatte mit Jambalaya eröffnet, gefolgt von Running Bear und weiter zu Peter LaFarge's Ballad Of Ira Hayes, die er dem Publikum erzählte, dass er gerade aufgenommen hatte. Der Merle Haggard Katalog wurde für Okie From Muskogee und Mama Tried abgebaut und es gab eine Hommage an Johnny Cash mit einem Medley aus I Got Stripes, Ring Of Fire, I Walk The Line und Folsom Prison Blues, sehr zur Freude des Publikums. Weitere Highlights waren Billy Grammers Gotta Travel On und eine neue Ballade I Don't Care About Tomorrow. Immer ein Joker, stellte er Running Bear mit dem Kommentar vor: "Da die Indianer mir die Kleider vom Leib gerissen haben, nennen sie mich...." Ja, du hast es!

Im Jahr 1975 war er zurück, stellvertretend für das kränkelnde Leftly Frizzell bei Mervin Conn's International Festival of Country Music im Empire Pool Wembley. Dort erzielte er einen echten Triumph, der das Publikum informierte: "Ich werde Lefty sagen, dass er sehr gut ankam!"

Am Ende der 70er Jahre hat Marvin seinen eigenen Katalog in viel größerem Umfang durchsucht als 1973. Als wir uns im November 1979 wieder zu einem Interview für meine'North Country' Show auf BBC Radio Newcastle trafen, hatte er begonnen, einige seiner obskuren MGM- und Warwick-Materialien wie Mr. Blues und Boo Hoo aufzunehmen. Wenn ich "obskur" sage, meine ich damit den allgemeinen Country-Fan, der 1973 der Hauptabnehmer seiner Show war.

Das Wembley-Festival lockte auch 1981 wieder und er begeisterte das Publikum mit seiner fröhlichen Mischung aus Country und Rockabilly. Einer der Höhepunkte des Sets war seine Version von Teddybär. Wieder habe ich ihn für meine Radiosendung interviewt und wir diskutierten die verpassten Gelegenheiten, die ihn über die Jahre verfolgt hatten. In Wirklichkeit aber hat er die Musikindustrie besser überlebt als die meisten anderen. Er ist immer noch in den USA und Großbritannien unterwegs, wo er 1999 bei Willie Jeffery's Hemsby Rock 'n' Roll Weekender die Nase vorn hatte und dabei begeisterte Kritiken erhielt.

A really cool collection of work from Marvin Rainwater

A really cool collection of work from Marvin Rainwater – one of those late 60s cats who was always equal parts country and rock – with a hard-wailing style and a really great way with a tune! Marvin wrote much of his material himself, and that gives his records a very personal quality – especially as he's able to shift his style slightly from tune to tune – not in a way that veers towards commercial, but which can be blue-tinged country for one theme, and red-hot rockabilly for another! This nicely-done set offers up a 10" LP with a dozen tracks from Rainwater, plus a bonus CD that features all those tracks plus many others – a total of 28 numbers on the CD
