Merle Travis: Merle Travis - At Town Hall Party (DVD)

(Bear Family) 69:08 DVD - NTSC - b/w - Code Free (O)

No one revolutionized country guitar playing like Merle Travis.

He gave his name to an entire style of playing...or picking. He influenced Chet Atkins, and just about every rockabilly guitarist on the planet. There is very little video of Merle Travis in his prime, so Bear Family is very proud to present one of the geniuses of the guitar at the peak of his skills. Guitarists will be able to look at his fingers and try to figure out the deceptive simplicity of his style. Everyone else can just enjoy some relaxed, lyrical, and easy-on-the-ear country music. These 25 performances are a dazzling mixture of songs that Travis learned growing up in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, together with his hits, and even a tune, Main Street Breakdown, by his disciple, Chet Atkins.

Very few artists truly revolutionized their music, but Merle Travis did! Country guitar playing would never be the same after Travis, and when young country guitarists turned Travis picking into rock 'n' roll, they invented rockabilly guitar. Scotty Moore, Cliff Gallup, James Burton, and others were all disciples of Merle Travis.
After Merle, it would never be the same!

Merle Travis

Geb. 29. 11. 1917 in Rosewood - Kentucky

Erster Top Ten Hit: Cincinnati Lou (1946)

Merle Travis, Songwriter, Sänger und Gitarrenstilist, erlernte das Gitarrenspiel von Mose Rager, der wiederum von dem farbigen Gitarristen und Eisenbahnarbeiter Arnold Shultz beeinflusst worden war. Auf dieser Grundlage entwickelte Travis im Laufe der Zeit einen jumpenden Finger-Picking-Stil, wie man ihn bis dahin noch nicht gehört hatte. Damit wurde er zum Vorbild für Chet Atkins und viele andere Gitarristen, die alle diesen Stil pflegten und sogar weiterentwickelten.

Merle Travis spielte in zahl- reichen Bands, darunter die Tennessee Tomcats“, die "Brown's Ferry Four“, die „Drifting Pioneers“ und "Clayton McMichen's Georgia Wildcats“. Daneben war er immer ein gefragter Sessionmann, der bei sehr vielen Schallplatten- aufnahmen mit dabei war, zum Beispiel spielte er bei den Aufnahmen von Grandpa Jones oft eine wichtige Rolle. An der Westküste schloss sich Merle Travis den Bands von Cliffie Stone, Ray Whitley, Jimmy Wakely, Wesley Tuttle und Tex Ritter an und spielte in dem Film "Verdammt In Alle Ewigkeit“ in der Rolle eines G.I.s den "Re-Enlistment Blues“. Als Komponist war er verantwortlich für eine ganze Reihe großer Hits, darunter "Dark As A Dungeon" und "Sixteen Tons“, beides Bergarbeitersongs und Jugenderinnerungen von Travis, der aus dem berüchtigten Muhlenberg County in Kentucky stammt.

Die eigenen Versionen seiner Songs, mit denen er Mitte der 40er Jahre Erfolg hatte, sind heute gesuchte Sammlerstücke. Viele davon hat er später auf dem CMH-Label, teilweise zusammen mit seinem Freund Joe Maphis, noch einmal aufgenommen. Die Eleganz der frühen Versionen wurde jedoch nie mehr erreicht."
