There neither is nor has been an independent country music record label more prolific or exceptional than Starday Records. Musician and scholar Nate Gibson wrote the book on Starday, literally, and now he’s focusing his efforts on what made Starday so great–the music and the musicians. Backed by some of country music’s finest pickers including Marty Stuart and members of his Fabulous Superlatives band, Gibson re-recorded 24 of Starday’s most beloved songs with 14 of the original Starday artists including Betty Amos with Judy & Jean, Bill Clifton, Rudy ’Tutti’ Grayzell, Wade Jackson, Sleepy LaBeef, Little Roy Lewis, Jesse McReynolds (of Jim & Jesse), Darnell Miller, Frankie Miller, Arnold Parker, Margie Singleton, and June Stearns.

Bear Family Records is proud to release this informative and lively treasure trove of traditional country music, rockabilly, bluegrass, western swing, and gospel music recordings which demonstrate just how great these legends sound today, 50-60+ years after the original Starday recordings were made.

Producer, scholar and musician, Nate Gibson recorded his first record back in 2001 with Yodelin’ Kenny Roberts and his stories about Starday and the country music industry had him hooked. He spent the next ten years interviewing everybody he could find with a relationship to the label. He wrote a book about it called ’The Starday Story: The House That Country Music Built’ (University Press of Mississippi), and he produced a radio documentary and several radio programs about it. Nate booked multiple Starday artists at music festivals and even backed up a few of them himself. The artists, musicians, employees, and family members forming the Starday community became lifelong friends and he made a lifelong commitment to being their advocate whenever he could.

Around May of 2017, Nate Gibson began brainstorming ways that he could celebrate Starday in a way that honored and called attention to the music and the musicians.

After making a few phone calls, he decided to visit with his Starday friends who were now living in Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Oregon, Georgia, and Arkansas, and he recorded extended oral histories with everyone he could find. Nate booked studio sessions and brought many of the musicians back into the studio. They went to the older studios where Starday sessions took place, like Gold Star Studios in Houston, and he made video tours. He knew that all of the living Starday artists were between 75-95 years old and he wanted to find as many as he could and to document as much as he could.

Nate Gibson tracked down 14 Stars of Starday and with them re-recorded 24 of his favorite Starday songs. Together they laid down some really fun rockabilly, country, bluegrass, honky-tonk, and gospel tracks. Backing them on the various sessions were some of the best musicians in country music including Marty Stuart and members of his Fabulous Superlatives band, Kenny Vaughan and Chris Scruggs, as well as Steve Hinson (Randy Travis, Dolly Parton, George Jones), Dave Roe (Johnny Cash), Kevin Smith (Willie Nelson, High Noon), Pete Finney (Patty Loveless, Vince Gill) and many more talented friends!

About halfway into the project, Nate was introduced to an amazing marionette maker in his hometown of Madison, WI named Ken Vogel. He became a huge fan of Ken’s ornate and detailed puppets and commissioned marionettes to be made of all of the Starday artists, himself, and many of the musicians. Over time, this became a fascinating and unexpected aesthetic for the overall project and he called on several of his folklore colleagues in Wisconsin to become amateur puppeteers and help him make music videos for many of the songs.

Finally, Bear Family offered to press and distribute the CD (Nate released the double vinyl version himself) and both Marty Stuart and Frankie Miller wrote very kind introductory words. So sit back and relax and enjoy the new moving recordings with some of the stars from the heyday of country music.

"Nate Gibson"

Much like Starday Records, whose slogan was "Preserving Our Nation's Musical Heritage," so too is Nate Gibson. Nate has spent more than a dozen years researching and writing about American roots music and during that time he has continued to tour, record, and write original music. Whether playing frantic rockabilly, traditional country, honky-tonk, western swing, bluegrass, southern gospel music, or any other genre under the mighty "Americana" umbrella, the sound is sure to put a smile on your face and rhythm in your step. Nate has performed at numerous festivals including the Screamin' Weekender (Spain), Green Bay's Rockin' '50s Fest (USA), Viva Las Vegas (USA), Montreal's Red Hot & Blue Weekender (Canada), Helsinki Rockabilly Week (Finland) and others, and his albums have been released by Goofin' Records (Finland), El Toro Records (Spain), Cow Island Music (USA), and his own Gibson label.

Gut, dass sich Bear Family Records dieses Projekts angenommen hat

Gut, dass sich Bear Family Records dieses Projekts angenommen hat. So können wir sicher sein, dass die Gestaltung des Booklets oder überhaupt des Gesamtpakets hervorragend gelungen ist, allein das Booklet mit sehr vielen lehrreichen Informationen umfasst sechsundfünfzig Seiten. Musikalisch hören wir eine bunte Palette mit traditioneller Country Music, Rockabilly, Bluegrass, Western Swing, Honky Tonk und Gospel. Die seinerzeit aufnehmenden Künstler, soweit noch am Leben, zeigen, dass sie es noch drauf haben, wenngleich der Zahn der Zeit, insbesondere stimmlich, an ihnen genagt hat, nach etwa fünfzig und noch mehr zurückliegenden Jahren. Immerhin sind sie in der Regel zwischen fünfundsiebzig und fünfundneunzig Jahre alt!

Congratulations to Nate Gibson for a fantastic CD, released through Bear Family Records. It's the release of 2019 for me and likely still to be top at the end of the year. Wonderful booklet chock full of interviews and photos; great to see references among them, Nate - sign of a true wirter. Big shout out to Nico Feuerbach of Bear Family for picking up on Nate's Kickstarter project and to the wonderful artists involved including Rudy Tutti Grayzell and Margie Singleton Walton - y'all sound magnificent!

Produced by Nate Gibson, the author of The Star-day Story (Univer-sity Press of Mis-sissippi), this 25-track album was recorded with the support of Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives and Chris Scruggs. Nate Gibson. who is also a musician. has selected songs once released on Starday (country, rock-kabilly, bluegrass. honky tonk, gospel. western swing). He re-recorded them half a century after the originals with the artists he convinced to revive these titles, some of which are part of the heritage of any classical country music fan. Thus the presence of Betty Amos, Judy & Jean. Bill Clif-ton, Rudy Grayzeil. Wade Jackson. Sleepy LaBeef, Little Roy Lewis. Jesse McR eynolds, Darnell Miller, Frankie Miller, Arnold Parker, Margie Singleton. June Stearns, etc. gives a good taste of living history without distorting the compositions, with a real dynamism and a flawless sound. A very beautiful 56-page booklet provides detailed testimonies on this magnificent project. Emotion guaranteed, with Bear Family quality. (JB) (BCD 17588►

Press Archives - Nate Gibson Nate Gibson & The Stars Of Starday - Now Dig This

Press Archives - Nate Gibson Nate Gibson & The Stars Of Starday - Now Dig This Marty Stuart and his sidemen, Kenny Vaughan and Chris Scruggs. Rock n roll / rockabilly tracks are thin on the ground. Wildest of the handful is Rudy Gray-zell's aptly-titled 'Let's Get Wild' but this track. and his 'Duck Tail', clearly show that Rudy's voice is shot to pieces. Sleepy LaBeef's All The Time' and 'I'm Through' are acceptable and Frankie Miller's 'Rain Rain' makes for an ener-getic opener. Apart from bonus track The Spook', Nate's eerie instrumental, the remainder are pure country tracks played in the 'old-time'. trad-itional style. They are a consistent bunch and include rousing numbers, slow ballads and a little western swing. The backings are first rate with steel guitar. fiddle, banjo, mandolin and dobro all figuring. They will delight lovers of the genre. This extravaganza is hugely enhanced by the accompanying 56-page booklet with profiles of the performers involved and over 40 photos. many in colour. Clearly a labour of love, Nate has come up with something a bit special. Harry Dodds

Press Archives - Nate Gibson Nate Gibson & The Stars Of Starday - Country Music People 24 tracks (plus a bonus track) Producer: Nate Gibson Bear Family 63:00 The Starday record company may be best known for giving George Jones his first break, but it did much more than that. Boss Don Pierce, in charge from the late 50s, had a maverick's taste for recording "unfashionable" honky tonk, bluegrass, old timey and Gospel at a time when Nashville was increasingly focused on smoother sounds. And by giving a second bite of the cherry to older stars, Starday was doing what enlightened operators like of Heart of Texas for country artists and Fat Possum for blues and soul artists have done more recently. To Starday we give thanks for the biggest hit of the Cowboy Copas's career Alabam, and a slightly more minor one for Moon Mullican (Ragged But Right). But Starday might have been forgotten had it not been for the bright young light, part musician, part scholar, part preservationist, that is Nate Gibson. He recorded his first record with Kenny Roberts, another former Starday favourite widely recognised as the finest yodeller in the business, back in 2001. Then, working with Pierce just before he died, he wrote The Starday Story: The House That Country Music Built, which is recommended reading.

Nate gör duetter med alla i 24 spår, resultatet är absolut inte fvskam, visserligen börjar åldern ra ut sin rätt på ett par av legenderna men i stort är jag faktiskt rätt imponerad av resultatet. Oppningspåret «Rain, Rain» samt «Family Man» mcd Frankic Miller sitter som en smäck och dit hör också uptempospåren med Arnold Parker i «Find A New Woman», Darnell Miller i «Royal Flush• och «Mark Of Cain», Sleepy I.aBeef i «All The Time» och «Fm Through». Rudy Grayzell står i egen klass mcd rockrökarna «Let's Get Wild• och «Ducktail». Bland ballader är June Stearns helt suverän i «Wc Got Things In Common».

Presse - Nate Gibson Nate Gibson & The Stars Of Starday - Boppin' Around Reviews

Presse - Nate Gibson Nate Gibson & The Stars Of Starday - Boppin' Around Reviews ...Uptempo country wordt opgediend door Jesse McReynolds (die voor het eerst opnam in 1951) met Nobody But You(een mix van twangy gitaar, uptempo fiddles en zelfs een contrabas solo) en Pardon Me, Darnell Miller met Royal Flush (zijn originele Starday versie uit 1959 klonk iets meer rocka-hillbilly) en Back To You, en door de western swing flavour van Bill Clifton's Little White Washed Chimney. Truckin' country wordt vertolkt door het female trio Betty Amos With Judy & Jean (hun eerste trio opnames sinds 1967) in Eighteen Wheels A Rolling, en het door Amos geschreven maar nooit officiëel door haar opgenomen (enkel als demo - de hit was voor Jean Shepard) Second Fiddle (To An Old Guitar) is hardcore honky tonk countrybilly op zijn meest hardcore, net als Sippin' On A Sud van de nu 90-jarige Wade Jackson. Bluegrass krijgen we met het razendsnelle instrumentale Saints Banjo March oftewel When The Saints Go Marching In door banjospeler Little Roy Lewis, terwijl zijn Ain't No Room In The Church For Liars met zang van bluegrass fiddler Lizzy Long semi-akoestische gospel countryblues is. Nog meer country gospel wordt voorgegaan door Margie Singleton (haar Oo-Wee (You're The One For Me) / Teddy was in 1958 geslaagde female rock 'n' roll) in On The Cross. We've Got Things In Common is dan weer een onkreukbaar oerdegelijk man-vrouw country duet met June Stearns - haar eerste commerciële opname in 45 jaar ! Deze cd door oudjes die allemaal slightly off key zingen is een werk van liefde en barmhartigheid, want de kans is groot dat dit voor de meeste van deze artiesten de allerlaatste keer is dat ze voet in een opnamestudio hebben gezet. Geweldige cd, niet alleen omdat dit de soundtrack van een feestje in Huize Vredenburg is, maar ook en vooral omdat bijna alle 24 nummers (+ 1 instrumentale bonustrack door Nate Gibson zelf, een heavy cover van de steel gitaar instrumental The Spook van Pete Drake die in 1962 op Starday psychedelisch moet hebben geklonken) uptempo countryrock en bluegrass met een beat zijn waarin de fiddles en steel gitaren je om de oren vliegen, uitgevoerd door een band die zo strak speelt dat alles fris hedendaags klinkt. Ga zeker ook via de zoekterm "Nate Gibson & the Stars Of Starday" op YouTube op zoek naar de videoclips waarin de artiesten vervangen werden door de marionetten die je op het hoesje ziet, interviews en repetities...
