Various - Bob Jones Edition: Hillbilly Houn' Dawgs And Honky-Tonk Angels - More Ballroom Kings (2-CD)

Some names in music history don’t shine from the stage lights but from the tiny run-out grooves of vinyl. Bob Jones was such a name. A perfectionist, a collector, an eccentric – and one of the silent heroes behind countless legendary recordings. As a mastering specialist, he gave records the brilliance that made them timeless. Elvis Presley, Duane Eddy, countless artists from Decca, Ace, RCA, and Bear Family – they all trusted his ear and dedication.

This album is a departure from standard Country collections: it takes you straight back into the smoke-filled Honky Tonks of 1950s America. Pulled deep from the RCA Victor vaults, these 16 tracks revive the raw, unfiltered energy of Hillbilly Bop – so vivid you can almost hear the glasses clinking and the floors shaking under the dancers’ boots. Dim the lights, turn up the stereo, and you’re right there.

By the mid-1950s, elegant ballroom sounds had given way to the sharper, harder edges of Honky Tonk – a no-frills style inspired by Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell. That spirit is alive here: Jack Turner’s driving Walking A Chalk Line, Charline Arthur’s powerful Burn That Candle and What About Tomorrow, Lee Bell’s blend of swing and Texas country (Beatin’ Out The Boogie, Get Ready With Those Tears), and the Davis Sisters’ fiery Rock-A-Bye Boogie.

Add Janis Martin, the “female Elvis,” with Love Me To Pieces, Wade Ray with the almost rock-flavored I Need A Good Girl Bad, Curtis Gordon, Eddie Marshall, Bob King, Jack Tucker, and the heartfelt Is It True from songwriter Melvin Endsley – all backed by legendary session players like Chet Atkins, Floyd Cramer, Jerry Byrd, and Buddy Harman.

For collectors, this is gold: many of these sides were long locked away on rare singles, virtually impossible to find. Now they are finally available again – restored, compiled, and contextualized in a richly documented booklet.

But don’t wait too long. Releases like Hillbilly Houn’ Dawgs And Honky-Tonk Angels don’t stay around forever. When it’s gone, it’s gone – and you’ll regret missing the chance to bring this authentic Honky Tonk night into your home.

"Various - Bob Jones Edition"

Bob Jones, mastering engineer, record collector, label owner and Welsh eccentric died in 2009. The young Jones came to London and got a job as an engineer with Decca Records. After returning from Madrid where he had worked for a Spanish record company, Bob started working for Pye Records, mastering tapes for the newly formed Charly Records, Ace Records among others. He moved on to CTS Studios in Wembley, mastering releases for Bear Family Records a.o. and confirming his reputation for quality. RCA also utilized Bob's skills in mastering on numerous Elvis releases, including the first two volumes of 'The Essential Elvis', with his contribution acknowledged on the album sleeves.

After CTS, Bob was asked by Ace boss Ted Carroll to become a founding member of Sound Mastering. There he continued mastering product for Ace as well as various other specialist labels such as Rockstar, Bear Family and Magnum Force. A great fan of Elvis Presley and Duane Eddy, he was privileged to master product by both artists.
