By the late 1960s Bakersfield, California was a West Coast country music mecca that, thanks to the hits of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, challenged Nashville's dominance of the industry. The so-called Bakersfield Sound first emerged from the clubs of California's Central Valley where oil workers and day laborers went to dance. In stark contrast to the passive experience of sitting and listening to music at the Grand Ole Opry, Bakersfield bands incorporated elements of swing, rock and roll, blues, and pop, with the goal of keeping the patrons on the dance floor.

The population of Bakersfield – particularly in the honky-tonks – leaned heavily towards transplants from Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri, and other Plains States that were most impacted by drought and depression during the 'Grapes Of Wrath' era. Even when Bakersfield musicians were rocking, they were most often doing it with a hard-edged twang that betrayed the confluence of cultures that found hillbilly music intertwining with California's unique melting pot of influences. In the mid-1950s Bakersfield enthusiastically embraced rockabilly, with a heavy emphasis on the 'billy.' As the decade progressed, the talented musicians – many of whom are today regarded as legends of the Bakersfield Sound - continued to demonstrate their ability to rock, bop, and croon outside the confines of a strictly country groove.

Over two volumes, we spotlight 'The Other Side Of Bakersfield,' highlighting the city's artists and independent labels that dared to indulge their rocking impulses. From familiar names like Buck Owens and Red Simpson, to collector favorites like Bill Carter and Al Hendrix, this is the story of the rockin' side of the town that went on to forge its own musical subgenre. Many of the tracks are released on CD here for the first time. With detailed liner notes, including track-by-track commentary by Scott B. Bomar, biographical details about the artists, and a plethora of photos, these carefully compiled collections are a treasure trove of goodies for fans of the Bakersfield Sound, 1950s and '60s era hillbilly boppers, and red-hot rockabilly.

The Other Side Of Bakersfield

1950's & 60's Boppers and Rockers from 'Nashville West'

Diese CD-Zusammenstellung ist exklusiv dem Thema Rockabilly, Boogie, Hillbilly Bop und Teen Rock aus Bakersfield gewidmet!

Hier lernen Sie die Pioniere der Country Music und des Bakersfield Sounds in ihren prägenden und rockenden Jahren kennen, z.B. Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Ferlin Husky, Red Simpson, Tommy Collins, Bill Woods, Billy Mize, Fuzzy Owen und Herb Henson! Höhepunkte sind seltene Aufnahmen, ursprünglich von kleinen Firmen aus Bakersfield wie Tally, Fire, Grande, Bakersfield Records, Global, Pike oder Mosrite veröffentlicht.

Viele Titel erscheinen zum ersten Mal auf CD. Dieses Album beschreibt den Einfluß von etablierten Musikern wie Tommy Duncan und Johnny Bond bis hin zu bei Sammlern beliebten Namen wie Custer Bottoms und Vancie Flowers auf den Countrysound an der Westküste, obwohl sie keine Country Music spielten. Umfangreiche und aufwendig illustrierte Booklets mit akribisch recherchierten Biografien, seltenen Fotos und jede Menge Hintergrundwissen zu jenen Musikern und Plattenfirmen aus Bakersfield, die sich für Rock 'n' Roll begeisterten und einen neuen Sound in der Country Music schufen. Gegen Ende der Sechzigerjahre war die Stadt Bakersfield in Kalifornien zu einem Mekka der Country Music an der Westküste geworden.

Dank der Hits von Buck Owens und Merle Haggard hatte sich Bakersfield zu einem ernsthaften Konkurrenten für die beherrschende Musikindustrie in Nashville entwickelt. Der sogenannte Bakersfield Sound kam zunächst aus den Clubs im Kalifornischen Längstal, wo Ölarbeiter und Tagelöhner tanzen gingen. Im Gegensatz zur Grand Ole Opry, wo das Publikum saß und der Musik lauschte, packten die Bands aus Bakersfield Swing-, Rock 'n' Roll-, Blues- und Popelemente in ihre Musik, um die Leute auf der Tanzfläche zu halten. Die Bevölkerung von Bakersfield, vor allem jene in den Honky-Tonks, fühlte sich zu den aus Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri und anderen Staaten der Great Plains Verpflanzten hingezogen.

Diese Menschen hatten besonders unter Dürre und Weltwirtschaftskrise während der als 'Grapes Of Wrath'-Ära (Zeit der 'Früchte des Zorns') gelitten und in ihrer Heimat alles verloren. Selbst wenn sie rockten, so geschah dies bei Musikern aus Bakersfield mit einem kompromißlosen Twang, der den kulturellen Zusammenfluß im einzigartigen musikalischen Schmelztiegel Kaliforniens verriet und dem auch Hillbilly Music unterworfen war. Mitte der Fünfzigerjahre nahm Bakersfield mit offenen Armen Rockabilly auf - mit der Betonung auf 'billy'. Später im Verlauf des Jahrzehnts verfeinerten viele von jenen, die man heute Legenden des Bakersfield Sounds nennt, ihre Fähigkeit, außerhalb eines engen Country-Grooves zu rocken, zu boppen und zu croonen. Verteilt auf zwei Ausgaben richten wir das Augenmerk auf 'The Other Side Of Bakersfield' und stellen jene Musiker und Plattenfirmen vor, die es wagten einem rockenden Impuls nachzugeben.

Von bekannten Namen wie Buck Owens und Red Simpson bis hin zu bei Sammlern beliebten Kollegen wie Bill Carter und Al Hendrix: wir zeigen die rockende Seite von Bakersfield, die schließlich ihr eigenes musikalisches Genre erfinden sollte. Etliche Titel erscheinen hiermit zum ersten Mal auf CD. Mit ihren detaillierten Linernotes und Kommentaren zu jedem einzelnen Track von Scott B. Bomar, Informationen zu den Lebensläufen der Musiker und einer Menge Fotos bilden diese sorgfältig zusammengestellten Editionen eine Schatztruhe für Fans des Bakersfield Sounds, Fans von Hillbilly Boppern der Fünfziger- und Sechzigerjahre und für Fans von glühend heißem Rockabilly.
