Try to imagine it. You're an established country musician. You've got a career. You're writing songs, recording songs, selling records. Everything is just humming along and then all of a sudden  – there's this whole new style. You don't particularly like it. But people are starting to ask for it at your appearances. It's cutting into your record sales. What are you going to do?

You listen to it. You're starting to get pressure from your record label – maybe it's worth trying just for the hell of it. You're a little older than most of the kids who are doing this stuff, but so what? If you have a receding hairline nobody's gonna see it over the radio.

These crazy rock 'n' roll records are selling in the millions. That's a lot of money and a whole new audience. You don't want to miss out on that. You don't want this train to go by without you getting on board. You can always get off again if you don't like it.

Or try to imagine this. You're a young country musician and you hear some new sounds, perhaps on the radio, that grab your attention. They're exciting – maybe you can find some like-minded musicians out there and work some of these new sounds into your own style.

On two volumes of 'They Tried To Rock' you will hear music with these and other stories behind it. We have collected a variety of examples of country musicians making the transition into rock 'n' roll. Some were very successful; others were less so. The results are all fascinating: the story of a genre struggling to hold its own against enormous forces of change in the 1950s. Traditional American music battling against stylistic and economic pressures that threatened to engulf it. Country musicians wondered, "Do we fight it or join it?" They did both as the new music began to spread. Here's some of what happened.

They Tried To Rock

Teil 1 & 2 - The Hillbillies

Stellen Sie sich folgendes vor: Sie sind ein angesehener Countrymusiker. Sie haben Karriere gemacht. Sie schreiben Songs, machen Aufnahmen, verkaufen Schallplatten. Alles läuft prima, und dann plötzlich – gibt es da diese völlig neuartige Musik. Sie mögen sie nicht besonders. Aber bei Ihren Auftritten fängt das Publikum an, danach zu fragen. Ihre Schallplattenverkäufe gehen zurück.

Was tun Sie? Sie hören sich die Musik an. Ihre Schallplattenfirma setzt Sie unter Druck – vielleicht sollten Sie es zum Spaß einfach mal ausprobieren. Sie sind ein bißchen älter als die meisten Kids, die dieses Zeug spielen, aber was soll’s? Im Radio sieht’s doch eh kein Mensch, wenn Ihnen langsam die Haare ausgehen. Diese verrückten Rock 'n' Roll-Schallplatten verkaufen sich millionenfach. Das bedeutet ‘ne Menge Geld und ein völlig neues Zielpublikum. Das möchten Sie sich nicht entgehen lassen. Sie wollen nicht, daß dieser Zug ohne Sie abfährt – Sie können ja jederzeit wieder aussteigen, wenn es Ihnen nicht gefällt. Oder stellen Sie sich folgendes vor: Sie sind ein junger Countrymusiker, und eines Tages hören Sie eine völlig neuartige Musik, vielleicht im Radio, die Sie aufhorchen läßt. Sie klingt aufregend – vielleicht finden Sie ja irgendwo ein paar gleichgesinnte Musiker, mit denen zusammen Sie aus diesen neuen Klängen Ihren eigenen Stil entwickeln können.

Auf vier Folgen von 'They Tried To Rock' präsentieren wir Ihnen Musik mit diesen und anderen Hintergrundgeschichten. Hier finden Sie eine ganze Reihe von Countrymusikern, die zum Rock 'n' Roll übergewechselt waren – einige von ihnen sehr erfolgreich, andere weniger. Das Ergebnis ist in jedem Fall faszinierend: die Geschichte eines Genres, das darum kämpft, sich gegen die gewaltigen Veränderungen in den 50ern zu behaupten. Der Kampf traditioneller amerikanischer Musik gegen einen neuen Musikstil und den wirtschaftlichen Druck, der ihr Genre zu verschlingen drohte. Countrymusiker fragten sich: "Sollen wir dagegen ankämpfen oder mitmachen?" Sie taten beides, als die neue Musik sich auszubreiten begann. Hier sind einige Beispiele dafür, wie sich das angehört hat

 

Teil 3 & 4 - The Popsters

Der dritte und vierte Teil verfolgen jeweils die ersten Versuche von Popsters wie Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, den Mills Brothers, Perry Como und Lawrence Welk, mit den Herausforderungen des Rock 'n' Rolls und seiner Wirkung auf herkömmliche Popmusik klarzukommen. All das passierte in der ersten Hälfte der Fünfzigerjahre. Niemand wußte zu diesem Zeitpunkt, ob es sich um eine schnell vergängliche Modeerscheinung oder um eine die populäre Musik revolutionierende Bedrohung handelte. Viele Popsters haßten diese Entwicklung und machten sich in privater Runde darüber lustig. Gleichzeitig mußten sie feststellen, daß ihre Plattenverkäufe abstürzten, ihre Musik nicht mehr so häufig im Radio gespielt wurde und die Auftrittsmöglichkeiten seltener wurden.

Popsters wurden mit derselben Frage nach der Zukunft der Karriere konfrontiert, die zuvor die Hillbillies auf den beiden ersten Ausgaben dieser Serie beschäftigt hatte: bekämpfen oder zu Freunden machen? Einige Popsters besaßen das Zeug zur erfolgreichen Anpassung; andere schafften es nicht. BEAR FAMILY hat erstmals einige typische Versuche der Mutation vom Popster zum Rocker zusammengetragen. Viele dieser Aufnahmen von berühmten und weniger berühmten Künstlern sind mittlerweile recht selten. Sie werden sich wundern, wie gut manche waren. Andere werden kaum mehr als ein müdes Lächeln entlocken. Doch ob gut oder schlecht, sie alle erinnern uns daran, welch mächtige Kraft der Rock 'n' Roll in den Anfangstagen war und wie selbst gut verdienende Popsters glaubten, sie müßten sich verändern, um nicht unterzugehen.
