Mac Wiseman: On Susan's Floor (4-CD Deluxe Box Set)

4-CD Box Set, LP-size with 60-page hardcover book. 114 tracks. Plying time 303:36 minutes. 

We did it first...and we do it best! Now here's the second installment of our Mac Wiseman retrospective, including his ultra-rare recordings for Dot, Rural Rhythm, MGM, RCA, Churchill, and his own Wise Records! Backing musicians include the Osborne Brothers and Bluegrass stalwarts like Josh Graves ... all in top form! Photos from Mac Wiseman himself, photographer Les Leverett and a detailed interview bring this amazing period of Bluegrass history to life!

These were, in many ways, Mac Wiseman's golden years. He was bringing his music to a worldwide audience and recording many of the songs for which he became well known at home and overseas. This 4-CD retrospective of his career from 1965 to 1979 begins with his ultra-rare Canadian LP for his own Wise Records, featuring his first recordings of Molly Bawn and Bringing Mary Home. Then within the space of a few weeks he recorded a 20-song LP of vintage country, bluegrass, and folk songs for Rural Rhythm together with three conceptualized LPs for Dot, including a bluegrass LP with the Osborne Brothers. All are here complete, reissued for the first time.

After one single on MGM, Mac Wiseman signed a long-term contract with RCA, and was produced by the legendary Cowboy Jack Clement. Under Jack's guidance, he recorded songs like
On Susan's Floor, It Rains Just The Same In Missouri, and Wrinkled Crinkled Wadded Dollar Bill as well as novelty songs like Johnny's Cash And Charley's Pride and You Can't Go In The Red Playing Bluegrass. At the same time, Mac Wiseman was recording LPs that featured the best of Nashville's new songwriters together with established favorites from long ago.

As a postscript this box also includes Mac Wisman's recordings for Churchill Records between 1977 and 1979, featuring his hit single of My Blue Heaven with big band leader Woody Herman, as well as some of the most challenging songs he ever recorded.

Today, Mac Wiseman is one of the few survivors from the early days of bluegrass. He connects the music to the folk and parlor songs that preceded it, and sings with the same unaffected sincerity. That's why so many generations know him as THE VOICE WITH A HEART.

In addition, this exclusive set includes 114 recordings, plus an extensive hardcover book with an essay by Colin Escott that includes interviews with Mac Wiseman, as well as a complete discography and many previously unpublished photos.

Mac Wiseman

Mac Wiseman

Zu den Höhepunkten seiner Karriere zählen die Einführung der doppelt besetzten Fiddle im Bluegrass und er war das letzte überlebende Mitglied von Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs' original Foggy Mountain Boys. Allein diese Tatsache macht ihn zu einer Schlüsselfigur in der kommerziellen und musikalischen Entwicklung des Bluegrass der 1940er Jahre. Zum Anderen war er auch der letzte lebende Mitbegründer der Country Music Association (CMA). Wiseman half 1958 bei der Gründung des ursprünglichen CMA-Boards, um die Country-Musik vor der Bedrohung des immer populärer werdenden Rock'n'Roll und dessen starken Einflüssen zu schützen, obwohl er selbst eine Reihe von Rock'n'Roll und Rockabilly Titeln aufnahm. Er war während dieser wichtigen Periode in der wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Entwicklung von Nashville der First Secretary der Organisation.

Mac WisemanMac Wisemans erste musikalische Liebe war Bluegrass, gefolgt von Pop und Country Music sowie seiner besonderen Liebe für sentimentale Liebeslieder vergangener Zeiten. Als Mac Wisemans neue Hit-Versionen in die Charts brachte, waren sowohl Jimmie Brown The Newsboy (1875) als auch Love Letters In The Sand (1931) bereits Klassiker. Zusammen mit Bandleader Woody Herman nahm er My Blue Heaven auf (ja, gibt es auch auf Bear Family).

Geboren am 23. Mai 1925 in Crimora, Virginia, erkrankte er bereits in jungen Jahren an Polio. Während andere Kinder auf den Feldern arbeiteten, blieb Wiseman im Haus und hörte Musik. Als Teenager kaufte er eine Gitarre aus einem Sears-Roebuck-Katalog und begann, seine Lieblingslieder zu spielen, während er Texte sang, die seine Mutter aus Radiosendungen übertrug. Er erinnerte an diese handschriftlichen Texte auf dem Album 'Songs From My Mother's Hand' von 2014.

Wiseman begann seine Karriere 1944 als Bassist für Molly O' Day's Cumberland Mountain Folks. Es folgte ein Gig mit Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys, der Wiseman auf eine Tour mit Hank Williams und im Studio einen Job für Nashvilles erste Bluegrass-Aufnahme-Session brachte. In den 1950er Jahren arbeitete er mit Dot Records als erfolgreicher Plattenkünstler und angesehener A&R-Vertreter und Produzent zusammen. Von 1966 bis 1970 brachte er als Direktor der Show neue Künstler beim einflussreichen WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling, West Virginia, unter. Heute ist es die zweitälteste Countrysendung nach der Grand Ole Opry. 

Mac WisemanIn den 1960er Jahren sangen die Mac Wiseman Fans Merle Haggard und Johnny Cash Loblieder auf ihn, während sie ihre eigenen Karriere weiter aufbauten. Wiseman machte später mit beiden Aufnahmen, erschien auf mehreren 'American Recordings' Veröffentlichungen von Cash und arbeitete mit Haggard für das Album 'Timeless' 2015 zusammen. Auch Aufnahmesessions mit Künstlern, wie Doc Watson, Merle Travis, den Osborne Brothers, Alison Krauss und John Prine sind erwähnenswert.

Die bevorzugte Stilrichtung von Mac Wiseman blieb immer die Bluegrass-Musik. 1986 war er bei einer weiteren einflussreichen Organisation, der International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA), Mitbegründer. In einem Facebook-Post beklagt die IBMA den Verlust eines musikalischen Schatzes, eines produktiven Geschichten-Erzählers und großen Freundes.

Die größte Ehre für ihn war die Aufnahme in die Country Music Hall of Fame und die Bezeichnung ' The Voice with a Heart' des National Heritage Fellowship, die zu seinem Spitznamen wurde. In einem manchmal wankelmütigen und harten Geschäft blieb Wiseman als eine der freundlichsten und großzügigsten Menschen bekannt.

 

''Im hohen Alter von 93 Jahren ist ein großartiger Musiker von uns gegangen:
Mac Wiseman.

Ein Besuch bei ihm war, während unserer USA-Aufenthalte, immer eingeplant. Mac war randvoll mit Geschichten und war, trotz gesundheitlicher Auf und Abs in den letzten Jahren, immer voller (musikalischer) Pläne. Bei einer Dose Cola oder Soda wurden diese dann ausschweifend erörtert. Wir vermissen diese Treffen schon jetzt, und wir sind dankbar für die Zeit, die wir mit Mac verbringen durften.''
