Talking On The Telephone – Vol. 1: Blues, R&B and Gospel Renowned music expert RICHARD WEIZE presents a new series encompassing an extensive collection of songs celebrating two inventions that changed human life and civilization forever: The ability to transmit our speech over long distances and the ability to preserve that speech on recordings. And just as soon as people began to make recordings of their voices, they began to write and record songs about telephones. In the four volumes of this series, we look at the full range of telephone music (Hillbilly; Blues & Gospel; Rock & Roll and Pop).We examine over 60 years of recorded music, and could have gone on into the 21st century, where telephones (with their evolving features and apps) remain woven into the fabric of popular culture.

Country / Honky Tonk / Hillbilly / Rockabilly

It’s rather ironic that a lot of the current European artists are outdoing their American counterparts when it comes to reproducing a sincere country sound. A fine example of this transition is The Country Side of Harmonica Sam and their current album ‘Open Letter To The Blues’, because it doesn’t come much more authentic than this when replicating country music from the late 50s and early 60s. With the countries of origin for this new long player stemming from Sweden, this latest guise for Harmonica Sam (real name Samuel Andersson) is one that fits splendidly as the honky tonk sound of the aforementioned periods in history is resuscitated and delivered inch perfectly as if it never went away!

1967 hatten Mike Clarke und David Crosby die Byrds verlassen. Übrig blieben nur noch Roger McGuinn sowie Chris Hillman. Der Country Musik-affine Hillman holte Gram Parsons zu den Byrds und die drei beschlossen, ein Album über die Musikhistorie von Amerika einzuspielen, basierend auf Hillbilly, Country und Bluegrass. Dazu mieteten sie sich in die Columbia Studios in Nashville ein und holten sich Musiker aus der lokalen Szene, darunter John Hartford und auch Clarence White.

Pay the Devil, an album-long foray into country music, shouldn't come as a surprise to Van Morrison fans. It's a logical extension of his love affair with American music. Certainly blues, R&B, soul, and jazz have been at the forefront, but one can go all the way back to the Bang years and find "Joe Harper Saturday Morning," or songs on Tupelo Honey that touch country. More recently, You Win Again, with Linda Gail Lewis, offered two Hank Williams tunes and "Crazy Arms."

Pay the Devil, an album-long foray into country music, shouldn't come as a surprise to Van Morrison fans. It's a logical extension of his love affair with American music. Certainly blues, R&B, soul, and jazz have been at the forefront, but one can go all the way back to the Bang years and find "Joe Harper Saturday Morning," or songs on Tupelo Honey that touch country. More recently, You Win Again, with Linda Gail Lewis, offered two Hank Williams tunes and "Crazy Arms." The Skiffle Sessions with Lonnie Donegan offered traditional Southern tunes including Jimmie Rodgers' "Mule Skinner Blues." Morrison's lyrics have also referenced country music blatantly. Pay the Devil comes from direct sources of inspiration: his father's skiffle band and Ray Charles' historic forays into country on the two volumes of Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music in 1962. The evidence lies in three cuts on this disc, all of which Charles recorded: Curley Williams' "Half as Much," Art Harris and Fred Jay's "What Am I Livin' For," and Hank Williams' "Your Cheatin' Heart."
