Openzone Bar, Faro, Beach Hoppers, Jane Maximova, Five Seasons, Lemongrass and more.

These 20 CDs comprise over 25 hours of music captured on-stage in the 1940s, ‘50s, and ‘60s at KWKH’s legendary Louisiana Hayride radio show. Staged live in Shreveport, the Hayride featured national country music stars, soon-to-be legends, regional break-outs, and talented newcomers. Most of this music has not been heard since the day it was broadcasted.

Privé II provides elegance manifested as sound, the successor to the first memorable volume released in late 2009. Here we find a selection of the smoothest sounds in chill out, lounge, hip and trip hop and deep house spread over 6 discs. The packaging and sound mastering only serve to enhance what is truly a collector’s item for the high end consumer. Beauty and lush beats create a parallel atmosphere anywhere you play it.

This imaginatively-curated, generously-filled Christmas package is sure to find favor during this and future holiday seasons. Why?

It truly offers something of every Christmas mind, spirit, and looks fantastic.

The Early Starday-King Years: 1958-1961 is a 109-track, four-disc box set that compiles every track the Stanley Brothers cut for Starday and King during that era. At the time, the group were releasing albums both on Starday and King, so there was an immense amount of confusion between the releases; the box set helps clarify the matters, by gathering all of the music together and presenting it in chronological order. This way, it's possible to hear their progression, as well as the differences between the recordings for the two labels; on the King recordings, the Stanley Brothers tended to be more experimental, working in electric instrumentation. Though there is plenty of fine music on the set, The Early Starday-King Years is, overall, too thorough and extensive for anyone but bluegrass historians.
