A Little Bitty Tear (5-CD) He is a man of many talents: singer, author, Academy Award winning actor, folk music scholar and performer. He was a companion of Woody Guthrie, and one of the few who laid the foundation for the Folk Boom of the late '50s and '60s. Surprisingly, Burl Ives spent most of the early '60s recording in Nashville with legendary producer Owen Brad-ley. Beginning with A Little Bitty Tear this collection captures Big Daddy in the studio with the cream of the Nashville session men: Grady Martin, Floyd Cramer, Hank Garland etc. Burl was able to draw songs from the best Nashville writers like Hank Cochran, Roger Miller and Harlan Howard, and this collection features his complete recor-dings between 1961 and 1965 when he had three top 10 country singles. Don't dismiss this one! It's some of the most purely enjoyable country music from that period.
