Anita Carter - Out On Her Own: The Singles & Albums Collection 1950-62 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The youngest of Mother Maybelle's three daughters, Anita Carter had a pure soprano voice ideally suited to the sort of folk material she recorded for Mercury between 1962 and 1964. That material included Carter Family standards (she and sister Helen sing Wildwood Flower) and the album's title song, Anita's original version of which is quite different from her famous brother-in-law's.This 26-song collection is Anita's complete output for Mercury, and one of Nashville's most successful attempts to bridge the gap between country and the burgeoning folk boom. Other titles include Satan's Child, Fair And Tender Ladies, All My Trials, I Never Will Marry, and Bury Me Beneath The Willow Album Tracks 1. Ring of Fire 2. Fair and Tender Ladies 3.

Cathy Carr - Ivory Tower The Singles & Albums Collection 1953-62 Cathy Carr, born Angelina Cordovano in the Bronx in 1936, was a child star on TV and performed in WWII with the USO, and later sang with the bands of Sammy Kaye and Johnny Dee. She got her first recording contract in 1953 when she was 17, and between 1956 and 1962 she had a run of half a dozen US hits, of which the biggest was her No. 2 chart debut in 1956 with InchIvory TowerInch. She was very much a singer of the pre-rock 'n' roll era, who adapted to the new music by retaining her teen focus, and not moving on to more sophisticated styles until long after her chart career ended. This 58-track 2-CD collection comprises most of her A & B sides on the Coral, Fraternity, Roulette, Smash and Laurie labels from this era, along with almost all the titles from her albums InchIvory TowerInch on Fraternity and InchShyInch on Roulette. It features all her career hits, including the No. 2 InchIvory TowerInch, along with InchHeart HideawayInch, First AnniversaryInch, I'm Gonna Change HimInch, InchLittle SisterInch and InchSailor BoyInch. It has performances with some notable orchestras of the day, including Don Costa, Dan Belloc, Lew Douglas, Hugo Peretti, Joe Reisman, Henry Glover and Billy Mure. It's a substantial and enjoyable showcase for an artist we don't hear too much about, but who was a stylish and distinctive performer. Album Tracks 1. Half Pint Boogie 2. Heartbroken 3.
