J. Tex - Misery - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The offspring of famous musicians often have a hard time creating a career for themselves, yet Hank Williams, Jr.. is one of the few to develop a career that is not only successful, but markedly different from his legendary father. Originally, Hank Jr.. simply copied and played his father's music, but as he grew older, he began to carve out his own niche and it was one that owed as much to country-rock as it did to honky tonk. 127 ROSE AVENUE, is the new album that features his new hit single Red, White and Pink-Slip Blues.

2012 , the seventh album from the Danish Alt-Country band. Behind the minimalist cover are 12 strong songs that show the band in a new and developed stage. The music is firmly rooted in American music but with a twist; a new take on a classic sound. The instrumentation is explorative and varied with a broad range of influences with a little bit of something for everyone. Without losing it's grounding in the tradition of American folk music, J. Tex & the Volunteers have with House on the Hill created a more inclusive and diverse album.

Of all Hollywood's 'singing cowboys', Tex Ritter, with his tack-plain but sincere bass, sounded most like the genuine article. This 28-track overview of his Capitol recordings spans 1942 to 1957 and a variety of production approaches from the folk spareness of Rye Whiskey in 1946 to the Baroque Western ripeness of Gunsmoke in 1955. On many of his Capitol sides, Tex was supported by such ace Capitol country accompanists as steel guitarist Speedy West and guitar legend Merle Travis.The set opens with High Noon recorded and released in England, and ends with Capitol's 'country' version. Other tracks include I Got Spurs To Jingle Jangle Jingle, Goodbye My Little Cherokee, The Chisholm Trail, Cattle Call, Remember The Alamo, The Night Herding Song and Blood On The Saddle. A true Bear Family classic!
