Jackie Lee Cochran - Rocks - With Jackie Lee Cochran, Bear Family presents a rockabilly performer known for his handful of incredibly effective numbers recorded in the mid-1950s. -Twenty or thirty years later, Cochran became a star of the rockabilly revival. -This 'Rocks' CD contains rare recordings from the 1950s made in Dallas and Los Angeles, such as Hip Shakin' Mama and I Want You. -It also includes his comeback recordings from the 1980s and '90s, his contribution to the rockabilly fever that swept across Europe in particular at the end of the last century! It took an outsized personality as well as a snarling set of pipes to stand out on the mid-1950s rockabilly circuit. Jackie Lee Cochran possessed both by the bushel. When the rockabilly revival exploded during the '70s and '80s, Jackie Lee was perfect situated to exploit the movement to the fullest, cutting far more material than he had his first time around. Bear Family's 'Jackie Lee Cochran Rocks' generously surveys both important periods in Cochran's career; other than his seminal Dallas-cut 1956 debut single for Sims Records pairing Riverside Jump and Hip Shakin' Mama, Jackie did a lot of recording in Los Angeles, including his lone '57 Decca pairing of Ruby Pearl and Mama Don't You Think I Know, his 1958 singles for Spry (Pity Me) and Viv/Avalon/ABC-Paramount (I Want You b/w Buy A Car), and a steamy '59 effort for Jaguar - and they're all here. There's also a generous sampling of his impressive comeback output for Ronny Weiser's Rollin' Rock imprint, often featuring Ray Campi's bass slapping, as well as '80s and '90s performances that decisively show Cochran still had plenty left in his tank. From his days on 'The Big InchDInch Jamboree' when his manager constructed an eight-foot-tall wooden silhouette of a black cat with illuminated red eyes for his eerie stage backdrop to when he regularly sent European

Bluegrass is a 2023 studio album that captures a dozen classic Willie Nelson compositions-including InchOn the Road Again,Inch InchYesterday's Wine,Inch InchStill is Still Moving to Me,Inch InchGood Hearted WomanInch and more-freshly interpreted by Willie and an ensemble of crack players. In a seven decade career that has seen him explore genres from one end of the musical spectrum to the other, this is his first full album dedicated to genre. Willie and longtime producer Buddy Cannon, picked personal and fan favorite compositions from across his career to perform anew for this salute to the Appalachian old-time string band music which profoundly influenced Willie's songwriting sensibilities and the direction of American country music in general. Using his own catalog as source material, Willie chose songs combining the kind of strong melodies, memorable storylines and tight ensemble-interplay found in traditional bluegrass interpretations of the roots of American folk songs. With Bluegrass, Willie uncovers new truths in his own songs.
