About this product
Known as InchThe Southern GentlemanInch, Sonny James was one of the most popular and successful country artists of them all during the decades following WWII, racking up more than 75 hits in a chart career that lasted three decades through to 1983. He scored no less than 23 US country No. 1s, beginning with the landmark success of InchYoung LoveInch, which also topped the US pop chart, and including an extraordinary run of big hits in late '60s and early '70s beyond the scope of this collection. He was one of the first country artists to embrace the influence of rock 'n' roll, helping to give his work a more contemporary flavour than many of his Nashville peers, and was one of the new breed of country stylist who brought the genre into the modern era. This great value 62-track collection comprises a substantial proportion of the A and B sides of the forty or so singles he released on Capitol, NRC, RCA and Dot during the first decade or so of his career, with at least one side of most releases included, and naturally features all his country and pop chart entries from that era, including, as well as InchYoung LoveInch, the Top 10 country hits InchThat's Me Without YouInch, InchFor RentInch, InchYou're The Reason I'm In LoveInch, InchFirst Date, First Kiss, First LoveInch and InchUh-Huh-mmInch. Best-known as he is for his later work, this provides an enlightening and entertaining scene-setter for his later career, as his style develops from his country roots towards the new sound that would characterise Nashville in subsequent years.

After the success of our 'Wanda Rocks' CD, we've given the definitive single CD treatment to her fellow Capitol artist, Sonny James. Sonny James might not have rocked with the same vengeance as Wanda Jackson, but he made some beautifully crafted country-pop, not to mention the first great 'Nashville Sound' record, Young Love. These 33 songs catch Sonny James' transition from journeyman country singer to pop star. We begin with a few early songs that pointed towards Young Love (including For Rent and Twenty Feet Of Muddy Water), then Sonny James's great original version of Young Love itself, and then a selection of the very best Capitol and RCA recordings from the golden years, including First Date First Kiss First Love, Uh-Huh Mm, Talk Of The School, and Sonny James' great vocal version of the Shadows' Apache. As a special bonus the original version of Young Love by Ric Cartey is included.
