Shit Happens: Songs of Everyday Life CD


Shit Happens: Songs of Everyday Life album for sale was released Apr 26, 2013 on the Bear Family (Germany) label. Yes, this is one time when the title truly does explain it all. Shit Happens: Songs of Everyday Life buy CD music This Bear Family set bubbles over with hard-luck tales and tragedy, much of it verging on kitsch -- but it doesn't quite get over the top, at least in terms of maudlin productions. Usually, the tragedy is within the lyrics, as the songs often play as simple unadorned country productions -- probably because there is an abundance of songs by Hank Snow here. Shit Happens: Songs of Everyday Life CD music contains a single disc with 25 songs. ...See Full Description

Honky Tonk Man: The Essential Johnny Horton 1956-1960 (Columbia/Legacy, 1996)


Anthologies are the best way to go with Johnny Horton. In spite of his talents, his discography is inconsistent, featuring as many low points as high ones. For the most part, Honky Tonk Man: The Essential Johnny Horton 1956-1960 does a fine job of separating the wheat from the chaff.


Much of the reason why this singer-guitarist didn't achieve greater stardom, according to country music authority and booklet notes writer Colin Escott, was a lack of "deep-seated commitment" to his music. A drifter from a family of drifters, Horton seemed to view being a musician as just another job that would pay the bills while he pursued more important interests like hunting, fishing, and extrasensory perception. By the early 1950s, he was a professional entertainer with a few releases on Mercury whose biggest claim to fame was marrying Hank Williams' widow. His new manager, Tillman Franks, helped him secure a contract with Columbia in 1955 and had visions of recasting him as a rockabilly. The following year, Horton had his first big hit, "Honky Tonk Man," as well as a few other singles that achieved respectable positions on the country and western charts. 1957 and 1958 were lean years, but his career peaked in 1959 and 1960 with the historically-flavored smashes "When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)," "The Battle of New Orleans," "Johnny Reb," "Sink the Bismark," and "North to Alaska." However, this formula eventually started to wear thin, requiring Horton and Franks to come up with another musical reinvention. They never received the opportunity to do so. Not long after allegedly having premonitions of his impending death, Horton was killed in a car accident caused by a drunk driver on November 5, 1960

JOHNNY HORTON IN THE MIDDLE FLANKED BY TILLMAN
FRANKS ON BASS & TOMMY TOMLINSON ON ELECTRIC GUITAR

This collection's first disc predominantly features material that straddles the line between country and rockabilly, which is evident on the deservedly successful "Honky Tonk Man," "I'm a One Woman Man," "I'm Coming Home," and "The Woman I Need (Honky Tonk Mind)." However, there are also several worthwhile non-hits dating from Horton's first couple of years on Columbia, including songs with a stripped-down sound similar to early Johnny Cash and Johnny Burnette: "Take Me Like I Am," "I Don't Like I Did (Before)," "Hooray for That Little Difference," "She Knows Why," "Goodbye Lonesome (Hello, Baby Doll)," "I'll Do It Every Time," and "Let's Take the Long Way Home." Other tracks display continued musical development, such as the syncopated rhythms on "Lover's Rock," the bass strings guitar solo on the Chuck Berryish "Honky-Tonk Hardwood Floor," and the engaging arrangements on "The Wild One." The concluding four tracks come from a rare album that was recorded in early 1958 and issued exclusively to radio stations. The lame "Hot in the Sugarcane Field" is fake calypso (!), while "Wise to the Ways of a Woman" and "I Love You Baby" are so-so pop songs with hokey backing singers. "Out in New Mexico," on the other hand, is an exceptional western ballad written by Horton that would not have sounded out of place on a Marty Robbins album.

Johnny Horton - 1956-1960, BCD 15470 - 4 CD+

CD Details:

  • Format: CD
  • Genre: Pop / Rock
  • Label: Bear Family
  • Originally Released in: 1994
  • Number of Discs: 4
  • Release Date: June 27, 1994

Product Description:


Includes 125-page booklet with photos, biography and discography.

This Bear Family box documents the last four years of Johnny Horton's life as a recording and performing artist. It is the second box set issue in their extensive -- in fact, complete -- Johnny Horton oeuvre. The first documented the Cormac, Abbott, and Mercury recordings as well as two albums' worth of demos and overdubs released while he was alive. This four-CD collection contains Horton's complete issued recordings, unreleased demos, and outtakes as well as overdubbed recordings issued between 1964 and 1969 (during the decade after his death) and working demos. Horton's final period at Columbia is what people (most people) remember. These were the years of "Sink the Bismarck," "Battle of New Orleans," "Honky Tonk Man," "Rock Island Line," "Ole Slewfoot," "The Same Ole Tale the Crow Told Me," his devastating recording of "Lost Highway," as well as his final monster singles recorded in August of 1960 (a mere three months before he was killed in an auto accident), "Go North" and "North to Alaska" (for a soundtrack). Unlike his peers during the later years -- Johnny Cash, Webb Pierce, Faron Young, and others -- Horton exhibited not only an easy amiability but a combination of confidence and vulnerability. It was as if he knew that making music came naturally to him but couldn't understand why anybody would make a big deal out of it. Here are the songs that ran the gamut of rockabilly, hard honky tonk, hillbilly boogie, blues, patriotic songs of the South, cowboy tunes, and even a recording of "Empty Bed Blues," which Bessie Smith had recorded 30 years before. While most Bear Family boxes -- because of their elaborate packaging, liner notes that resemble full critical biographies, and import prices -- are not for everyone, this set is an exception. Rock & roll fans interested in the early music, hardcore honky tonk fans, and of course Horton nuts will have to have this. The earlier set would have even more limited appeal, but the sheer quality of the music issued here transcends its genre, time, and place and is eternal in postwar musical history. Highly recommended. ~ Thom Jurek
