When singers like Gentry, Jimmy Webb, Michael Nesmith and Lee Hazlewood moved from the south to Los Angeles to make it in the music business, they were not part of the Nashville in-crowd and they forged a new direction. 'Ode To Billie Joe' was the tip of the iceberg, and it's success helped a bunch of singers and storytellers to emerge over the next three or four years. Some of the tracks on this collection bear that song's stamp more clearly than others: Sammi Smith's moody 'Saunders' Ferry Lane' had a similar mystery lyric, and Henson Cargill's 'Four Shades Of Love' is a portmanteau, with one (or possibly two) of the theoretically romantic situations ending in death. Suddenly, character sketches of southerners became a lot more rounded - women didn't have to stay home, or take abuse at the office, and darkness wasn't only found at the bottom of a bottle. Storytelling is the link between all of the songs on this collection. We have cautionary tales about what could happen to someone who heads for the bright lights and doesn't make it, ending up in the grasping hands of 'Mr Walker' (Billie Joe Spears), or on the 'Back Side Of Dallas' (Jeannie C Reilly), or on a mortuary slab in the case of the songwriter with the 'Fabulous Body And Smile' (Robert Charles Griggs). And there are stories about wanting to go home - Nat Stuckey's 'What Am I Doing In LA?' and Charlie Rich's 'Feel Like Going Home' - and others from Ed Bruce and Lee Hazlewood, who know that their home isn't home anymore. The tracklist and fulsome sleeve notes have been put together by Bob Stanley (Saint Etienne) and Martin Green (Smashing, The Sound Gallery), who have been collecting these records for decades. The voices are resonant and relatable, and the productions take in the best of what pop had to offer in the late 60s and early 70s. Before the factionalism between smooth pop-conscious Nashville and the hedonistic 'outlaws' made it look inward again, this was a golden era for an atmospheric, inclusive and progressive country music.

We kicked off in January with a compilation of songs from the pen of Kris Kristofferson, and keep the ball rolling this month with a volume spotlighting the work of Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Leon Russell. The name Leon Russell should evoke welcome memories for anyone old enough to remember that time in the late 60s-early 70s when rock and soul seemed to be sprouting wings and flying in all directions, with no boundaries to contain the flow of mad, wide-eyed creativity. With his flowing grey mane, stovepipe hat and stellar piano playing, Russell cut an imposing presence leading Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs \u0026amp; Englishmen circus as it's charismatic ringmaster and musical director, before stepping out on a solo career that went supernova as it rampaged through the first half of the 70s, directed from atop his Shelter empire. The collection comprises almost entirely songs from the period 1966 to 1979 and is packaged with a booklet featuring a 6,500-word essay by Kris Needs. The earliest selections - 'Before You Go' by Bobby Vee and 'The Loser (With A Broken Heart)' by Gary Lewis \u0026amp; the Playboys, both from Leon's time as producer Snuff Garrett's right-hand man, 'Raspberry Rug' by Bobby Whitlock and the Beatles-flavoured 'Land Of Oz' by Le Cirque - were all released before his name became well known to the public, although he was already established as one of the leading session musicians on the Los Angeles recording scene. His first major success came in 1969 with Joe Cocker's recording of 'Delta Lady', included here along with definitive versions of 'A Song For You', 'Groupie (Superstar)' and 'This Masquerade' by Donny Hathaway, Delaney \u0026amp; Bonnie and George Benson respectively. The one exception to the '69-'76 timeframe is 'If It Wasn't For Bad' from \"The Union\", the 2010 album Leon recorded in collaboration with Elton John, to whom he was an idol, mentor and inspiration. As Kris Needs writes in the booklet, \"Elton deserves much credit for reminding the modern world what a major talent had once stalked among us. Hopefully, this collection will help to keep Leon Russell's flame burning, maybe even send a few rifling through the man's colossal catalogue, like the first nuggets at the entrance to a goldmine.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ace Records Uk","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Songs Of Leon Russell \/ Various Ace Records Uk","offer_id":47236851433780,"sku":"ACI7101424.2","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/3921175-2664497.jpg?v=1773676908"},{"product_id":"the-sons-of-the-pioneers-tumbling-tumbleweeds-the-chart-years-1934-49_aec-acbt3395-2","title":"The Sons of the Pioneers - Tumbling Tumbleweeds: The Chart Years 1934-49","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sons of the Pioneers were one of the USA's earliest western singing groups, and the primary originators of what might be called \"cowboy country\", their songs, vocal harmonies and instrumental make-up influencing countless artists who followed them, although they were such a long-lived group that they were able to compete with many that they influenced.

With 13 releases making top spot in the country charts and a whole string of hits, Pierce was without doubt one of the most successful country recording artists of the 50's. Renowned for his distinctive nasal voice, he influenced the music industry for years to follow. On this 17-track collection we hear his greatest songs over an 8-year period from 1952-59, including all 13 of his No. 1 hits. Epitomising Pierce's selling power, In The Jailhouse Now, spent 37 weeks in the country chart during 1955, 21 of them at No. 1. Although some of his late '50s and early '60s recordings nodded in the direction of the emerging smoother Nashville sound, with the steel guitar and fiddle giving way to vocal choruses and strings, and forays into distinctly pop\/rock 'n' roll territory, he remained reluctant to depart from his honky-tonk roots.
