JOHNNY CASH bezeichnet die 1927er Sessions als den
'wichtigste Moment in der Geschichte der Country Music.'
Diese Aufnahmen markieren den Ursprung der Country Music!
Eine unübertroffene Fundgrube für die traditionelle
amerikanische Musik! Dies ist die erste und einzige
Veröffentlichung der vollständigen legendären Sessions, mit
den extrem seltenen Aufnahmen von 1928! Hier entstanden die
ersten Aufnahmen der Carter Family und von Jimmy Rodgers.
-- Im Juli / August 1927 reiste Victor Records zu
Aufnahme-Sessions nach Bristol, Tennessee - ein
entscheidender Moment in der Geschichte der Country Music.
Produzent Ralph Peer fand zwei Interpreten, die nationalen
und internationalen Ruhm erlangten: Jimmie Rodgers und The
Carter Family. Es wurden jedoch bei den Bristol Sessions
von 1927 und '28 noch mehr als hundert weitere Aufnahmen
gemacht: Da gab es Balladensänger, Wanderprediger,
Stringbands, Gospelquartette, Mundharmonika-Virtuosen,
Verkündiger, Bluesgitarristen und Geschichtenerzähler.
Schnappschüsse traditioneller amerikanischer Musik,
festgehalten in einer Zeit der schnellen Veränderungen:
Bilder einer nahezu unwiderruflichen Vergangenheit, die in
diesen großartigen Aufnahmen für immer erhalten bleiben.
Die fünf CDs in dieser Box enthalten sämtliche erhalten
gebliebenen Aufnahmen aus diesen Sessions, mit alternativen
Takes. Das Begleitbuch enthält neu recherchierte Essays mit
Hintergrundinformationen über die Sessions und die
einzelnen Künstler, mit vielen seltenen und
unveröffentlichten Fotos. Ebenfalls enthalten sind die
kompletten Songtexte und eine detaillierte Diskografie,
illustriert mit Reproduktionen der originalen Archivblätter
mit den Aufnahmedaten.

der Country Music. Produzent Ralph Peer fand zwei Interpreten, die nationalen und internationalen Ruhm erlangten:
Jimmie Rodgers und The Carter Family. Es wurden jedoch bei den Bristol Sessions von 1927 und ’28 noch mehr als hundert weitere Aufnahmen gemacht: Da gab es Balladensänger, Wanderprediger, Stringbands, Gospelquartette, Mundharmonika-Virtuosen, Verkündiger, Bluesgitarristen und Geschichtenerzähler. Schnappschüsse traditioneller amerikanischer Musik, festgehalten in einer Zeit der schnellen Veränderungen: Bilder einer nahezu unwiderruflichen Vergangenheit, die in diesen großartigen Aufnahmen verewigt sind.
Die fünf CDs in dieser Box enthalten sämtliche erhalten gebliebenen Aufnahmen aus diesen Sessions, mit alternativen Takes. Das 120-seitige gebundene Begleitbuch im LP-Format enthält neu recherchierte Essays mit Hintergrundinformationen über die Sessions und die einzelnen Künstler, mit vielen seltenen und unveröffentlichten Fotos.

This is the foundation of country music! An unsurpassed storehouse of traditional American music, featuring the first recordings by the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers. The legendary sessions issued complete for the first and only time, including the ultra-rare follow-up sessions from 1928! -- The recording trip made by Victor Records to Bristol, Tennessee in July-August 1927 was a defining moment in country music. Producer Ralph Peer found two acts that acquired national and international fame: Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. But more than a hundred other recordings were made at the Bristol sessions of 1927 and '28. There were ballad singers, street evangelists, string bands, gospel quartets, harmonica virtuosos, Holiness preachers, blues guitarists and rural storytellers. A snapshot of rural American music was caught in an era of rapid change: pictures of a past almost beyond recall, but preserved for ever in these magnificent recordings. -- The five CDs in this set gather every surviving recording from these sessions, including alternative takes. The accompanying 120-page, LP-sized hardcover book contains newly researched essays on the background to the sessions and on the individual artists, with many rare and unpublished photographs. Also included are complete song lyrics and a detailed discography, illustrated with reproductions of the original recording sheets.
