* Digipack
2-CD Digipack mit 48-seitigem Booklet, 41 Titel, Spieldauer: 122: 24. Rockabilly ' Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Bill Riley und Warren Smith gehörten zu seinen Freunden und Label-Kollegen! Zwei CDs mit Musik aus 40 Jahren, dazu ein alles umfassendes Interview: Jack berichtet über sein wildes Leben in Memphis während der rockigen 50er Jahre! Die kaum zu übertreffende Musiksammlung von einer der frühesten Sun-Rockabilly-Bands, den Jimbos; inklusive mehrerer unveröffentlichter Sun-Titel! -- Jack Earls war Zeuge der Geburtsstunde des Rockabilly in Memphis und ließ dessen Kind hinter sich. Das hieß Rock 'n' Roll ' aber es war eine neue Form des Rock, erschaffen von arbeitenden Musikern, die sich darum bemühten, ihre Songs auf Sam Phillips' Sun-Label unterzubringen. JacksMitstreiter waren Elvis Presley, Johnny und Dorsey Burnette, Paul Burlison, Johnny und Bill Black und viele andere Musiker. Zwischen 1955 und 1957 schrieb Jack seine eigenen Songs und nahm sie mit seiner eigenen Band auf, den Jimbos. Das Ergebnis vieler Sun-Sessions war eine Single Anfang 1956, die sich gegen ein wahres Trommelfeuer klassischer Rockabilly-Platten behaupten musste. Obwohl diese Single, Slow Down / A Fool For Lovin' You (Sun 240), ein regionaler Hit war, entschied sich Jack gegen Tourneen ' er unterstützte mit Hilfe seines Jobs lieber seine Familie und spielte abends Musik in Memphis. -- Während der mittsechziger Jahre zog Jack ' wie so viele andere Familien aus dem Süden ' in den Norden, sie ließen sich in Detroit, Michigan, nieder. Jack fuhr LKWs für Chrysler und bewegte sich innerhalb der seit langem etablierten Country-Szene der Stadt. Die Fans seiner Sun-Aufnahmen entdeckten ihn während der 70er-Jahre neu, und er spielte weitere Platten für Gary Thompsons Olympic-Label in Detroit ein ' und bewies so, dass seine Stimme an Kraft und Ausdruck noch gewonnen hatte. Seit den Neunzigern ist Jack Hauptact vieler Rockabilly- und Rock'n'Roll-Festivals in ganz Europa und in den USA. Inzwischen begeistert Jack die Fans von jeder Rock'n'Roll-Bühne, die er betritt. Ob er eine Stunde lang für Fans in Schweden singt oder in irgendeiner Bar in Detroit ' Jack gibt immer alles, und dadurch existiert der Memphis-Rockabilly weiter. -- Die vorliegende Sammlung besteht aus zwei Jack-Earls-CDs. Sie enthält sämtliche Sun-Sessions mit den Jimbos (inklusive mehrerer unveröffentlichter Titel); dazu gibt es Jacks Einspielungen aus Detroit ' beginnend mit der ersten kommerziellen Aufnahme von Take Me To That Place für Ry-Ho von 1973 bis zu I Started Rockin' A Long Time Ago. In einem ausführlichen Interview (auf Disc 2) lässt Jack seine musikalische Karriere Revue passieren, und er erzählt ausgesprochen lebhafte Geschichten darüber, wie er in Memphis gerockt hat. Diese Kopplung unterstreicht die zeitlose Qualität von Jacks Stimme (eine Stimme, die Sam Phillips 1955 für sein Sun-Label ausgesucht hat); eine Stimme, die genauso gut ist wie die vieler anderer, berühmterer Phillips-Entdeckungen: Eine Stimme wie reines Rockabilly-Feuer.
BCD 16935 (2-CD digipack with Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Billy Riley and Warren Smith were among his friends and label-mates! Two CDs of music spanning 40 years, plus an in-depth interview. Hear Jack tell about his wild life in Memphis, during the rockin' fifties! The ultimate collection of one of Sun Records' earliest rockabilly bands, the Jimbos, with several previously unissued Sun tracks! -- Jack Earls witnessed the birth of rockabilly in Memphis, and slapped its infant behind. It was called rock'n'roll, but it was a new rock, crafted by a community of working men and country musicians striving to get records out on Sam Phillips' Sun label. Jack's neighbors included Elvis Presley, Johnny and Dorsey Burnette, Paul Burlison, Johnny and Bill Black, and many other musicians. Between 1955 and 1957, Jack wrote and recorded his own songs with his own band, the Jimbos. From several sessions at Sun, Jack saw a single release in early 1956, issued among a barrage of classic rockabilly platters. Although his record Slow Down b / w A Fool For Lovin' You (Sun 240) was a regional hit, Jack decided against touring and supported his family by working days and playing music in Memphis at night. -- During the mid-1960s, Jack and his family joined the century's great migration of Southern-born people moving north, and they settled in Detroit, Michigan. Jack drove trucks for the Chrysler Corporation, and swam in the long-established country scene of the city. Rediscovered by fans of his Sun recordings during the 1970s, Jack made more records for Gary Thompson's Olympic label in Detroit, showing the world that his voice had grown in power and expression. Since the nineties, Jack has headlined at rockabilly and rock'n'roll festivals across Europe and the United States. Today, the voice and personality of Jack Earls win over fans of rock'n'roll at any stage he mounts. Whether he sings an hour for a crowd of thousands in Sweden, or he sits in with a local band in a Detroit bar, Jack gives it everything he's got, and Memphis rockabilly lives on. -- This collection presents two CDs of Jack Earls, including every Sun session with the Jimbos (with several previously unissued tracks); and all of Jack's recordings made in Detroit, from the first commercial release of Take Me To That Place on Ry-Ho in 1973, to his 1999 I Started Rockin' A Long Time Ago. In an extended interview with Jack on disc two, he recaps his musical career and tells vivid stories about rockin' in Memphis. With this collection, we witness the timeless quality of Jack's voice ' a voice that Sam Phillips personally chose for his Sun label in 1955 ' a voice as unique as any of Phillips' other, more famous discoveries ' a voice of pure rockabilly fire.
