Eine der seltsamsten Geschichten der Country Music ist jene vom Polka-Bandleader namens Frank Kuczynski aus Wisconsin, der zu Pee Wee King wurde, eine Big Band in die Grand Ole Opry brachte und dann einige der größten Hits in der Geschichte der Country Music schrieb. Mit dieser umfangreichen CD-Box lernen sie seine Geschichte und seine Musik mit den Originalversionen von ‚Tennessee Waltz‘, ‚Slow Poke‘ und ‚Bonaparte's Retreat‘ kennen. Hinzu kommen weniger bekannte Klassiker wie ‚Tennessee Central #9‘, ‚Ten Gallon Boogie‘, ‚Jukebox Blues‘, ‚Bull Fiddle Boogie‘, ‚Birmingham Bounce‘, ‚Plantation Boogie‘ und sogar die erste Coverversion von ‚Blue Suede Shoes‘. Alles in allem sind es 151 Aufnahmen, die zwischen 1946 und 1958 für RCA und Bullet aufgenommen wurden. Nichts hat jemals besser geswingt als die Golden West Cowboys! Pee Wee starb am 7. März 2000 im Alter von 86 Jahren.
6-CD box (LP-size) with 66-page book, 152 tracks. Playing time approx. 402 mns. -- One of the strangest stories in country music is how a polka bandleader called Frank Kuczynski from Wisconsin became Pee Wee King and led a big band on the Opry, then wrote several of the biggest hits in country music history. The story is here, and the music is here, including the original versions of ‚Tennessee Waltz‘, ‚Slow Poke‘ and ‚Bonaparte's Retreat‘, as well as lesser-known classics like ‚Tennessee Central #9‘, ‚Ten Gallon Boogie‘, ‚Jukebox Blues‘, ‚Bull Fiddle Boogie‘, ‚Birmingham Bounce‘, ‚Plantation Boogie‘, and even the first cover version of ‘Blue Suede Shoes’. All told, there are 151 songs cut for RCA and Bullet between 1946 and 1958. Nothing swung harder than the Golden West Cowboys! After suffering a heart-attack on February 28, Pee Wee King died March 7, 2000 at age 86.
