• Rich-R-Tone Records war eins von mehreren Labels, die James Hobart Stanton aus Johnson City, Tennessee über mehrere Jahrzehnte ins Leben rief.

• Bear Family Records® widmet dem Katalog von Rich-R-Tone und dem Unter-Label Folk Star eine ausgewachsene CD-Box mit 317 Aufnahmen.

• Stets seiner Zeit voraus, produzierte Stanton Ende der 1940er / Anfang der ›50 Jahre bahnbrechende Bluegrass-Aufnahmen und kraftvolle, teils revolutionäre Beispiele regionaler Roots Music.

• Honky-Tonk Country, Country-Boogie, Folk und Gospel sowie Old-Time-Musik und Novelty-Nummern aus den Appalachen.

• Das Projekt wurde vom Historiker Ted Olson, Professor für Studien der Appalachenkultur an der East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, von Matt Ringressi, Plattensammler, Discograph und Forscher sowie Richard Weize, Gründer von Bear Family betreut.

• Die historischen Tondokumente durchliefen einem auswändigen Säuberungs- und Mastering-Prozess für bestmöglichen Qualität.

• Das 148-seitige Begleitbuch enthält ungezählte Illustrationen, seltene Bilder, diskografische Informationen und die ausführliche Geschichte rund um das Label, den Produzenten und die Musiker.

• Eine der bedeutendsten Dokumentationen der populären Musik jener Region im Osten Tennessees aus der Zeit nach dem II. Weltkrieg und ein großartiges Sammlerstück!

Obwohl er knapp bei Kasse war und kaum kommerziellen Erfolg hatte, betrieb James Hobart Stanton, ein Do-It-Yourself-Unternehmer aus Johnson City, Tennessee mit einem Aufnahmestudio über mehrere Jahrzehnte hinweg verschiedene Musikunternehmen. Dabei produzierte er kraftvolle, sogar revolutionäre Aufnahmen, die die Zukunft der amerikanischen Musik maßgeblich mitgestaltet haben.

Rich-R-Tone Records, eines von mehreren Labels, die Stanton gründete, war seiner Zeit voraus, als er das junge Genre des Bluegrass förderte, und war auch ein Prototyp für kleine unabhängige Plattenfirmen, die regionale Roots-Musik für ein nationales Publikum dokumentierten und vermarkteten. Im Falle von Rich-R-Tone war das nationale Publikum, das in der Zeit der größten Aktivität des Labels (Ende der 1940er und Anfang der 1950er Jahre) Schallplatten kaufte, für die bahnbrechenden Platten des Unternehmens nicht sehr empfänglich. Dennoch veröffentlichten Rich-R-Tone und sein Tochterlabel Folk Star nicht nur bahnbrechende Platten von wichtigen Künstlern der ersten Stunde des Bluegrass (The Stanley Brothers, The Bailey Brothers, The Church Brothers, The Sauceman Brothers, Wilma Lee und Stoney Cooper, Jim Eanes, Curly King und Pee Wee Lambert), sondern dokumentierten auch viele andere Genres der Musik aus den Appalachen der Nachkriegszeit (Honky-Tonk Country und Country-Boogie, Folk und Gospel sowie Oldtime-Musik und Novelty-Nummern).

Zusammen brachten diese beiden Labels in den Jahren 1946-1954 knapp 320 Aufnahmen auf 78er-Schellackplatten heraus. Stantons Vermächtnis wird heute international gewürdigt. Dieses Set von BEAR FAMILY RECORDS® enthält alle erhaltenen Rich-R-Tone- und Folk Star-Aufnahmen aus dieser Zeit, die liebevoll remastert und kuratiert wurden, um die Geschichte von James Hobart Stanton und seinem unerschütterlichen Respekt für die Musik der Menschen aus
