| un petit CD bien sympathique chez Rev-o-la, qui chronique cet excellent guitariste qu'etait Grady Martin. Il a créé les solos de plus de morceaux estampillés "rockabilly" que bien d'autres! Oui, c'est bien lui qui a mis le feu derriere Johnny Burnette et Johnny Carroll!GRADY MARTINRoughneck Blues 1949-1956 CRBAND26San Antonio Rose - Grady Martin & His Slew Foot Five My Window Faces The South - Red Foley With Grady Martin & His Winging Strings A-Sleeping At The Foot Of The Bed - Little Jimmy Dicken Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy - Red Foley Diesel Smoke, Dangerous Curves - Burl Ives With Grady Martin & His Slew Foot Five (Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I - Dottie Dillard & Jack Shook With Grady Martin & His Slew Foot Five Hillbilly Fever - Little Jimmy Dickens Birmingham Bounce - Red Foley Don't You Worry - Cecil Gant It Ain't Gonna Be Like That - Cecil Gant I'm A Big Boy Now - Justin Tubb My Girl And His Girl - Danny Dill Roughneck Blues - Al Terry Bird Dog - Don Woody Juke Joint Johnny - Red Sovine I'm A One Woman Man - Johnny Horton Baby's Gone - Vernon Claud Shake Baby Shake - Wayne Raney All I Can Do Is Cry - Wayne Walker It Would Be A Doggone Lie - Autry Inman I'm Hungry For Your Lovin' - Danny Dill Three Alley Cats - Roy Hall Rock Billy Boogie - Johnny Burnette Crazy, Crazy Lovin' - Johnny Carroll & His Hot Rocks You're Barking Up The Wrong Tree - Don Woody Bigelow 6-200 - Little Brenda Lee Everybody's Rockin' But Me - Bobby Lord I'm Coming Home - Johnny Horton Rock Around With Ollie Vee - Buddy Holly Modern Don Juan - Buddy Holly The Train Kept A-Rollin' - The Johnny Burnette Trio When My Dream Boat Comes Home - Grady Martin & His Slew Foot Five Grady Martin plays the memorable riff on Roy Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman." That alone makes him candidate for Rock 'n' Roll sainthood! However, he also helped invent 'guitar distortion.' A tube was blown in the middle of a take at a Marty Robbins session and the resulting fuzz-toned solo was left in the song, the 1961 smash hit "Don't Worry."Besides Chet Atkins, Martin was the only studio musician to play with both Hank Williams and Elvis Presley.. It was he who played the throbbing leads on Johnny Horton's 1956 hit "Honky Tonk Man," the exquisite nylon string guitar on Marty Robbins's 1959 crossover smash "El Paso," and Lefty Frizzell's 1964 "Saginaw Michigan." Though studio musicians in those days rarely received credit for their work, Martin's efforts didn't go unnoticed. Producers often designated him "session leader," which meant he led the musicians and directed the impromptu arrangements that became a landmark of Nashville sessions. First ever CD collection of the finest work of this Nashville legend, beautifully re-mastered by Norman Blake and Joe Foster!Source sur http://www.revola.co.uk/ |
