JOHNNY HORTON

Né le 3 avril 1929 à Tyler, Texas. A onze ans il accompagne sa mère à la guitare et devient un brillant athlète de basket-ball, du collège de Jacksonville (Texas) jusqu’à l’Université de Seattle (Washington). Il travaille ensuite dans l’industrie du poisson en Alaska et en Californie où il fait ses débuts sous le nom de « The singing fisherman », au début des années 50.

En 1951 il enregistre du hillbilly (deux singles publiés chez Cormac) et pase sur le label Abbott (les titres Abbott, très rares, ont été réédités sur les albums « Johnny Horton » Dot DLP-3221, et «Johnny Horton with Hillbilly Barton Don Hughes » Crown CLP 520).

En 1953 il se produit régulièrement sur la scène du Louisiana Hayride de Shreveport en Louisiane. Il enregistre alors pour Mercury (« Tennessee Jive » Mercury 70100 et album «The Fantastic Johnny Horton » MG 20 478, hélas non réédité) et signe pour Colombia où il obtient un premier hit en 1956 avec « Honky Tonk Man » (Colombia 21504), un superbe hillbilly-rock de style Honky Tonk. Vinrent ensuite les rockabillies légendaires, « I’m Coming Home » en 1956 (Columbia 40 813) et « The Woman I need » en 1957 (Columbia 40 919) avec Grady Martin à la guitare.

En décembre 1957 il grave son chef-d’œuvre, « Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor » (Columbia 41110) avec l’étonnante partie de basse électrique tenue par le génial Grady Martin. Malgré ces réussites rééditées en 1981 sur l’album « Rockin’ Rollin’ » Bear Family BFX 15069 (seize titres essentiels dont « Sal’s Got A Sugar Lip » écrit par Jimmy Driftwood et « Lover’s Rock »). Johnny ne s’imposa pas avant 1959, année de « When it’s Springtime In Alaska » et du fameux « The Battle Of New Orléans » ’un vieil air de file arrangé par Jimmie Dritftwood) qui fut le plus grand succès de sa carrière, classé n°1 au Top Fifty annuel. L’excellent « Johnny Reb » fut également un hit, suivi en 1960 de « Sing The Bismarck » et « North To Alaska » (pour le film du même nom, d’Henry Hathaway avec John Wayne).

Hélas Johnny Horton n’eut guère le temps de profiter de son immense notoriété. Endormi au volant, il se tua sur la route de Nashville le 5 novembre 1960. Son « Sleepy Eyed John » (humour noir prémonitoire ?) enregistré le 7 mars 1960 fut un hit posthume en 1961 (Columbia 41963). Il laissa un vide énorme et ne fut jamais remplacé. Vocaliste accrocheur, il fut l’in des brillants représentants du Honky Tonk et du Country & Western. Doué pour le Hillbilly, le rockabilly et la ballade folklorique, il aurait pu devenir aussi grand que Johnny Cash qui était son ami. De plus, ses succès country étaient intrésèquement aussi bons que ses perles hillbilly rock, moins connues. Son vocal de « The Battle Of New Orléans » constitue une performance hallucinante (contenant une sauvagerie qui va « crescendo ») alors que « Whispering Pines » révèle une sensiblilité rare et une douceur inhabituelle chez cet artiste complet. Ses rockabillies réédités par Bear Family sont également disponibles sur l’album « Honky Tonk Man » (US Columbia CS 8779), « The Spectacular Johnny Horton » (CS 8167) contient deux rockabillies peu connus, « The Golden Rocket » et le superbe « Cherokee Boogie » alors que ses titres succès figurent sur le « Greatest Hits » (PC 8396).
