Kundenrezensionen zu 'Appalachian Stomp 1-Bluegrass'
Great introduction to traditional bluegrass (20. September 2004)
Bluegrass music has seen an upsurge in popularity recently. Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Steve Earle, the O brother soundtrack and the various O sister compilations have all contributed. However, while some of that music is traditional, much of it is a modernised form of the music. Nothing wrong with that, of course - bluegrass, like every other form of music, must modernise or die, and some of it is pure magic - but this compilation draws on the roots of bluegrass, containing many old classics, especially from the fifties, sixties and seventies.Bill Monroe invented bluegrass and his original version of Uncle Pen opens this set. It was later covered by Ricky Skaggs, himself represented by Little cabin home on the hill, a cover of another Bill Monroe song. Bill puts in another appearance here with his version of Blue moon of Kentucky - a song that was covered by Elvis.
Foggy mountain breakdown became famous after its use in the 1968 movie, Bonnie and Clyde. Flatt and Scruggs originally recorded it in 1949 and it is that original version that is on this set.
The Ballad of Jed Clampett was used as the theme for a TV series, The Beverly hillbillies. When released as a single, it topped the country charts.
Rocky top was written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, famous as songwriters for the Everly brothers (who eventually recorded the song for their Pass the chicken and listen album). It was a country hit for both Lynn Anderson and the Osborne brothers. Lynn's version was the more successful, but it is the Osborne version that is included here - rightly, as this is a bluegrass collection.
Duelling banjos was a huge American pop hit after its use in the movie Deliverance. Other bluegrass classics here include Orange blossom special and Roll in my sweet baby's arms.
This is an excellent collection of bluegrass music, ideal as a sampler of what bluegrass used to be like. If you enjoy modern bluegrass and you're not familiar with the oldies, this is the best way to find out. And just to provide you with something familiar, an early Alison Krauss track is included right at the end.
Besser geht's nicht! (1. Dezember 2001)
Appalachian Stomp stellt ein absolutes Highlight der Country-Music im Genre Bluegrass dar. Hier findet sich ein wundervoller Querschnitt aus fast 6 Jahrzehnten dieser lebendigen, mitreißenden Musikrichtung - ohne wenn und aber! Für neue Freunde des Bluegrass empfehlenswert, genauso wie für die "alten Hasen", die hier ein "The Best of" vorfinden. Hinzu kommt ein sehr informatives Booklet, so dass hier die Höchstnote von 5 Sternen angebracht ist. Mein Rat: Zugreifen, ehe die CD vergriffen sein sollte!Kurt-André Lion
