Wizards Will Charm You
By Stan
This is an amazing collection and well worth if for the Speedy West disc alone. You might call it country with jazz influences. If you like Bob Wills, Milton Brown and others in this style you need this set. Truly amazing music.

Crucial forgotten music
By Comment Man
A single word comes to mind when first listening to these CDs--corny. Yep. Find this music on Anyjukebox, Anybar US and play a few cuts and you'd be lucky to exit without the entire joint viewing you as some strange avatar of Smalltown 1945. This is old timey music with a vengence--half the songs are instrumentals, and the vocal tracks' singers are closer to Bing Crosby than Lefty Frizzell or Hank Williams. The music is straightforward one-two-three-four and the arrangements are very simple--bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar or steelguitar and sometimes violin and drums. If there is a piano, it is a pianer, that tinkly sound found in the old Western movies. This is proto-country music, not Western Swing, and largely forgotten.Which is a complete shame. Because the guitar playing here is imaginative and wonderful, quicksilver licks sparkling across the fretboard in serendipitous ways. The steel guitar playing is amazing. You can hear the influence of the blues, of folk music, of Hawaiian music--all blended into a new and joyous music. This music clearly INFLUENCED in a crucial way country music, rockabilly, rock and roll, surf and even African music. (Yes! Listen to some of these cuts and then listen to King Sunny Ade.) Without this music, it is hard to imagine Scotty Moore or Carl Perkins--and without Scotty Moore or Carl Perkins, well, no Rock. Period.This music is worthy of listening to both for its historical importance and its sheer joyousness. This is some wonderful music. I read a story--which may be apocraphyl--about Charlie Parker going to a bar in the 1940s and playing some country music on the jukebox. He was listening intently to it, and one of his fellow musicians said, "Ah come on Bird, that music is so corny." And he replied, "Yeah, but they really mean it man." I can imagine, if that story is true, that he was playing some of the cuts from these CDs.This is a great collection.
