Product Description

Given the track list of Country & Western Hit Parade 1952, an entry in Bear Family s stellar series of releases on the theme, one can see that for country music fans, this was an amazing year all around. Imagine some of these songs pouring out of your radio or being played on a jukebox in a dancehall: Hank Thompson's honky tonk classic Wild Side of Life, Jimmie Dean s nugget "Bummin Around," Carl Smith s Are You Teasing Me, Webb Pierce s Wondering, Hank Snow s "Gold Rush Is Over," and Bill Monroe s Raw Hide, to name a few. This 26-track compilation selects all Top Ten tracks for inclusion, though some were relegated to obscurity soon after. The latter group contains Lattie Moore s Juke Joint Johnny, and Jim Eames' I Cried Again, but this is also the year that saw Kitty Wells lay down her classic It Wasn t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels, and Hank Williams "Jambalaya (On the Bayou). These are all here, plus another dozen or so all-killer, no-filler cuts from country music s grand history. As is customary for all releases on Bear Family, the set includes exhaustive liner notes, complete track information, and great photos. The entire set is packaged in a hardback bound digipack -- it s worth every penny; actually, the entire series is. For fans of traditional country & western music, this set is essential listening. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi

Boy howdy, this elixir ails yin's ills.
By Scott McWade
Every disc in this series, logically begun at 1945 and now upto 1965, have a story to tell but 1952 might be one of the more historically significant of the series. Kitty's Honky Tonk Angels, Bill Haley's proto rock, Hank Thompson's Wild Side, Big Bill Lister's Tear in his Beer, Slim Whitman's Indian Love Call. Strange, beautiful, this is all that country music could ever hope to be. It's authenticity and it's authority over the subject matter, have become this series' stock in trade. CDs are a dying commodity, you gotta earn it, Bear Family is killing it.

Bear Family Does It Again!!
By Donald Offutt
Bear Family just seems to keep getting it right when releasing music from another era!! I recall may of these being played by my parents on the old Victerola!! In those days it was 78R PM. Many today do not know about record formats what with MP3 and Ipods dominating!! Thank you Bear Family for bringing back these songs and artists that now are long forgotten. Keep on reissuing this kind of music for us ol' folks!!!
