Country Music Classics: Webb Pierce & Chet Atkins Reviews
It's All Wrong!
If you wanna hear some proper country music listen to The Rolling Stones' "Faraway Eyes" and "Satisfaction". As a matter of fact this disc is such a BURN that Webb Pierce hasn't learnt the proper words to "Walkin' The Dog" and sings his own that he probably made up on the spot. All in all, this is just a bunch of old geezers parading around in their pajamas on stage and it looks like Sunday Afternoon Concert in the Old Folks Home featuring the inmates. Get The Supersuckers instead. Eddie Spaghetti plays better GEETAR and Chet Atkins could use some lessons from HIM.
this CD rocks!
This wonderful CD is worth watching just to check out Webb Pierce's neon-bright cowboy clothes -- which include a turquoise suit emblazoned with hot pink hibiscus blossoms, a tan suit embroidered with treble clefs and spider webs, and best of all --a bright yellow suit with two rhinestone-circled black delta record albums -- one on each chest. The singing is great, although Webb gets to be a wee bit monotonous. The CD goes back & forth between Webb & Chet -- Chet Atkins' guitar playing is unbelievably good, and contrasts well with Webb's absent-minded strumming. This CD was made before everything was choreographed to the hilt & entertainers all had perfect white teeth and highlighted hair. This is real, and pretty hokey. There are folks sitting on hay bales all over the stage -- including a girl in a gingham shirt & rolled up bluejeans, chewing on a piece of straw (!), women with red lips & dirty blond hair looking positively bored, fidgeting on the bales of hay and swaying back & forth to the music, guys in plaid shirts with neckerchiefs, clapping to the beat. At one point, there's a sheep on the stage. Guest appearances by Marty Robbins & my favorite, little Jimmy Dickens, are a bonus. The highlight is Webb leading a trio in "He's in the Jailhouse Now" -- sounding much more vintage than the "Oh, Brother" version, followed closely by a trio of "Why, Baby, Why." This is well worth it for any fan of old country music (or country kitsch).
