 (1 Customer Review)
Bobby Ogdin, Gene Sisk (piano); Jack Williams (bass); Eddie Bayers (drums).
After a pair of hit singles (including the #1 country smash "Mama He's Crazy"), the Judds released their full-length debut in early 1984 and quickly became one of the biggest acts in country music. WHY NOT ME is an impressive debut for the mother-daughter duo of Naomi and Wynnona Judd. Unlike many country albums of the era, it doesn't sound particularly dated in retrospect, because the Judds stay relatively true to traditionalist country precepts. The sound is small-combo honky-tonk with occasional traces of rockabilly (the hopping "My Baby's Gone") and Patsy Cline-style epic heartbreak ("Bye Bye Baby Blues"), with liberal doses of no-nonsense attitude in the Loretta Lynn/Tammy Wynette tradition. With four major country hits, WHY NOT ME plays like a greatest hits album the first time out, and it remains one of the Judds' definitive statements.
Recorded at Creative Workshop, Nashville, Tennessee.
The Judds: Naomi Judd, Wynonna Judd (vocals).
Additional personnel: Don Potter (acoustic & electric guitars); Mark Casstevens (guitar, harmonica); Sonny Garrish (steel guitar, dobro);

| | Little Darlin' Sound Of Johnny Paycheck: In The Beginning CD (2004)
Why Not Me songs
$10.85
Johnny Paycheck's recordings for Aubrey Mayhew's Little Darlin' Records were compiled on CD on the tremendous 1996 Country Music Foundation release The Real Mr. Heartache, but that 24-track disc was only the tip of the iceberg with regard to his recordings for the label. Due to various legal reasons, recordings on Little Darlin' remained out of print for decades -- with the notable exception of The Real Mr. Heartache, that is -- but what was little known is that the LPs released during the '60s didn't cover all the material Paycheck recorded for the label. There were hundreds of sides that were never released, and they were tucked away in the vaults until Koch launched an ambitious reissue program in 2004, planning to release all of his recordings for the label in chronological order, beginning with the release of The Little Darlin' Sounds of Johnny Paycheck: The Beginning in May. To call this an important release is a bit of an understatement. Paycheck is one of the great figures of country music, a strong songwriter and a vocalist who influenced George Jones. He recorded the hardest of honky tonk, never straying from hardcore country even when he crossed over into the pop charts in the '70s, yet his music was varied and vibrant, never bound by the dogged conventions on conservatism.
This was true on his better-known, Billy Sherrill-produced recordings for Epic, but the music he cut with producer Aubrey Mayhew in the '60s is some of the wildest, hardest, purest country music ...

Why Not Me music CDs
$12.85
Kenny Rogers may be the grand old man of country pop, but in the mid-1990s, he fell off the mainstream/major-label radar. He didn't stop making music, but his records didn't make the same big footprint anymore. Newly signed to Capitol, his "comeback" bid, WATER & BRIDGES, is a tasteful, mature outing. Full of wistful longing, it finds a 68-year-old Rogers in contemplative mode, inhabiting characters that look back on their bittersweet pasts with a mixture of regret and sanguinity.
There are no good-time romps a la "The Gambler," and no "Islands in the Stream"-like mega-pop productions, but WATER & BRIDGES is still a far cry from the starkness of Johnny Cash's latter-day outings. Those ...

The Swingers performed in places such as Under the Stairs" Jimmy Ryan’s Village Gate" and The Library Club. After fifteen years of abuses treatment from Freddie both mental and physical, with pain in her heart Sheba had to move on.Sheba returned to Miami and teamed up with Yosiah Israel who was a keyboard player, he immediately fell in love with her voice and together they produced numerous original songs. Sheba and Yosiah were jazzy performers and were able to ...
