PRESS ON won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album.
For the first album in years by an artist with as many famous friends as June Carter Cash, there's a distinct absence of pomp and circumstance here. In fact, PRESS ON has a homegrown, spontaneous feel not dissimilar to Johnny Cash's AMERICAN RECORDINGS. Like that album, PRESS ON sounds like it was recorded live in a single sitting (the songs were in fact captured at a makeshift studio in a log cabin at the "Cash Compound"). The record is a raw, all-acoustic affair featuring country/bluegrass legends like Norman Blake, Rodney Crowell and Marty Stuart, as well as various members of the Cash/Carter clan. Many of the songs are June's, and there's a purity to the blend of gospel, bluegrass and country that characterizes the style. When she lends her pipes to a couple of Carter Family classics, it becomes clear that her place in country history has to do with much more than her famous last name(s).
Includes liner notes by June Carter Cash and Vicky Hamilton.
Personnel: June Carter Cash (vocals, autoharp); Johnny Cash (vocals); Norman Blake (acoustic & electric guitars, dobro); Marty Stuart (acoustic guitar, mandolin, background vocals); Rodney Crowell (acoustic guitar); Hazel Johnson (mandolin); Jason Carter (fiddle); Benmont Tench (piano); Dave Roe (bass); Rick Lonow (drums); Rosie Carter (background vocals).
Rolling Stone (5/27/99, pp.64-65) - 31/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...earthy vocals, chiming autoharp, kooky asides, little flubs and infectious laugh, as well as the players delicious acoustic licks..."
Entertainment Weekly (4/23/99, p.63) - "...Her second solo album--her first was in 1975--is autobiographical, full of dignity and toughness. With ex-sons-in-law Rodney Crowell and Marty Stuart sitting in for some fancy pickin', the circle is unbroken still." - Rating: B
Dirty Linen (10-11/99, p.73) - "...One should listen to this record for its back-porch charm, for her stark voice that sounds great....this is a great record by a rich talent..."

Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled all of Otis' Excelsior recordings, made in Los Angeles between 1945 and 1947. This provides background and context for his more well-known Savoy material, and indeed for everything this amazing person accomplished during the second half of the 20th ...

Press On
$18.79
This CD contains B.B. King's first ABC-Paramount studio efforts -- Mr. Blues (1962) and Confessin' the Blues (1965), respectively. While there are inevitable similarities between the projects, offering them back-to-back allows listeners an acute sense of King's rapid maturation and development during what was by all accounts the nexus of the guitarist/vocalist's career. The dozen-song Mr. Blues was a haphazard start for King with the contents taken from three different recording sessions in a 13-month period (March 1, 1962 through April 11, 1963). Based on the results, the artist was being presented as a blues shouter, supported by an antiquated big band and/or orchestra. Arguably the best of the lot comes from the Maxwell Davis led ensemble on the first of several Big Joe Turner tunes, the Ahmet Ertegun penned "Chains of Love." The upgrade of Ivory Joe Hunter's "Blues at Midnight" is closer to the spirit of modern era King as he aptly demonstrates his singular testifyin' ...
