Sugartime

Sugartime

35 track compilation of Charlie Phillips, a Buddy Holly contemporary. With his 4-octave range, Phillips is one of the most soulful and accomplished singers to emerge from West Texas. His first professional session (with Buddy Holly on guitar) generated Sugartime... one of the most covered songs of the century. The follow-up, Be My Bride, made its CD debut on That'll Flat Git It! Volume 9 and is the only track in this package to have had prior European release. Thats how rare this stuff is!
Bonus tracks? We have them. Theres the original previously unissued demos of Sugartime (1956) and the rockabilly classic Faker (1958). A studio master of You're My LSD which needs to be heard to be believed. Plus a concert medley of Whole Lotta Shakin' / Johnny Be Goode / The Twist / Rock Around The Clock / Sugartime backed by several members of the Texas Playboys shows a side of Charlie not heard in any of his other recordings. Backing musicians throughout this CD include Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison, Glen Campbell, Al Casey and the cream of Nashville's session men. Charlie himself collaborated with John Ingman on a comprehensive biography for this set, part of a 72-page booklet that also includes many unpublished photos. This collection fits alongside those of fellow West Texans in the BEAR FAMILY catalogue: The Crickets, Buddy Knox & Jimmy Bowen, Terry Noland and Roy Orbison.
