Other Side of Bakersfield : Vol. 2-Other Side of Bakersfield
CD digipac with 52-page booklet. This CD collection (in two volumes) is devoted exclusively to Bakersfield rockabilly, boogie, hillbilly bop and teen rock! Hear pioneers of country music's Bakersfield Sound like Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Ferlin Husky, Red Simpson, Tommy Collins, Bill Woods, Billy Mize, Fuzzy Owen, and Herb Henson in their rockin' formative years. Highlights are independent Bakersfield labels, such as Tally, Fire, Grande, Bakersfield Records, Global, Pike, Mosrite, and others. Many of the tracks are released on CD here for the very first time. From established legends like Tommy Duncan and Johnny Bond to collector favorites like Custer Bottoms and Vancie Flowers, this is the story of the non-country influences that shaped the West Coast's country sound. Massive, beautifully illustrated booklets with detailed notes, biographical information, rare photos, and tons of background on the Bakersfield artists and labels who embraced rock 'n' roll on their way to a new kind of country sound.
