Subject: The Bristol Sessions Vol I From: Stewie Date: 15 Mar 03 - 08:37 PM The other day, I received a copy of Various Artists 'Country Legends: The Bristol Sessions Vol I' RCA/BMG Heritage 65131. It has been out for a while, but I was unaware of it. There may be some other oldtimey devotees who are unaware of it - hence this posting. I already had the fine 2-CD set from the Country Music Foundation that presented 35 of the 76 sides from Peer's Bristol Sessions in 1927, but only 4 of the RCA set's 18 tracks overlap with the CMF 2-CD set. The transfer and remastering of the recordings for the RCA compilation are marvellous - mostly by Doug Pomeroy with some tracks by John R.T. Davies, the best in the business. This set is well worth having. You can find a track listing and sound bites HERE An interesting interview with John R.T. Davies my be found by clicking here --Stewie. |

Subject: RE: The Bristol Sessions Vol I From: BanjoRay Date: 15 Mar 03 - 09:04 PM This John R.T.Davies is the guy known as Sheik Haroun el John R. T. Davies who used to play trombone, cornet and other instruments with the superb Temperance Seven, playing wonderfully authentic 20's white jazz. He really knows what old music should sound like. The samples sound great, I think this one must join the queue of stuff I must have. Cheers Ray |

Subject: RE: The Bristol Sessions Vol I From: masato sakurai Date: 15 Mar 03 - 09:32 PM Thanks for the info. There's another 2-disc album The Bristol Sessions. Charles Wolfe wrote a paper on the sessions: "The Legend That Peer Built: Reappraising the Bristol Sessions" (1989), which is also in The Country Reader: Twenty-five Years of the Journal of Country Music, ed. by Paul Kingsbury (Country Music Foundation Press/Vanderbilt University Press, 1996, pp. 3-18). ~Masato |
