Grady Martin
Roughneck Blues 1949 – 1956 |
| crband26 | |
 Released 08/06/09. Grady Martin plays the memorable riff on Roy Orbison's "Oh Pretty Woman." That alone makes him candidate for Rock'n'Roll sainthood. However, he also helped invent 'guitar distortion.' A tube was blown in the middle of a take at a Marty Robbins session and the resulting fuzz-toned solo was left in the song, the 1961 smash hit "Don't Worry."Besides Chet Atkins, Martin was the only studio musician to play with both Hank Williams AND Elvis Presley. Grady Martin is one of the true legends of Nashville's original "A-Team". He led Red Foley's band on the ABC-TV show Ozark Jubilee. With a strong business relationship with legendary Decca A&R man Owen Bradley, Martin began to record instrumental singles and LPs for Decca. This is a long overdue re-press for this definitive 32 track CD of Grady Martin's greatest moments! Listen and weep! First ever CD collection of the finest work of this Nashville legend, beautifully remastered by Norman Blake and Joe Foster! Deluxe packaging with detailed notes by Dave Penny and is a work of total genius; a must for everyone who likes music!

 Released 29/06/09. Revola proudly presents one of the major artyfacts of the 1960s...an album with possibly the most beautiful soundscapes ever committed to tape, the sound of universal love! Virtually a collaboration between Gary Usher and Curt Boettcher, both in their own right near-geniuses of pop-psych the album also features a plethora of stars and strange bedfellows, from The Firesign Theatre to The Millennium, from Glen Campbell to The Wrecking Crew, from Beach Boy Bruce Johnston to future Bread man Jimmy Griffin, yep, they are all here...as well as an extensively remastered version of the original 1968 relase, the CD features a whole raft of single mixes (so radically different), out-takes and demos, pretty much doubling the length of your immersion in this wonderful experience... Anyone who does not love or indeed fall in love to this album must have a shrunken heart!Another Time / Song To The Magic Frog / You Know I’ve Found A Way / The Keeper Of The Games / Glass / Would You Like To Go / My World Fell Down / Hotel Indiscreet / I’m Not Living Here / Musty Dusty / The Truth Is Not Real / Artificial Light (Of All The Living Lies) / Get The Message / Mass # 586 / Love’s Fatal Way / My World Fell Down (Mono Single Version) / Hotel Indiscreet (Mono Single Version) / Lonely Girl / The Keeper Of The Games (Demo Version) / Sister Marie (Instrumental) | |

 Released 29/06/09. Legendary American rock / beat combo that hardly need any introduction here! Suffice to say that after being the first rock band to sign to Columbia Records (CBS) they generated an incredibly impressive run of 25 hit singles in the American charts! John Peel was a big fan too and Rev-Ola are now delighted to present what is probably the definitive introduction to this revered (pun intended!) band! Check out such classics as ‘Him Or Me – What’s It Gonna Be’, ‘Steppin’ Out’, ‘Kicks’ and of course the original version of ‘I’m Not Your Steppin’ Stone’ which is rated as by far the best by many rock fans.Kicks / Him or Me – What's it Gonna Be? / Hungry / Let Me!
