DVD Reviews of The Nashville Sound
DVD Review: GREAT REAL COUNTRY MUSIC
Summary: 5 Stars
I've searched for so long for this DVD. Or any like it. I'm not through looking yet either. This one has just a few of the perfect shows I've seen in my youth featuring the performers that I idolized. And I still love very much. I will never get tired of OLD REAL COUNTRY music. And I'm afraid it's about to disappear. So I'm getting all that I can while the getting is good. It was a treat to see the part with Loretta bantering with her band. She was a funny lady. The portion with Johnny Cash: I had forgotten he was ever that young and handsome. Of course when he made that appearance on the Opry, we were all still screaming for Elvis and didn't want anyone to be better than Elvis. Well, I have to say, after seeing this again of Johnny Cash singing, he was an excellent singer. I never thought that in my young days. It is such a treat to have a record of Roy Acuff balancing his Fiddle Bow on his (I use to think) nose. I see now in this DVD he actually had it in a pipe of some sort he was holding in his mouth. It was brief, but I saw it. And to see Earl Scruggs and his sons, and Lester Flatt with his new band (at the time). I remember being so sad when they broke up. And one of Charley Pride's earliest appearances at the Opry. I remember one of his first shows where he came on stage and he saw people whispering to one another, and he just said, "yes, folks, it's true, I'm Charley Pride". Or something like that. And I think he told someone that he heard someone in the audience say very loudly, "he really is". The masses back then had to be convinced the guy singing those songs on the radio was a black man. Back then we called him a Negro. Which was meant with respect. And it was as opposed to what most southerners called him. He had them standing with an ovation at the end of the show. And then there was Bill Monroe out on stage doing his jig. It is just perfect, but just not enough of it. I have to have more. I really want to find one with Don Gibson performing. I just loved watching him pick his guitar. I read in one of the books I have that Elvis heard him picking and rehearsing one day at Studio B, where they both recorded. Elvis asked Chet Atkins (who produced for both of them) who that was and Chet told him and Elvis told Chet he wanted Chet to get Don to show him how he made those licks. I believe Chet had told him that Don called it 2-finger picking. Chet asked Don and Don told Chet to tell Elvis to get his own style of picking. Chet went back and told Elvis that he'd have to talk Don into teaching it to him. He never did.
Thanks to Amazon for all these wonderful CDs and DVDs I'm finding.
