Hank Locklin "Send Me The Pillow You Dream On" (1996) (box set) Once again, a jaw-dropping archival effort by the folks at Bear Family that is worth every penny they request. Some of it's on major label material, recorded for Capitol, but many of these tracks are from the teesy indie label, Everstate.

Total hayseed, and it oozes from his every syllable in the most delectable way. This feller - a good pal of Hank Williams' - was a I don't often indulge in such stereotypes, but then again, rarely are they so accurate. Hick as in back-woods, patched pants, oil-drilling, hard-timing, 'pea-pickin', tater patch tending HICK music.

Besides, when you take into consideration that domestic CDs are so expensive to begin with, and they rarely are as reliably great as Bear Family stuff, it's quite a deal! A few years back I made the psychological leap to where I could shell out the import prices for these releases, and rarely have had cause to regret it. Started back in 1979, Bear Family has long been a symbol of a quality product - the sound quality is always superior, the music selection is almost always phenomenal, and each CD usually from 20 to 30 tracks on it. This German label is widely recognized as a class act. Slipcue E-Zine: Bear Family Records (label profile) (Country page 2)
