Country 1951-1958
(5-CD LP-sized box set with 20-page book) There's astonishing versatility here: hillbilly string band music, folk, rockabilly, Hawaiian, and western music. Marty stamped his own identity on it all. Here are the great early hits: <i>I'll Go On Alone</i>, <i>That's All Right</i>, <i>Mean Mama Blues</i>, <i>Maybelline</i>, <i>Tennessee Toddy</i>, <i>Mister Teardrop</i>, <i>Singing The Blues</i>, <i>Knee Deep In The Blues</i>, and <i>I Can't Quit</i>. There's also the complete vocal-guitar session of folk songs and traditional songs, the first Hawaiian LP, the rock 'n' roll sides, and the duets. Essential! The fifth CD is a complete session, including all the false starts and alternate takes, for a real fly-on-the-wall listening experience!
