Bill Haley - The Legendary Cowboy Recordings
Recordings made right at the beginning of Bill Haley's recording career during the 1940's. Fascinating stuff for his fans. James E. Myers of disk-manufacturing Cowboy Records Company, tells the story of the firm's policy and set-up in one sentence. "The top cowboy artists singing the top cowboy songs on Cowboy Records." A look at the records shows that Myers has something there, since he's taken over practically the entire staff of artists on ABC's Hayloft Hoedown radio show. Recording for Cowboy both as a group and individually are the Santa Fe Rangers, Shorty Long, Jack Day, Rusty Keefer and Pee Wee Miller; the Sleepy Hollow Ranch Gang, Pancake Pete and Elmer Newman; the Murray Sisters, and Monty Rosci, every one of them outstanding attractions for the Hoedown netter. Offices located at 138 North 12th Street, Philadelphia 7, Pa. This was in the mid-Forties.
"Although best-remembered for his 1955 single 'Rock Around the Clock', which fired rock & roll's first clear shot across the bow of pop music, Bill Haley's initial recordings appeared a decade earlier on the Cowboy Records label. Specializing in a sort of polka-country-swing -- a style that combined accordions with pedal steel -- Cowboy released Haley's first single, 'Candy Kisses', in 1948. A half dozen or so Bill Haley tracks appear on this collection of Cowboy artists, and while these cuts display some verve and energy, and even some yodeling, don't expect any proto-rock & roll here. Also included are tracks by Pancake Pete Newman, Ray Whitley, the Murray Sisters, and others, making this an interesting historical document of 1940s hillbilly country."
