Floyd Cramer - Class of '68 & Class of '69
Vocalion presents on CD two of pianist Floyd Cramer’s albums from the late 1960s. Floyd’s “Class of …” series of albums were hugely popular, and showcased his country-tinged piano style in a batch of popular tunes drawn from a specific year. On these two albums, Floyd – whose piano playing is heard on the majority of Elvis Presley’s recordings – leads us through a delightful selection of hit tunes from 1968 and 1969, with orchestral arrangements by his regular collaborators Bill McElhiney and Don Tweedy. Remastered from the original stereo tapes for Vocalion's trademark crystal-clear sound quality. 23 tracks.
