Sanford Clark: They Call Me Country
Released in July 2019. Finally available in the U.S. from the original UK LP. The original 12 tracks PLUS 8 bonus tracks! *** The album is no longer in print *** With a great set of songs (three Lee Hazlewood covers) and a studio packed with super pickers including Waylon Jennings, Buddy Wheeler, Donnie Owens, Billy Williams, Buddy Long, Jimmy Bryant, Jerry Gropp, Jimmie Gray and Ritchie Albright. CD includes full notes by John P. Dixon with session information. Also included here are Clark's first two recordings with Al Casey....before "The Fool"! It's a CD in a Eco-Wallet that is shrink wrapped. Propelled by his 1956 Lee Hazlewood- produced hit "The Fool," Sanford Clark was already a rockabilly legend in his own right by the time he swapped his hair gel and switchblade for a pair of cowboy boots on They Call Me Country. Recorded between 1965-67 and originally released as a series of singles for Phoenix's Ramco label, the tracks on this CD borrow Bakersfield's outlaw sound and ignore Nashville's countrypolitan flair, standing as a true lost masterpiece of country music's third generation. Clark's booming baritone tells tales of bar fights, heartaches, and drinking til you can't stand, while Waylon Jennings provides a backdrop of fuzzed out guitar twang. Mastered from the original session tapes and this CD version includes all 12 tracks from the original album, PLUS 8 BONUS TRACKS !! Ramco Records CS-716
