Duncan, Johnny - Last Train To San Fernando

Johnny Duncan
Last Train To San Fernando
Box with 4 CDs & 28-page book
Bear Family Records BCD 15947 DI

Obwohl er in den 50ern nur einige wenige Songs in den Charts hatte mit Last Train To San Fernando, Footprints In The Snow und Blue Blue Heartaches, hatte Duncan eine riesige Fangemeinde. Seine späteren Aufnahmen waren mehr country als skiffle doch behielt er einen eigenen Stil bei. Um diesen Mann und seine Musik zu würdigen war dieser Set überfällig. Er enthält sämtliche Original Aufnahmen für Columbioa England, Pye, Lucky und Decca. Eine detaillierte Discographie und Biographie mit vielen nie vorher gezeigten Fotos ist mit dabei.

Skiffle was a phenomenon; Lonnie Donegan was a phenomenon. Many thought the two were the same thing, until rock 'n' roll killed off skiffle - and Lonnie became a fixture in the British music scene. Here is the complete story of Lonnie on Decca and Pye, from 1954 to 1966. Demos from Lonnie's personal collection and radio broadcasts round out the 209 songs on this set. These were the records that changed the face of music in England. From the groundbreaking Rock Island Line to the bandwagon-jumping World Cup Willie, all Donegan's hits and misses for Decca and Pye are here, together with rare and previously unissued tracks! Donegan may have been skiffle's great star but he graduated to make some fine pop and country recordings, all of which are included here. The box also contains a detailed discography, biography, dozens of fine pictures and memorabilia and an indepth interview with the man himself.
