Bob Gibson The Living Legend Years Recordings.
Zwei weitere CDs ausgeliefert: Funky in the Country und Homemade Music
„We are excited to announce that not only is the 2nd CD, Funky in the Country, now shipping as scheduled, but the 3rd CD in the series, Gibson & Camp: Homemade Music, is available and shipping as well – a full four weeks early!
We now have clips on the web site for all the songs on the three released CDs, and some clips for the two other CDs. Visit the album page for each CD to hear the samples. We will be adding clips of the remaining songs in the next week.
All pre-orders of the two CDs have been shipped. The compilation CD, The Living Legend Years, has been available since late February.
Always an innovator, Bob Gibson invented the idea of the artist-owned, independent record company. In 1975, he released Funky In The Country on his Legend Enterprises label and brought the records directly to his fans at shows. At the time, it was a radical concept. Recorded live at Amazingrace, a coffeehouse near Chicago, the album showcases Gibson’s signature bass lines on his ringing 12-string guitar. Billboard said „One of the finest singers in American folk history returns to the recording scene with a fine live set. Gibson’s vocals sound as strong as ever.“
It has been said that Gibson & Camp at the Gate of Horn [Elektra, 1961] was the first gold album in the folk genre. Seventeen years later, Gibson & (Hamilton) Camp reunited to record Homemade Music at the home of veteran musician and session-player, Dick Rosmini. Nowadays everybody makes records at home but in 1978, it was a cutting edge concept. Billboard said, „Excellent pairing of two country/folk singers who have collected songs from Shel Silverstein, Steve Goodman, themselves and others that sparkle with droll wit and insight.“ Cashbox said, „Rarely does an album emerge with such intrinsic warmth and charm.An excellent effort.“
The two remaining CDs that complete Living Legend Years collection are scheduled for availability later in the Spring: Perfect High on May 14 and Uptown Saturday Night on June 11. They are available for pre-order. All of the albums have been digitally re-mastered.
