Bonnie Guitar Early Years: The Singles & Albums Collection 19512 CD

Bonnie Guitar Early Years: The Singles & Albums Collection 1951-62 She made excellent records across the pop and country spectrum. Bonnie Guitar was an unusual personality in the world of pop music, in that she was not only that rare animal, a female country session guitarist, but was also a successful hit-making crossover country and pop singer, as well as being a producer and label-owner, launching Dolton Records, the label which released The Fleetwoods' No. 1 "Come Softly To Me". Hailing from Seattle in Washington state, far from the fashionable centres of the industry, she helped put the north-west on the map as a source of country music. This great-value 61-track 2-CD set comprises A & B sides from her releases on the Morrison, Rainier, Fabor, Dot, Radio, Dolton and RCA labels during this era, including early recordings as Bonnie Tutmarc, plus all the titles from her Dot album "Moonlight And Shadows" and selected titles from her gospel-flavoured album "Whispering Hope". It features all her hits from these years, including the pop Top 10 entry "Dark Moon", along with "Mr. Fire Eyes and "Candy Apple Red". She made excellent records across the pop and country spectrum, and this collection is a great showcase for her talents as both singer and guitarist.
