Als der Honky-Tonk-S\u00e4nger aus Osttexas aus dem Blickfeld geriet, begann zeitgleich der kometenhafte Aufstieg seines Freundes, Labelkollegens und gelegentlichen Duett-Partners George Jones.<br \/>\n&#8218;Devil\u2019s Disciple&#8216; setzt dort an, wo &#8218;Too Hot To Handle\u2019, die erste Bear Family-Zusammenstellung mit seinen Starday-Aufnahmen der Jahre 1953-1956, aufh\u00f6rt und untersucht\u00a0<b>Sonny Burns<\/b>\u00a0Karriere von 1959 bis gegen Ende der 60er Jahre. Die Geschichte von Burns erstem Flirt mit dem Ruhm und seinem teils selbst verschuldeten Fall ist jener Stoff, aus dem Legenden der Country Music entstehen; nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil seine Geschichte so eng mit dem Aufstieg von George Jones verbunden ist, dem am meisten verehrten Countrys\u00e4nger nach Hank Williams. So wie die Geschichte von Sonny oftmals erz\u00e4hlt wird, kann der Eindruck entstehen, er sei irgendwie schlecht behandelt worden. Als h\u00e4tte es ebenso gut passieren k\u00f6nnen, dass er an Stelle von Jones die Ruhmesleiter empor h\u00e4tte klettern k\u00f6nnen. Auch wenn es weniger an schlechter Behandlung und vielmehr an schlechtem Timing und Engagement lag, dies \u00e4ndert nichts an der Tatsache, dass Sonny Burns einer der talentiertesten und bemerkenswertesten Musiker seiner Zeit war. Der von uns hier skizzierte zweite Karriereversuch hinterlie\u00df einige gro\u00dfartige Aufnahmen.<br \/>\nDie Geschichte von &#8218;Devil\u2019s Disciple&#8216; beginnt 1959, drei Jahre nach der letzten Starday-Session von Burns. Nach eigener Einsch\u00e4tzung hatte\u00a0<b>Sonny Burns<\/b>\u00a0den absoluten Tiefpunkt erreicht. Doch Sonny k\u00e4mpfte sich mit einer Single f\u00fcr das in San Antonio ans\u00e4ssige unabh\u00e4ngige TNT-Label zur\u00fcck in die Szene.<br \/>\nDiese Zusammenstellung verfolgt sein Comeback durch die Jahre 1961 bis 1963, in denen er bei United Artists unter Vertrag stand, bis zu seiner letzten Session f\u00fcr MGM im Jahre 1968, die damals nicht ver\u00f6ffentlicht wurde und nun erstmals das Licht der Welt erblickt.<br \/>\nDabei sind Klassiker wie\u00a0<i>Blue House Painted White<\/i>\u00a0und Burns&#8216; Sprachfassung von Johnny Bushs\u00a0<i>Devil&#8217;s Disciple<\/i>, dem Titelsong. Zu den bislang unver\u00f6ffentlichten MGM-Mastern aus dem Jahre 1968 geh\u00f6ren zwei gro\u00dfartige Fassungen von Songs, die von dem nur schwer fassbaren Country-Songster Jim Fagan aus dem Osten des Staates Tennesse geschrieben wurden,\u00a0<i>I Sat Down On A Bear Trap\u00a0<\/i>und<i>\u00a0I Left One On The Bar.<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 28-page booklet, 21 tracks. Total playing time approx. 56 minutes.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Texas honky-tonk singer Sonny Burns&#8216; Second Coming from the 1960s.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Exploring Sonny&#8217;s career with great recordings from 1959 to the late 1960s.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Presenting his TNT, United Artists, and MGM masters.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Including previously unissued masters.<br \/>\nAnyone reading about the implosion of\u00a0<b>Sonny Burns<\/b>&#8218; career in the mid-50s &#8212; when the East Texas honky-tonk singer sank from sight while his friend, label mate and sometime duet partner George Jones rocketed to stardom &#8212; might be surprised to find out that there was a Second Coming in the 1960s. &#8218;Devil\u2019s Disciple&#8216; picks up where Bear Family\u2019s first collection devoted to Sonny Burns, &#8218;Too Hot To Handle,&#8216; which covered his Starday years of 1953-56, left off, exploring Sonny&#8217;s recording career from 1959 to the end of the 1960s. The story of Burns&#8216; first flirtation with fame, and his at least partly self-induced fall, is the stuff of country music legend because it has been so closely linked with the rise of Jones, the most revered country singer of the post-Hank Williams years. There is an implication in the way Burns&#8216; story is usually told that the singer somehow got a raw deal, that it might easily have been he who shot to stardom and not Jones. That it was less a raw deal than a matter of timing and commitment doesn&#8217;t change the fact that Sonny Burns was one of the most talented and memorable artists of the era. And his second stab at stardom chronicled here resulted in some great recordings.<br \/>\n&#8218;Devil\u2019s Disciple&#8216; begins in 1959, three years after Sonny&#8217;s last Starday session, when, having in his own assessment hit rock bottom, Burns began to claw his way back onto the scene with a single for the San Antonio-based independent label TNT. Following from that record, this collections traces Burns&#8216; comeback through his 1961-63 recordings for United Artists and his final 1968 session for MGM, which was left unreleased at the time and finally sees the light of day here. Included are classic tracks like\u00a0<i>Blue House Painted White<\/i>\u00a0and Burns&#8216; telling recording of the title track, Johnny Bush&#8217;s\u00a0<i>Devil&#8217;s Disciple<\/i>. Among the unissued MGM tracks from 1968 are two great Burns performances of songs written by the elusive East Tennessee country songster Jim Fagan,\u00a0<i>I Sat Down On A Bear Trap\u00a0<\/i>and<i>\u00a0I Left One On The Bar.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[youtube]http:\/\/youtu.be\/UuYf6RivaME?list=UUbJiE_JiVm7F_sXtO6x5PTw[\/youtube] https:\/\/www.bear-family.de\/burns-sonny-the-devil-s-disciple.html &nbsp; 1-CD DigiPac Album (4-seitig) mit 28-seitigem Booklet, 21 Einzeltitel.
