Beide Songs wurden von Alvis&#8216; Frau Geraldine geschrieben, der Bassistin der Familienband. Zusammen mit Sohn Sandy an Gitarre und Fiddle, Tochter Linda am Klavier und der j\u00fcngsten Tochter Carolyn (Gesang und Perkussion) z\u00e4hlten die sechs Mitglieder der Coker Family in den F\u00fcnfzigerjahren zu den popul\u00e4ren Vertretern einer von Rockabilly durchdrungenen Country-Szene an der Westk\u00fcste. Alvadean und Sandy traten regelm\u00e4\u00dfig bei der einflu\u00dfreichen &#8218;Town Hall Party&#8216; auf. Die Cokers nahmen in verschiedenen Zusammensetzungen insgesamt drei\u00dfig Songs f\u00fcr Abbott in Los Angeles und Decca in Nashville auf.<br \/>\nMit ihrer musikalischen Bandbreite von Hillbilly bis Rockabilly und fr\u00fchem Pop-Country liefern die Cokers die faszinierende Momentaufnahme einer von schnellen Ver\u00e4nderungen in der Welt popul\u00e4rer Musik gepr\u00e4gten Epoche. Diese Zusammenstellung fasst erstmals s\u00e4mtliche Studioaufnahmen der Coker Family zusammen, zu denen auch die aufgedrehten Projekte mit\u00a0<b>Jim Reeves, Floyd Cramer, Hank Garland<\/b>\u00a0und anderen Koryph\u00e4en der Country Music geh\u00f6ren. Mehr als 25 Songs werden erstmals auf CD Album ver\u00f6ffentlicht, von denen wiederum acht Songs \u00fcberhaupt noch nicht erh\u00e4ltlich waren. Als Bonus haben wir eine alternative Version von Alvadeans Rockabilly-Klassiker\u00a0<i>We&#8217;re Gonna Bop!\u00a0<\/i>hinzugepackt.<br \/>\nAuch nach ann\u00e4hernd sechs Jahrzehnten wohnt den Aufnahmen der Coker Family jene Energie und Lebendigkeit inne, die sie f\u00fcr das Publikum Mitte der 50er Jahre so attraktiv machte. Scott B. Bomar schrieb die ausf\u00fchrlichen Linernotes; die gew\u00e4hren anhand einiger aktueller Interviews mit den Cokers Einblicke in die Lebensl\u00e4ufe der Familienmitglieder.<br \/>\nDie liebevoll zusammenstellte Edition enth\u00e4lt eine F\u00fclle von zuvor nicht gezeigten Fotos aus den Privatarchiven der Cokers: eine Fundgrube vergessener Schmuckst\u00fccke, die nur darauf wartet, von Fans von Rockabilly und Country der F\u00fcnfzigerjahre wiederentdeckt zu werden!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>1-CD DigiPac (4-plated) with 76-page booklet, 32 tracks.

Both songs were written by Alvis&#8216; wife, Geraldine, who played bass in the family band. With son Sandy on guitar and fiddle, daughter Linda on piano, and youngest daughter Carolyn on vocals and percussion, the six members of the Coker Family were a popular staple of the rockabilly-infused West Coast country scene of the mid-1950s. Alvadean and Sandy were regular performers on the influential &#8218;Town Hall Party,&#8216; and the Cokers \u2013 in various incarnations \u2013 recorded a total of 30 songs for both the Abbott label in Los Angeles and the Decca label in Nashville.<br \/>\nRanging from hillbilly, to rockabilly, to early pop-country, the Coker recordings are a fascinating snapshot of an era of rapid changes in the world of popular music. Their revved-up collaborations with\u00a0<b>Jim Reeves, Floyd Cramer, Hank Garland<\/b>\u00a0and other legendary luminaries of country music are included in this collection, which gathers the family&#8217;s complete studio output for the first time. You&#8217;ll hear more than 25 songs that have never been released on CD. Of these, eight have not previously been released to the public on any format! As a bonus, you&#8217;ll hear an alternate take of Alvadean&#8217;s rockabilly classic,\u00a0<i>We\u2019re Gonna Bop<\/i>!<br \/>\nNearly six decades later, the Coker Family&#8217;s recordings still retain the energy and vibrancy that made them so appealing to live audiences in the mid-1950s. With detailed liner notes by Scott B. Bomar, in-depth biographical details about the Cokers based on several all-new interviews with the family, and a plethora of unseen photos from the Cokers&#8216; personal archives, this lovingly curated collection is a treasure trove of forgotten gems just waiting to be rediscovered by fans of 1950s rockabilly and country!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[youtube]http:\/\/youtu.be\/OuuP6CprvRg[\/youtube] https:\/\/www.bear-family.de\/cokers-we-re-gonna-bop-the-complete-recordings-on-abbott-and-decca-1954-1957.html &nbsp; 1-CD DigiPac Album (4-seitig) mit 76-seitigem Booklet, 32 Einzeltitel.
