"THE STANLEY BROTHERS	Starday 7000	The Early Starday King Years 1958-1961
4 CD's, 109 tracks, 4 hrs., 33 min., essential. This is the one we Stanley Brothers fans have been waiting for. Although the Stanleys had been recording for twelve years and had recorded many classic sides for Columbia and Mercury by 1958, many feel that the recordings for King and Starday represent their finest work. There is no denying the wealth of great performances, including the eerie Rank Strangers and such bluegrass standards as Love Me Darling/ Just Tonight/ How Mountain Girls Can Love/ Clinch Mountain Backstep/ Another Night/ The Memory Of Your Smile and many others. The quality of the material remains high throughout the period, with the Starday sessions remaining more faithful to the traditional set-up of guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and bass. King Records boss Syd Nathan hated bluegrass fiddle; at his insistence the two guitar sound, often featuring the fancy crosspicking of Bill Napier and then George Shuffler, became more prominent. Napier's hot, punchy mandolin is also featured on the sides for Starday and the early King sessions, along with the great Chubby Anthony on fiddle. The inimitable elements of the classic Stanley Bros. sound abound on this collection, from the sorrowful lead vocals and wonderful original songs of brother Carter to the bright banjo and quavering, intense singing of brother Ralph, whose voice epitomizes their timeless quality. Box includes a well researched, informative 20-page booklet and discography by Gary Reid, and the sound is fine, certainly better than on the myriad reissue LPs of the last few years".

San Antonio Rose, Bear Family; 4 stars $248; 11 CDs, one *DVD
By Larry Nager    The Cincinnati Enquirer

        The criticisms of Ken Burns' Jazz have focused on artists the PBS documentary left out (e.g., Nat ""King'' Cole). But the urban-centric Jazz also missed the many jazz offshoots sprouting between the coasts.

        Perhaps the most glaring omission was Western Swing, a jazz-based style blending everything from blues to cowboy music to polkas to Mexican ballads to Hawaiian guitars played by some of American music's greatest improvisers.

        There were many great Western Swing bands, notably Milton Brown's Musical Brownies and Spade Cooley's orchestra. But none could touch Bob Wills for sheer longevity and breadth of vision.

        The recordings on this new box set from the German Bear Family label span 1932-1947, from Mr. Wills' start as the fiddler in a duo with Milton Brown to the end of the Texas Playboys' reign as the top WS band.

        This is an exhaustive, long-overdue collection. All the great Wills songs are here, from the title track to Leon McAuliffe's showpiece “Steel Guitar Rag” to “Roly Poly” and dozens of other standards the group created.

        The box contains plenty of rarities for even the hardest-core Wills fan, including two discs of alternate takes making their CD debut.

        The featured singer for most of the 260-plus tracks is Tommy Duncan, whose warm baritone recalls his fellow Texan Jack Teagarden. Soloists include the innovative guitarist Junior Barnard, who was using distortion at a time when most guitarists were just discovering electricity.

        Along with Mr. McAuliffe, the Playboys included steel masters Noel Boggs and Herb Remington. Bebop-inspired electric mandolinist Tiny Moore is featured on the later tracks.

    *    A DVD of the film Take Me Back to Oklahoma is included, and the lavish set is completed by a hardcover coffee table book packed with rare photos, discographical information and Rich Kienzle's insightful history of the band.
 Released in December, San Antonio Rose sets a new standard for historical boxes. And it swings like crazy.

12 CD's plus full-length biography by C.Wolf and all known photographs, $248!
