Early Rebel Recordings: 1962-1971 (1998)

Country Gentlemen

This 110-song collection on 4 CDs provides a lot more than just an affirmation of the Country Gentlemen's influence: it also provides a ton of good music and a chance to study the early careers of Charlie Waller, John Duffey, Eddie Adcock, Tom Gray, Bill Emerson, Doyle Lawson, Jimmy Gaudreau and others. Gary Reid’s extensive notes on the sessions show the traditional and contemporary influences at work that resulted in many classic performances. The set covers about 8 albums worth of material, from their first long play, Bringing Mary Home through their classic Award-Winning Country Gentlemen LP in 1971. There’s an almost endless list of memorable songs, like “Matterhorn,” “Two Little Boys,” “Girl from the North Country,” “Redwood Hill,” “Fox on the Run,” “New Freedom Bell,” “Little Bessie,” and many more.
