JOHNNY HORTON - I'M READY IF YOU'RE WILLING

[standelman95]

Ahhhhh Grady Martin !!! Thanks Bo //Hawkins

I love the video of seeing the old time stereo. That brought back some nice memories. Digital is okay because it lets us get what tracks we like rather than getting a CD for only a few songs but there was something about that analog sound and the scratchity scratchity of the old hi-fi's. Thanks for posting this! We lost Johnny too damn soon!

I love this version of this song. The only one I knew existed was the one that was real upbeat but I kinda prefer this one better.

Hey LynchburgSourMash, I heard someone say that Grady Martin was on the guitar in this song. I thought it was Tommy Tomlinson. I uploaded my rendition of this song, check it out and tell me what you think.

Hello Lynchburg SourMash, You know a lot about this old music. Johnny Horton is one of my favorites. I heard a song by Johnny called Gone With The Wind This Morning, I think it was from one of the Hayride Shows. Do you know any details about it? Thanks for the stories.

[LynchburgSourMash]

Hi chrshammer,you're right,the tune you mention is from one of Mr. Horton's Hayride appearences.Listening to it now here at home.Pretty too low input at that rec,and caused by maybe bad placement of mics.I'm usually very tolerant with poor sound quality in rec, but i think just this one here was in the basement nearly.But it's absolutely fantastic that these live recs are issued and given to the world,so everyone can enjoy our early supergreat performers Thanks

By the way the legendary "Hut" is currently being restored to it's late 1950s condition. It is scheduled to be part of ther Nashville tour circuit like RCAs famed Studio B located a few blocks away.

[LynchburgSourMash]

Fantastic, under renovation. I saw Sonny Curtis showing the way to it at music row area when the documentary movie The Real Buddy Holly Story were issued. Sonny Curtis passes by in his car and telling stories about their rockabilly recordings from 1956 at Bradley's original Quonset Hut studio. Personally i used that movie to find it in 1999 when i was there and searched for it. It was great for my musicsoul to just be there and watch it from outside.

This recording was not made at Bradley's Barn but rather at Bradley's original Quonset Hut studio. The famous "Barn" - located on a farm outside of Nashville - did not come about until the 1960s after Owen sold his Quonset Hut down along Music Row to CBS/Columbia.

[LynchburgSourMash]

He has another version that is more up tempo and more back up vocals. It sound much better.

[mtedora]

GROSSLY under-rated talent! for SURE.

[Nuroj]

A few days ago I only knew Battle of New Orleans, North to Alaska, and Springtime in Alaska form Johnny Horton - What I hav elost out on!! Wonder if it's possible to get hold of a CD collection with his songs.. LET me know, anyone! :)

[MerrittStDiner]

There's a double CD you should pick up: "Honky Tonk Man: The Essential Johnny Horton 1956-1960." It contains 36 songs - the big ones like you've named and some other great tunes that are unknown even to many Johnny Horton fans.

[MerrittStDiner]

I hope you've checked out the Johnny Horton videos xgavj6 and bmcneese45a have posted on You Tube.

[Nuroj]

THANK YOU very much! :) I'll will get the double CD and check out the videos you mention.
