Customer Reviews:

A fine selection from one of Nashville's great also-rans.......2004-02-14

A strong selection of Louisiana country hero Jimmy "C" Newman's hits from the late '50s and '60s, many laced with Cajun-style fiddles and a long Louisiana drawl. Newman worked in obscurity for about a decade before his breakthrough in the mid-1950s; his early hits were musically strong and fairly rough hewn; it's pretty remarkable, though -- and something of a testimony to the former power of regional fan bases -- that a guy with such a pronounced lisp could have done so well on the charts. On his mid-50s singles for the Dot label, Newman's slurred "s" and "st" almost constantly; although by the time he signed to Decca in '61, he'd smoothed his impediment out, along with some of the rougher, more honkytonk edges in his music. This is a pretty nice collection of a well-known Nashville second-stringer; Newman never topped the charts, but he snuck into the Top Ten consistently throughout his career.

The only downside of this disc is that none of his material on MGM (from 1958-60) is included, so there's an unfortunate gap of a few years... (Did he have a lisp then, too... or not??) Overall, though, this is a good collection for fans of hard country as well as the rootsier side of the Nashville Sound.

1960's Decca Recordings.......2003-08-16

A member of the Grand Ole Opry for well over 40 years. Jimmy C Newman has had a long string of hits. This collection features the many hits Jimmy had with Decca records. "DJ for a Day" from 1963 was a song by a then unknown by the name of Tom T. Hall. This is the best single collection you will find on Jimmy C. Newman. The "C" stands for cajun. Good Collection!!!

Jimmy C. Newman: Zydeco Begins.......1998-06-19

Before "zydeco" there was Jimmy C. Newman. Those who enjoy Cajun sounds, real Cajun accordians and the rich mix of Cajun language and culture should know it began with Jimmy C. Newman. This album is a classic mix of Newman's mix: English, Cajun, country and western, and the toe-tapping beginnings of what became Zydeco. Newman's enchantingly slow "Basile Waltz" and the peppy sounds of "Diggy Liggy Li" make this album worth the price. Toss in the chance to hear the roots of Zydeco, and you have a double bargain.
