Album Details

Carl Butler and his Wife, Pearl, were Forever Immortalized by their Hit Don't Let Me Cross Over. It Remains One of the Alltime Classics of Hard Country. But it was Merely the Highlight of a Recording Career that Began in 1950 and Ended Just Months Before his Death in 1992. Butler was a Hard Luck Journeyman Country Musician who Played "live" Music on Small Radio Stations in the 1940s and 1950s and Toured Ceaselessly. Neglected Toward the End of his Life, He Lost his Farm and his Savings, and Died Alone in a Trailer Park. His Wife, Pearl, who Had Toured with Him for Forty Years, Had Died Three Years Earlier. This CD features all of Carl's Early Recordings for Two American Labels, Capitol and Okeh. Incredibly, Only Two of These Recordings were Reissued on LP and None of them have Appeared on CD Before Now.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Early Carl Butler.......2006-06-02

This is an early (the earliest) collection of Carl Butler recordings that you will not find anywhere else. These numbers showcase the developing voice of a forgotten legend; the Carl Butler voice you hear here sounds a lot like Jimmie Rodgers combined with the smoothness of Carl Smith...a unique sound. Most of these songs are no frills country music, combining traditional bluegrass influences with 50's honky-tonk; so you know it's good. Since this is a Bear Family release, there is the usual large booklet detailing Carl's life and discography of this time period. A good album.
