Classic Trio Albums, 1964 and 1975, feat. Billy Strange and Glen Campbell

Tennessee Ernie Ford’s acoustic albums: simple clarity... natural depth. Tennessee Ernie Ford’s two trio albums: Country Hits...Feelin’ Blue (1964) and Ernie Sings & Glen Picks (1975) paired here by Bear Family Records for the first time in any format. An early template for the ‘unplugged’ album... decades before that recording technique became a trend in popular music. Featured musicians: guitarist extraordinaire Billy Strange and upright bassist John Moshe (1964), and country and pop crossover superstar/guitarist/harmony singer Glen Campbell and double bassist Chuck Domanico (1975). To many in the know these are the finest and rarest LP releases of secular music from the singer’s long career, with a voice that was well‐worn yet enduring. Extensive liner notes by East Tennessean, Dr. Ted Olson, Professor of Appalachian Studies at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City. The full‐color booklet contains previously unseen photos from the recording sessions and a session discography.
