Instead, it contained twelve early-mid 1950s Mercury recordings. But we have the truly fantastic Johnny Horton. Sixteen of his very best recordings from his years with Columbia Records. Here was the electricity, vibrancy, and presence that had barely been hinted at on Horton's earlier recordings. He worked with a very aggressive, prominently mixed rhythm section that included a string bass (Bill Black, sometimes!), a rhythm guitar, and Grady Martin on lead guitar. Martin played outrageous single string solos and fills. His slurs, chokes and bent notes, helped to create the vocabulary of rock'n'roll guitar right here. These are Johnny Horton's rock'inest recordings . and they were made to be heard on vinyl. The highlights are too many. Every song is a classic. Just ask any of the artists, including Dwight Yoakam and George Jones, who have revived these songs!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Track Listing:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sal's Got A Sugarlip\u003cbr\u003eHonky Tonk Hardwood Floor\u003cbr\u003eHonky Tonk Man\u003cbr\u003eI'm Coming Home\u003cbr\u003eHonky Tonk Mind\u003cbr\u003eTell My Baby I Love Her\u003cbr\u003eThe First Train Headin' South\u003cbr\u003eLover's Rock\u003cbr\u003eThe Electrified Donkey\u003cbr\u003eAll Grown Up\u003cbr\u003eSugar Coated Baby\u003cbr\u003eLet's Take The Long Way Home\u003cbr\u003eOle Slew Foot\u003cbr\u003eSleepy Eyed John\u003cbr\u003eThe Wild One\u003cbr\u003eI'm Ready If You're Willing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56440300798326,"sku":"4000127180087","price":27.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_512211_0_243b27c8-5451-40d4-a9ac-956b7a9dd63f.jpg?v=1760384197","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/4000127180087-fantastic-johnny-horton","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
