Description
***** AllMusic Review by Jimmy James Hester's rare late-'50s debut album is a sedate, if quite prettily sung, traditional folk record. Even more so than Hester's self-titled early-'60s album for Tradition, this has a reverent recital quality in the John Jacob Niles school that, while admirable in its purity, is also kind of sterile. (Niles is in fact credited with three of the adaptations here, including the famous "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair.") Whether or not Joan Baez was influenced by this specific record, Hester's high voice and pristine execution certainly foreshadow the kind of recordings made by several high-voiced woman folksingers (Baez, Judy Collins, and others) in the early-'60s folk revival. There's also a much fainter foreshadowing of folk-rock in the presence of Jerry Allison, drummer for Buddy Holly & the Crickets, who plays brushes on a cardboard box on "The Wreck of the Old Ninety-Seven." Too, Holly producer Norman Petty nabs the co-credit for the adaptation of "Hush-A-Bye."***** A1 Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair) Guitar – Buddy Holly A2 I Know Where I'm Goin' A3 The Texan Boys A4 Danny Boy A5 Ye Banks And Braes A6 The Wreck Of The Old Ninety-Seven Guitar – Buddy HollyPercussion – Jerry Allison B1 Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair B2 The Riddle Song (I Gave My Love A Cherry) B3 Lolly Too Dum B4 Little Willie B5 Hush-A-Bye B6 I Wonder As I Wander ***** This is the first stage of selling my personal collection of 15,000 LPs 10,000 45's and 2,000 78s Genres will include Jazz, Rock, R&B, Doo-Wop, Folk, Blues, Classical, Country, Soundtracks, Comedy, Pop and Picture Discs collected over the last 55 years while also working for many Major and Indi Record Companies.
