DISCOGRAPHY

Regardless of my diatribe in the conclusion of this chapter, a significant amount of material by female rockabilly artists remains in print or is available on out-of-print vinyl that can be found with sufficient patience. To address them in alphabetical order: Charlene Arthur’s pitifully short career can be heard on the Bear Family LP Welcome to the Club, and her first side, ‘I’ve Got The Boogie Blues’, released by Nashville’s pioneering label Bullet Records, is on Volume 28 of the Dutch Collector Records’ Boppin’ Hillbilly series. Surprisingly, all the Collins Kids’ Columbia sides remain in print and a good deal of the audio portion of their Town Hall Party appearances to boot. The Bear Family two-CD set Hop, Skip and Jump includes the Columbia work, while a shorter Sony Special Products CD, Introducing Larry and Lorrie, picks out twelve songs. The television appearances can be located on two LPs: Country Routes’ The Collins Kids at Town Hall Party and the obscure TV Records’ Television Party. Wanda Jackson has also benefited from Bear Family’s completist proclivities. All her work on Capitol from 1954 to 1962 is contained on the four-CD box set Right or Wrong, while Rhino has an abridged eighteen-track compilation, Rockin’ in the Country. The 1984 Swedish recordings were released domestically on LP and cassette by Varrick Records, a division of Rounder Records, in 1986. Brenda Lee’s major recordings on Decca are contained in a two-CD set, Anthology 1956–1980 (MCA). Much of Rose Maddox’s extensive discography remains readily available. Arhoolie Records released two LPs of radio performances from 1940 and 1945, On the Air Vols 1 and 2, as well as a twenty-seven-track CD of selected 4 Star Records sides, America’s Most Colorful Hillbilly Band, 1946–51. They also pressed a CD of twenty-four early 1980s performances of acoustic bluegrass, Rose of the West Coast City. The Columbia sides of the late 1950s are on two Bear Family LPs, each featuring sixteen tracks and named after the group. They also market a four-CD package of all Rose’s solo work on Capital Records from 1959 to 1965, The One Rose. Janis Martin regrettably only pressed 26 sides for RCA from 1956–8, all included on Bear Family’s The Female Elvis: Complete Recordings, 1956–60. Certain of Barbara Pittman’s Sun sides can be found on various anthologies and the complete work on the Bear Family LP I Need A Man. The label run by Nashville’s Country Music Foundation released a long overdue selection of Jean Shepard’s work, Honky-Tonk Heroine: Classic Capitol Recordings.1952–64. Bear Family followed with a five-CD package, The Melody Ranch Girl, of Shepard’s complete works for Capitol from 1952 to 1964. The German Bronco Buster label compiled a set of twenty sides by Texas Ruby and Curly Fox, A Memorial Tribute, that includes material recorded for Columbia in addition to transcriptions of Grand Ole Opry programmes. Kitty Wells’s work, like much of Country music’s pioneers, remains in print but not as widely available as it should be. The MCA Country Music Hall
