I'm the Man: Starday Singles Anthology 1960 - 1971

Honky Tonks, Truckers And Tears, Ace's first volume of Red Sovine's classic Starday recordings, was something of a surprise best seller for us as a new release in 2005. It continues to sell well and has prompted customer inquiries as to when well be releasing a second volume. Here it is at last.

Those who only know Red for his posthumous UK #1 Teddy Bear will find that there's a lot more to him and his music once they sample I'm The Man.

Unlike its predecessor, which featured many of the classic recitations that gave Red some of his biggest hits, our second helping of Red Sovine offers nothing but hard-core country songs drawn from over a decade's worth of Starday singles.

As well as numerous fine songs exclusive to his catalogue, I'm The Man also features Red's excellent take on classics from the catalogues of George Jones, Roy Drusky, Charlie Rich, Moon Mullican, the Delmore Brothers, the York Brothers and Wayne Raney.

Most of these tracks have never been issued in the UK before now, and a good number of them are making their first appearance on CD anywhere in the world.

The customary extensive sleeve note, plus a wealth of vintage photos and label shots - plus some really great music, of course - will make I'm The Man an exciting prospect for any fan of vintage country music from its golden decade.
