The Man
Steel Drivin’! Rock Splittin’! Tales drenched with fuzz and pathos!! First Time On CD!!!
Anvils smash, whips crack and husky voices wail across the lonesome prairie...
or to be more precise, RCA Victor’s Studio A, Hollywood, California.
Here are the virile, invigorating Hollywood Western tales of screen icon Lorne
Greene. Recorded in the mid-1960s, at the height of his Bonanza fame, you’ll hear a
brew of tradition, lounge-pop affectation and spaghetti western mania. Witness the
tense fuzz-tone of Pop Goes The Hammer, the chilling conclusion of The Search or the
haunting, philosophical I’m A Gun.
Bold arrangements by Joe Reisman and Anita Kerr, great songcraft and vigourous
performances combine to produce this compelling program of thoughtful masculinity.
Remastered from the original RCA Victor master tapes with rare photos, a candid
interview with Lorne himself and original liner notes this deluxe collector’s
edition presents his finest LP with a generous clutch of extra tracks including the
number one smash hit Ringo.
So saddle up, and raise a gallop for the mythical west!
