IN ALL HONESTY
THE STONEMANS
- Ref. MC6241
- OMNI RECORDING CORP., 2007. Enregistrement 1970.
"With a recorded legacy that predates the Carter Family and a uniqueness that is still unequalled, The Stonemans are both a curiosity and a phenomenon. Ernest V. "Pop" Stoneman appeared out of obscurity in 1924 to release "The Sinking of the Titanic" a disc (78rpm) reputed to have sold over a million copies at the time and certainly the most popular "Hillbilly" record of its era. With a prosperous recording and live performance career throughout the late 1920s "Pop" was to see it all wiped out by The Great Depression and spent the next decades in dire poverty. In the 1960s "Pop" joined with five of his twenty-three (?!?) children to form The Stonemans and they had notable success together until "Pop's" death in 1968. 1969-1970 saw the Stoneman offspring re-group after their great loss and record three fine but much overlooked albums for RCA Victor. Was it Bluegrass, or was it Country Pop or was it Hippie Folk-Rock? Who cares? What matters most is that it was great, great music! From the melancholy ode to mortality "According To the Plan", to the rollicking race to the gallows "Turner's Turnpike", to the exuberant "Let's Get Together" and numerous other highlights, The Stonemans were never dull and often a gas man!! With exclusive liner notes, rare photos and recollections from surviving family members, all tracks are lovingly remastered from the original RCA Victor tapes and appear here for the first time on CD!"
