Description
Propelled by his 1956 Lee Hazlewood-produced hit The Fool, Sanford Clark was already a rockabilly legend in his own right by the time he swapped his hair gel and switchblade for a pair of cowboy boots on They Call Me Country. Recorded between 1965-67 and originally released as a series of singles for Phoenixs Ramco label, the 12 tracks on this LP borrow Bakersfields outlaw sound and ignore Nashvilles countrypolitan flair, standing as a true lost masterpiece of country musics third generation. Clarks booming baritone tells tales of bar fights, heartaches, and drinking til you cant stand, while Waylon Jennings provides a backdrop of fuzzed out guitar twang. Mastered from the original session tapes and back on vinyl for the first time since the Nixon administration.
