Synopsis

Album Description

Leader of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and Frank Sinatra's conductor of choice during the classic Capitol years, Felix Slatkin is an orchestral giant on a par with Les Baxter, Ray Conniff and Percy Faith, but his extensive catalog remains virtually unavailable on CD. So, "in concert" with the folks who run his website, we have cherry-picked one of his finest records, 1962's 'Hoedown' on the Liberty label, and included not just the original album but also the *unreleased acoustic demos* featuring old-time fiddler Gordon Terry that Slatkin listened to when fashioning his orchestrations for these timeless mountain tunes. So, whether you like your country orchestrated or old-fashioned, you'll be dosie-do-in' till the cows come home with this one. A Collectors' Choice Music Exclusive with original art and new notes!

CD Reviews

Flash Back to the 60s

H. B. Facer | Australia | 10/09/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Remember the vinyl version of this ablum from the 1960's. Well sort of: I knew it was Felix & recently noticed it on the back of another Slatkin album. So hopped onto Amazon & there it was. An absolute blast, for a somewhat pop label the Liberty Boys did a great job with Felix's material. Like having a time machine in my6 CD player. Spreadjoy, and you sure did. Hank"
