Travis Womack had a Ronnie Dawson sound and Bill Rice sounds a lot like Jimmy Reed on "It's all You Fault"
A one hit (Tragedy) label that tried a variety of sounds.. I felt Buddy Holly and Elvis could have made some of these songs big hits. To me. Travis Womack had a Ronnie Dawson sound and Bill Rice sounds a lot like Jimmy Reed on "It's all You Fault". It was fun to hear the original versions of "This Time" and "Girl Next Door". I also like the Bill Black sound version of "Mack The Knife".

There was about a third of it that was good, and I figure we get both sides of records by thebetter artists.

it sounds like somebody held a microphone up to an old record ...
I dig everything on this compilation, except on disc 2 track 13, it sounds like somebody held a microphone up to an old record player with a bad needle and copied it. everything is cool !..Does anybody else have the same experience?

It sounds like that because these tapes have been reproduced they are not the legal owners of the master tapes and are copying records.

A trip back in time to Memphis, Tennessee!!!!
The charm continues for these ONE DAY legendary record label compilations. This time it takes you to Scotty Moore's project way down deep into the Memphis musical texture of the Rock n' Roll Era. Fernwood did not produce many commercial hit records in its day, but as shown here, it was a launchpad of good things to come in the '60s decade. The highest rank song to hit the Billboard charts was "Tragedy" in '59 by Thomas Wayne (with the Delons) - later covered by the Fleetwoods. Wayne as well sang the original "This Time" - later covered by Troy Shondell in '61. Both are featured here.The compilation starts off with a superb instrumental "Big Shot" by Johnny Cannon and up ahead on disc 1 there's another fine instrumental called "Like Spellbound" by the Tarantulas. There are many rockabilly tracks throughout the two CDs, but Fernwood did cut some early R&B vocal groups; check out the two Lyrics' tracks and Barbara Perry "Bobby Is A Bad Bad Boy."Don't be looking for anything commercial because it's not intended to be. It is another compilation for your music library.

I love the variation in these label tributes.
Enjoyable mixture of 50s-early 60s music, but in my opinion no unknown classics. I don't know if these tracks are selected by "One Day" as the best of Fernwoods catalogue or if that label didn't issue many records - i.e. of the 40 tracks on this compilation, there are 6 by Thomas Wayne. Good as he is/was, I am surprised there were no other artistes who came up with tracks worth a wider audience .Nevertheless, there are some good numbers here, especially instrumentals (Tarantulas, Scotty Moore, Psychos etc.), & these cds are a welcome addition to my collection. However, I assume the Dewey Phillips who appears here is the legendary DJ -if so, I now know why he was a DJ and not a singer!
