Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Sixteen Tons is the true story of Country Music Hall of Fame member Merle Travis, a brilliant, multi-talented and deeply troubled artist who is widely considered a genius. A world-class guitarist who dazzled audiences with his Kentucky thumb-picking style that came to be known as Travis-picking, Merle was also a pioneering country songwriter who wrote such classics as Divorce Me C.O.D., So Round, So Firm, So Fully Packed, Dark as a Dungeon, and Sixteen Tons. Additionally, he was responsible for early electric guitar innovations in the 1940s, and was a gifted actor, writer, and cartoonist, among many other talents. This definitive portrait of Travis's life and career is the result of a recently-discovered treasure trove of Merle's unpublished autobiographical writings, which have been fleshed out with an immersive deep-dive biography by researcher and musical historian Deke Dickerson. Sixteen Tons details the highs of a career that began with a string of nine straight Top 5 singles in the 1940s, and the lows of a lifelong struggle with alcoholism that developed into an addiction to pills that nearly killed Merle when he was running with Johnny Cash in the late 1950s. Travis ultimately reemerged to become a Grammy-winning artist who inspired millions with his creative stage presence and unparalleled guitar recordings. A unique hybrid of posthumous memoir and unflinching biographical study, Sixteen Tons is the long overdue final word on the life and career of an inimitably talented American music legend.…

CAP 11554/X und CAP 11553/X. Der amerikanische Countrymusiker, Songwriter und Schauspieler (1917-1983) übernahm die vornemlich in der schwarzen Blues- und Ragtimemusik verbreitete Gitarrentechnik des Fingerpicking und brachte sie, später als Travis-Picking bekannt, in die Countrymusic ein. Seine ersten Platten erschienen in den späten 1930er-Jahren, richtig bekannt wurde er aber erst nach seinem Militärdienst, als er 1946 für Capitol mehrere erfolgreiche Singles aufnahm und gleichzeitig kleine Filmrollen erhielt. Er war das große Vorbild des Gitarristen Chet Atkins und einer der ersten Country-Musiker, die eine Elektrogitarre einsetzten. 1953 spielte er eine kleine Rolle in oben genanntem Film und sang den vorliegenden Titel.
