专辑介绍

by Greg Adams

Thereby Hangs a Tale is devoted to songs that tell a story, from Eddy Arnold's hit version of Jimmie Driftwood's &Tennessee Stud& to older songs like &Riders in the Sky& and &The Wreck of the Old '97.& Johnny Horton's &The Battle of New Orleans& was a phenomenal hit in 1959, and its influence is felt on the historical songs Arnold tackles, from &The Battle of Little Big Horn& to &Boot Hill,& the latter of which was released unsuccessfully on a single. Arnold's performances are far more subdued than Horton's and lack the martial snare drum beats, giving Thereby Hangs a Tale a folk flavor. A version of &Tom Dooley& reinforces the folksy tone, as does &The Red Headed Stranger,& a contemporary song that Willie Nelson later revived. Arnold's thematic albums are often his most interesting, and Thereby Hangs a Tale is no exception.
