VA - Talking On The Telephone Vol 2 (2017)

Talking On The Telephone – Vol. 2: Hillbilly Music Renowned music expert RICHARD WEIZE presents a new series encompassing an extensive collection of songs celebrating two inventions that changed human life and civilization forever: The ability to transmit our speech over long distances and the ability to preserve that speech on recordings. And just as soon as people began to make recordings of their voices, they began to write and record songs about telephones. In the four volumes of this series, we look at the full range of telephone music (Hillbilly; Blues & Gospel; Rock & Roll and Pop).We examine over 60 years of recorded music, and could have gone on into the 21st century, where telephones (with their evolving features and apps) remain woven into the fabric of popular culture. More than ever before, a world without telephones is unimaginable to us.
