Vernon Dalhart - 1920’s Country Songs & Ballads Singer 3 (Rec 1928 - 1930) CD

Description: All recordings are from the original source material and digitally re-mastered to reduce surface noise. Biography Vernon Dalhart was born Marion Try Slaughter on April 6th 1883 in Jefferson, Texas. Dalhart spent his early life on a ranch. In 1902, seeking a career in music, he went to New York. He took the name of Vernon Dalhart by combining the names of two Texas towns. He sang with the Century Opera Company and, in 1913-14, he performed in HMS Pinafore at the Hippodrome. Dalhart made numerous records under different names with different singing styles. In 1924 Victor Records were about to dispense with his services when he asked if he could record hillbilly music. He chose "Wreck Of The Old '97", which had first been recorded by Henry Whitter. It was backed by "Prisoner's Song", which he said was written by his cousin, Guy Massey. It became country music's first million-seller, eventually exceeding six million. True to character, Dalhart also recorded the song under pseudonyms for many different labels. "Wreck Of The Old '97" was based on fact and so Dalhart consolidated his success with several topical songs written by, and performed with, Carson Jay Robison. They included "The Death Of Floyd Collins" and "The John T. Scopes Trial". He recorded many country songs though the early 1930's. However, the depression put an end to his recording career. He attempted a comeback in 1939 but, despite his versatility, he could not satisfy the public. He stopped performing, although he did give singing lessons and worked as a night clerk at a hotel in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Vernon died following a heart attack on September 14th 1948 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was elected to the Country Music Hall Of Fame in 1981. This CD includes his 3rd group of country recordings made between 1928 to 1930. There were recorded during the peak and popularity in early country music. His personality comes through well on the recordings. Several were based on actual events during this period.
