	Porter Wagoner : Y'All Come - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Porter Wagoner's 1963 recording of "Y'all Come" is an oddity in that producer Chet Atkins chose to give Wagoner, a hard country singer, an outright hillbilly song and then overlay it with a female vocal chorus that sounds like it's moonlighting from The Lawrence Welk Show.
		The album is full of that sort of schizophrenic production, with Wagoner's straight country sounds coated with a thick pop gloss in an apparent attempt to replicate the sound of Claude King's "Wolverton Mountain" on every track.
		A remake of Wagoner's early hit "Company's Comin'" with hyperactive electric guitar is pure filler, and "Come on In" is practically a reprise of "Y'all Come," but the album has a number of decent cuts even though purists won't appreciate Atkins' aggressively commercial production style.

		Wagoner's new album "Unplugged" tackles new terrain for a man who's tackled plenty of terrain.
		Wagoner also chose another golden oldie in "Girl in the Blue Velvet Band." Credited to the pens of Cliff Carlisle and Mel Foree, no one knows for certain who wrote the song.
		Given the stage of life that the 75-year-old Wagoner is now in, such lines as "we have almost reached the end, I can hear the final warning," appears as if he's measuring his final days.

		Wagoner's most striking attribute was the sheer joy evident in his singing and playing, whether he was doing a deeply religious number ("What Would You Do") or a loving tribute to Bill Monroe ("Uncle Pen").
		Disc three shows Wagoner working in a smoother, more sentimental and commercial country-pop-oriented vein, but as late as 1959, he was still doing wonderfully exuberant numbers.
		Disc four covers the early '60s, the period during which Wagoner continued to merge the stripped-down country of his roots and the smooth Nashville sound.

		Porter's career rode high in the '50s, '60s and early '70s, but faltered under the disco-era onslaught of countrypolitan crooning.
		Along with Porter Wagoner, Skeeter Davis had to be one of the biggest unreconstructed hicks running loose in Nashville at the time, so you'd think hearing the two of them together would be a thing of wonder.
		Porter's getting on in years, but still has a great voice, not nearly as creaky or fragile as any number of his contemporaries.

		A fixture of the Grand Ole Opry, singer and songwriter Porter Wagoner has one of the most distinguished careers in country music, from his early Top 10 hits in the '50s through his late-'60s and early-'70s duet sides with Dolly Parton.
		Their smooth, crossover accessibility cheats Wagoner of much of his power.
		But if you listen to Wagoner's originals, leaving yourself fully open to the craggy vocals and braying guitar lines of a Southern soul in torment, you realize this guy sings the way he must live, refusing to be pushed aside by hardship.

	Norma Jean Discography: Slipcue E-Zine
		She joined Porter Wagoner's troupe early in the decade, but was displaced in 1967 when she ended their long-running romantic affair and Porter glommed onto Dolly Parton as his new touring partner.
		Porter does 'em better, but she does 'em pretty good, too, playing up the cornball delivery, but keeping things a little more on the straight and narrow than Wagoner does.
		Like Porter Wagoner (or the Louvin Brothers) Norma Jean was unpretentious and sincere enough to take this material at face value, and put her heart into her performances.

		Even in the '70s, Wagoner was mixing downhome sentiments with baleful moodiness, as on the disc-closer "I Haven't Learned a Thing," which brings things full circle.
		One of country's most enduring stars, Porter Wagoner is nearly as well-known for his flashy clothes as for his music.
		With his Hank Williams-inspired brand of honky-tonk, Wagoner was a mainstay of the country charts from the early '50s all the way through to the early 80's, and has remained a constant presence at the Grand Old Opry.
