Boots Randolph – In Session

• BOOTS RANDOLPH was the first sax man to operate successfully as a session player in Nashville.
• He’d arrived in town in 1958, just as Country music was undergoing major metamorphosis towards sweeter, more commercial sounds, in line with R&R, Rockabilly and contemporary Pop.
• This compilation looks at Boots’ early days in Nashville and features him playing on an eclectic set of Country, R&R and Pop sessions, a representative cross section of what was being recorded in Music City at that time.
• It is a collection of hits, misses and album tracks, plus a couple of his own early instrumentals, notably his signature number, ‘Yakety Sax’ (aka the closing theme to The Benny Hill Show).
• Featured artists include Elvis, Roy Orbison, Brenda Lee, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chet Atkins, Floyd Cramer, Carl Perkins, Brook Benton, and many more.
