Bob Gallion never really made much of an impression on the country
charts or on country history, but as Bear Family's 2000 compilation
Out of a Honky Tonk proves, he didn't deserve to be ignored. He
didn't really have any song that stood out from the pack -- perhaps
that's the reason why he couldn't score a real hit while he was
recording for MGM in the late '60s -- but he was a solid performer
with a strong voice in the best honky tonk tradition. His 1956 single
"Hey, Mr. Bartender" is an overlooked barroom gem that's ripe for
revival, and there are several other songs -- "Out of a Honky Tonk,"
"Your Wild Life's Gonna Get You Down," "You Gotta Have a Heartbreak
(To Know How to Love)" -- that are excellent, straight-ahead country
in the vein of Hank Williams. Out of a Honky Tonk is augmented by a
number of previously unreleased songs -- a total of five -- making
this a complete overview of his waxings for MGM. This isn't necessarily
revelatory material -- Gallion wasn't a lost major talent, just a singer
who was, at his best, nearly excellent and at his worst, quite enjoyable --
but for anyone enamored of hardcore late-'50s country, this is a terrific
listen.
