Description
The artists span multiple genres and eras, so there is definitely something for everybody - but what ties it all together are these great songs. Each of the artists respected that tradition and in doing so are paying Eddy Arnold the ultimate tribute. " - Plowboy's Shannon Pollard. That's another reason why this record is so fun. When he found the right one, he lived with it long enough to make it his. You don't have to be just a country music fan to enjoy this music, and with this record we have proven that. Eddy Arnold did more than perhaps any other musician to expand the boundaries of country music in the 20th century, a fact reflected in the range of artists on 'You Don't Know Me', Alejandro Escovedo, Lambchop, Frank Black, Melinda Doolittle, Chuck Mead, Bobby Bare Jr, Jason Isbell, Mary Gauthier, Drivin' n' Cryin', Bebe Buell, Pokey LaFarge, Peter Noone, and more. Released on Plowboy Records, the label co- founded by Arnold's grandson, 'You Don't Know Me: Rediscovering Eddy Arnold' puts the focus on Arnold's 70-year career as a songwriter and hit-maker. With the help of Don and Cheetah, these wonderful artists, and the incredible session musicians and engineers, I believe we have accomplished our mission. Several songs were recorded at famed RCA Studio B in Nashville where Arnold recorded many of his signature songs.

Unless you are a Native American, you belong to an immigrant family as well and it’s only a matter of how many generations ago your family had arrived, so don’t mock a newly arrived fellas. There is nothing more powerful than being able to do whatever you want and not being “locked by your own success” as Barbara mentioned in the end. Barbara is truly becoming your close friend as you are reading her struggle and misery over Arnold.
“Come on, girl, love yourself more, forget him already, love your life”, I thought through reading. That’s the last thing the person without accent can do to an immigrant.
Being an European immigrant myself (36 years junior to Arnold and Barbara though), at first I was irritated by a constant mocking his accent. It’s definitely a must read for those who is interested in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s early ears in America. Written by a college professor, professional writer, the book had impressed me with a very broad vocabulary, intriguing style, humorous remarks, honesty.
