Little Jimmy Dickens is the master of the country novelty song, as well as a renowned ballad singer. He also known for his diminutive stature -- he's less than five feet tall -- and his affection for flamboyant, rhinestone-studded outfits and country humor. Although he never had a consistent presence on the charts, he managed to have hits in every decade between the 1940s and the 1970s, and he became one of the Grand Ole Opry's most popular performers.

Dickens was the 13th child of a West Virginian farmer. During his childhood, he fell in love with music and had a dream of performing on the Grand Ole Opry. He began performing professionally while he was a student at the University of West Virginia in the late '30s, singing on a local radio station. Dickens left school shortly after he received his regular radio job. He began traveling around the country, singing on radio shows in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan under the name Jimmy the Kid. Roy Acuff heard Dickens sing on a radio show in Saginaw, MI, and invited him to sing on the Grand Ole Opry.

In 1949, Dickens -- who was now using the name Little Jimmy Dickens -- became a permanent member of the Grand Ole Opry. That year, he also signed a record contract with Columbia Records, releasing his first single, "Take an Old Cold Tater and Wait," in the spring of 1949. The song became a Top Ten hit and launched a string of hit novelty, ballad, and honky tonk singles that lasted for a year, including "Country Boy," "A-Sleeping at the Foot of the Bed," "Hillbilly Fever," and "My Heart's Bouquet." Early in the '50s, he formed a band called the Country Boys, which featured a steel guitar, two lead guitars, and drums. With their spirited traditional country approach and vague rockabilly inflections, the band didn't sound like their Nashville contemporaries. Perhaps that's why Dickens only had one hit between 1950 and 1962: 1954's "Out Behind the Barn."

Dickens bounced back to the Top Ten with the ballad "The Violet and the Rose" in 1962. Three years later, he had his biggest hit, "May the Bird of Paradise Fly up Your Nose." The single topped the country charts and crossed over to number 15 on the pop charts. Although his next single, "When the Ship Hit the Sand," was moderately successful, Dickens wasn't able to replicate the success of "May the Bird of Paradise Fly up Your Nose." In 1968, he stopped recording for Columbia, signing with Decca Records, where he had three minor hits in the late '60s and early '70s. In 1971, he moved to United Artists, which resulted in two more small hits, but by that time he had begun to concentrate on performing as his main creative outlet. Dickens continued to tour and perform at the Grand Ole Opry into the '90s, becoming one of the most beloved characters in country music.

Country Boy is a Bear Family four-disc import box set that collects Little Jimmy Dickens' complete Columbia recordings from 1949-1957 including most of his biggest hits, several sacred recordings, a handful of instrumentals, and much more. Dickens' music from this era vacillated between silly hillbilly novelties and maudlin weepers, which might sound like a jarring mix but actually makes for a more engaging listening experience when digesting a huge set of this sort. Dickens was an adept ballad singer but, because of his physical appearance, wasn't taken as seriously as he might have been. On the novelties, with his trademark twin electric guitar sound and humorous rural sensibility, Dickens made some of the most fun and funny music of the '50s. Country Boy unearths a number of excellent unreleased performances and stands as a well-deserved tribute to a beloved figure of country music.

Razor & Tie's 1996 compilation I'm Little But I'm Loud: The Jimmy Dickens Collection is the first comprehensive collection assembled on the diminutive Nashville legend, and it's also a collection that takes his frequently silly music seriously. While it hardly digs as deep as the two Bear Family boxes that followed this in 1997 and 1998, it covers the same period with the same purpose: Namely, it goes through his Columbia recordings of 1949 through 1967 with the intention of not just serving up the hits, but illustrating that Dickens was a first-rate country singer and not just a purveyor of novelties. Although it may get a little too silly at times for some listeners, it nevertheless does its job well, because it does show that Dickens' high, plaintive, nasal voice was quite versatile, and that he could tackle heartbreak ballads, hillbilly boogie, and honky tonk as well as his goofy novelties. Of course, those silly songs are what he was known for, and they're all here, from "Take an Old Cold Tater (And Wait)" in 1949 to "May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose." If this collection was just 22 tracks of novelties, it would wear thin quickly (and, truth be told, the nasal qualities of Dickens' voice may make this a bit much for some listeners, even those who like hillbilly music), but instead the compilers vary the material, sometimes leaving hits behind -- it's missing the 1965 cut "He Stands Real Tall," plus two pure novelties from 1966 in "When the Ship Hit the Sand" and "Who Licked the Red Off Your Candy" -- in favor for stronger material. It's a gambit that works, because it reveals that Little Jimmy Dickens was a first-rate pure country singer, filled with all the corn and heartbreak that made the Grand Ole Opry great in the late '40s and '50s. While the Bear Family boxes will be for those who really want to dig deep, most listeners will be more than satisfied with this first-rate collection that explains exactly why Little Jimmy Dickens is a country legend.
