Bellamy Brothers Release Box Set Through Reader's Digest

April 9, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Country-pop crossovers The Bellamy Brothers are releasing a box set through Reader's Digest, collating four discs' worth of hits with rare and new tracks.

Howard and David Bellamy, self-taught brothers from Florida who enjoyed mixing traditional country sounds with rock/pop influences, first enjoyed success behind the scenes of the music industry. David wrote Top 5 country hit "Spiders and Snakes" for Jim Stafford, while Howard became his road manager. (Trivia alert: Stafford's previous manager was a man named Leo Gallagher, who would become a famed stage act when he dropped his first name and took a sledgehammer to a plethora of watermelons.) Eventually, the brothers signed to Curb Records and released an international hit, the soaring "Let Your Love Flow," in 1976.

The single only hit No. 21 on the country charts, however, and subsequent chart success would be hard to come by until 1979, when the duo scored their first country No. 1 single, "If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me." Thus began a string of country hits through the '80s (all but one of their singles reached the Top 40 during the decade), released through Curb and distributed by a number of labels, including Warner Bros., Elektra and MCA.

In the '90s, the brothers eked out some success releasing their recordings on their own label. (They briefly returned to Curb in 2006 for Angels and Outlaws, Vol. 1, a new compilation featuring duets with other country superstars.) They continue to tour and record, garnering some minor controversy in 2010 for the politically charged track "Jalapeños." That track is one of 60 included on this four-disc set, as well as two new tracks, "Spanish Bible" (to be released on a forthcoming gospel album) and "What a Country."

You can order the Bellamy box here and check the track list after the jump. (A note on discographical information: the duo have recorded and re-recorded their catalogue in the past, and there's unfortunately no way as of now to tell which are original masters and which might be re-recorded. To that end, we have not included any sourcing at this time.)
