10 Years of Greatest Hits

 (17 customer reviews)

Once upon a time in the early 1980's, Vern Gosdin had a long string of hits. It was for a record company that really didn't have all it's stuff together. Well that company went belly up, and the original recordings seemed lost forever.

Jump ahead to 1987, Vern Gosdin resurfaces on Epic Records, and has a whole new string of hits, and garners loads of attention from critics and award shows. Fans take notice again, only they just can't seem to acquire his earlier hits such as "I Can Tell By The Way You Dance." Well Vern and Epic try their best and do what they can. So Vern heads back to the studio and re-records his greatest hits, doing his best to make them sound like they did on the original recordings. Oh how welcome it was....back in 1989.

Now jump ahead to 2005, all of those Vern Gosdin recordings from the 1980's are now available in their original, and far superior form. This collection, while terrific in 1989, is now completely rendered obsolete...Read more

This is one of those CDs that is true to the country sound. Mind you, if you do not like the REAL country sound don't buy this CD. But if you like the throaty melancholic baritone, then this is it. The tunes here are just plain great. You will not hear the usual pop that passes for country music these days. It's too bad music like this is not played on country stations today. Songs like, "Is it raining at your house", and "Friday night feeling", are memorable. If you like genuine country music get this CD. Just great!!

I love this...if you are a vern gosdin fan...its a must have!
