Now if you ask me, and so many folks do that I can't recollect what the number is, then this here Boxcar Willie CD is the all-time best use of plastics every created by mankind. This ain't just a collection of Boxcar's best songs, it's a collection of "best loved favorites." So this ain't a compilation CD of a bunch of tunes some producer in a studio decided to put together and flog to the masses - no - this one is a collection of the favorites.... And you know darn well what that means! It means you are going to be tapping your toes, whistlin' along, and grinning as the ole' Boxcar does what made him famous. Well, actually appearing in advertisements on UHF television channels at 2:30 AM made him famous, but his music makin' s also significant in his current standing as one of the greatest human beings to emerge from Sterratt, Texas.

BoxCar Willie is one of my favorite country singers I listened to & loved the whole CD. I would recommend it to anyone who likes this singer. My most favorite song is " Whistle Ain't Made Of Gold" Amanda Miller
Owned these since 1988,

Note: This is only the first of two Best Loved Favorites albums.
My parents got these from Heartland Music in 1988 after seeing an ad. I was 5 at the time. I played these over and over again.
These are great easy listening songs and although the music is a bit similar throughout, you can't help but enjoy them.
Boxcar Willie actually adds a nice spin to each of the songs and "keeps them moving." The harmony is quite nice.
It's difficult to choose a favorite but mine would have to be (and is my favorite recording of this song) Wings of a Dove.
They're great as traveling music.
I own mine on two cassettes and hope to get them on CD someday.
