It truly is the only classic country collection that you'll ever need!

Terrific music, terrible title, April 26, 2012

This review is from: Only Classic Country Collection You'll Ever (Audio CD)

The ONLY classic country collection you'll every need? Not unless you don't like country much! These songs from the 50s, 60s, and 70s and the stars who performed them are indeed among the best and most famous, but there's so much more to hear and enjoy. For every "Stand by Your Man," there's an "I Don't Wanna Play House." For every "Wichita Lineman," there's a "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." For every "Behind Closed Doors," there's "The Most Beautiful Girl." You get the picture.

Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and George Jones recorded so many hits that choosing just one is simply impossible. And the fathers of honky-tonk (Ernest Tubb and Lefty Frizzell), western swing (Bob Wills), and bluegrass (Bill Monroe) all deserve far more than a single track each. However, if big hits are all you want, this two-CD set has 34 great ones. There's not a song on the album that doesn't represent the essence of country...Read more

Great to hear some of the Old Timers and renew memories. The newbies seem to lack the sincerity and twang.

Bought this for my great uncle. He has told me the recordings and quality are really good. He knew all of the songs and listens to this CD over and over again. For me, that's money well spent.
