Customer Reviews:

ACE records deserve a monument!.......2006-04-11

In the past years I have bought lots of ACE records: The
complete series of "Golden Age of American Rock & Roll" (10
CD's) Teen Age Crush (4) Johnny Tillotson, Gene Pitney,Jerry Lee
Lewis, Larry Williams etc. etc. These recordings are the best
ones around. A song from 1954, 55, 56 is turned into a modern-
like recent recorded one. In 2002 ACE reords launched a special
edition of country hits that made it to the Hot 100 on the
pop charts. This is another incredible compilation. From
these 30 original recordings 21 are in full stereo and 20
of them made it to the #1 spot on the C&W charts. I hope
ACE will continue to releasing all these wonderful compilations
whether it's Rock & Roll, Country, Be Bop, Blues or anything
else because as far as quality reordings there's nothing like
it. There are other companies who do their best like Eric and
Life time but they only put 15 to 20 songs on a record and
not 30 like ACE does. Not buying or getting this particular
CD would be a shame!
These guys deserve a monument!

Classic Country and Western.......2006-03-23

I was extremily plesased with this CD. Every song on there was a top hit. Vintage C&W of the late 50's and early 60's.

Golden Greats.......2005-06-01

This CD is one of the best collections of true classic country music I've ever found. Full-length songs by the original artists and a terrific selection, too. You can't ask for anything more. It would have been worth the price for me just to get to hear Carl Butler sing "Don't Let Me Cross Over" one more time, but add Wanda Jackson singing "Right Or Wrong", Dave Dudley's "Six Days On The Road" and all the other wonderful old songs and you have a winning CD that will keep you listening to it over and over again for hours. If you buy only one classic country CD this year, make it this one. It is well worth the money and will give you great country music from a time when it really was country music.

Ace goes country..........2002-12-26

Ace Records of the U.K., the label that has set the standard for reissues of tunes from the golden age of American rock and roll with its "Golden Age..." series goes one further here with a special edition devoted to country classics. With the availability of original country tunes from the 50s and 60s getting harder and harder to come by, this is a welcome appearance. As with the others in the series, Ace has maintained the utmost quality in this CD - a massive 30 tracks, excellent sound quality with many cuts in stereo and a magnificent 24-page liner notes booklet to tell the stories behind the music presented. This piece provides both the casual listener and the avid collector with a broad spectrum of tunes including monster hits and seldom-found rarities. Every tune here was a top-ten country charted as well as having made the top-100 pop charts. Among the well-known hits are Marty Robbins' "El Paso", Johnny Horton's "Battle of New Orleans", Roger Miller's "King of the Road" along with 13 other top-ten pop-charting tunes. Satisfying the collector is the appearance of rarities such as Carl Butler's "Don't Let Me Cross Over", Dave Dudley's "Six Days on the Road" (the original version - not the oft-marketed re-recorded version) and Bobby Edwards' "You're the Reason". Keeping up with the standard of the other "Golden Age..." compilations, sound quality is about as good as it gets for these tracks with 20 of the 30 tracks appearing in stereo. Packed with tons of backround info on the included tracks interspersed with pics and art spots, the liner notes booklet completes the set in extraordinary fashion. Most unfortunately, Ace has ended its "Golden Age..." series making this superb piece a mere tease for what could be expected had Ace continued with more discs in this vein. Nonetheless, this outstanding compilation heads the list of CDs of interest for fans of the genre.

Another Winner From Ace!.......2002-05-25

This CD has been in the making for quite a while. The quality of all ACE product is nothing short of fabulous and this one ranks very high on the excellent quality list. Each and every recording is better than you have ever heard. This issue contains some classic country cross over material that many fans of fifties and sixties rock and roll will relate.
Unlike modern country stars who are subject to the same principles of rapid turnover as their pop counterparts, the country stars of yesteryear were renowned for the longevity of their careers. Once established, they seemed immune to the fickle whims of time and fashion and were guaranteed a following for life, even though some were relatively mature men and women to begin with. Years were lopped off birth dates; toupees were de rigueur for the follically challenged male artists and booze, adultery, hypocrisy, suffering and greed marked the patterns of their lives as readily as it informed the songs they sang. It was these human frailties that endeared them to their fans and in their day they brought pleasure to millions.

Tracks featured include standards such as He'll Have To Go, Oh Lonesome Me, Ring Of Fire, Walk On By and King Of The Road, cult classics, such as Flowers On The Wall, Don't Let Me Cross Over, and Six Days On The Road, and influential trailblazers like Ray Price's Crazy Arms and Detroit City by Bobby Bare. These mega-hits, and others like them, provided now-household names like Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline with a springboard to enduring stardom. As with all ACE products, this Special Country Edition comes with a lavishly illustrated 24-page booklet with detailed annotation by Rob Finnis. It's pure excellence.

Aside from thousands of regular "Golden Age" fans, this Special Edition is sure to appeal to many of you out there who want just one discerning selection of Country classics in their collections, as well as country diehards who will welcome an opportunity to acquire 30 of their favourite records - beautifully sequenced and mastered - in the same place, at the same time! This one is a must for every collector. A big thanks to Rob Finnis and ACE!
