Product Description:
"JOHNNY SEAY-His Music 1958-1999 Vol.1 Featuring 41 Years of His Earliest to His Latest Recording's"

Cowboy, cropduster, locomotive engineer, trapper, hand engraver of classic American firearms, western artist and scupltor... any of these terms could be used to accurately describe Johnny Seay, but collectively they give a more complete picture of the man who spent the first 30 years of his life as one of country music's best vocalists.

Seay left the music business in 1969 without looking back, after years of battles over creative direction of his recording career, but not before compiling a list of country's best hits of the 1960s and a Grammy nomination to boot for his poignant performance of "Day for Decision." Seay spent most of the next 30 years living and working in some of the aforementioned professions, and continues to fly a cropduster to this day over the farms and ranches and under the power-lines around his adopted West Texas home range. It is the kind of life that has led some, including KTFW's Bo Powell to refer to Johnny Seay as country music's "Renaissance Man."

We hope this collection is a found treasure to you. Most are from the past and have not been available for thirty to forty years and this is the first time on CD. So many radio stations and fans have asked for these recording be released on CD, we felt it was long past due. Five new recording's by Johnny have been included, which make this collection and even greater treasure.

5 out of 5 stars Gold Mine.......2006-05-09

I've listened to these recordings over and over while working. When I hear these songs I actually feel like I'm transported back to when country music meant something more. Whatever derailed his career is truly a tragedy for us cowboys, because we sure enjoyed singing along. I recommend this cd to anyone who likes country with a growl and loud guitar. If you like Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, or any of the other titans, you'll love Jonny Seay. Anyone who wants something that hasn't been marketed down their throat will find this, not only refreashing, but a gold mine.
