The Complete Columbia Hits and More [Import]

Product Description:
With only a skimpy greatest hits LP reissue available here in the States, we thought the time had come for a big, bad collection from that country singer, storyteller and, yes, sausage-maker supreme, Jimmy Dean! This-here is his COMPLETE Columbia hits, some of which have never been on CD, along with some key album tracks and non-charting singles with special attention to those story songs that Jimmy did so well. 24 slices of some of the most infectious country music ever waxed! Includes 'Deep Blue Sea; Big Bad John' with the "hell of a man" ending; 'P.T. 109; The First Thing Ev'ry Morning (and the Last Thing Ev'ry Night); Harvest of Sunshine; Little Sandy Sleighfoot; Sing Along; Dear Ivan; To a Cajun Queen; To a Sleeping Beauty; Little Bitty Big John; Steel Men; Little Black Book; Gonna Raise a Ruckus Tonight; This Ole House; Mind Your Own Business; My Heart Is an Open Book' (later a big hit for Carl Dobkins, Jr.); 'Makin' My Mind Up; Starlight Starbright; Little Boy Lost; Mile-Long Train; Thumb Pick Pete; Striker Bill', and 'Yes, Patricia, There Is a Santa Claus'.

Another coup for the Collector's Choice label.......2004-12-31

For a guy who was once so famous, former sausage king and soft-country crooner Jimmy Dean sure dropped off the radar over the years. This is the first major retrospective of his work to come out in the States on CD, gathering together his biggest hits for Columbia, including "Big Bad John" and the various "big, bad" spinoff singles, along with the remainder of his chart singles made before he left the label in 1966. Dean's star was already falling when he split for RCA, and there's not much notable in his career after that, other than his mid-'70s Mother's Day novelty hit, "IOU," which sadly is not included on here. This 24-song collection is pretty comparable to the Bear Family import that came out a decade earlier: both albums have all his major hits, and then they veer off in different directions when it comes to the B-sides and album tracks, and the Bear Family set only goes up to '62. This new retrospective sticks more strictly to his chart material, so it may be more interesting to folks who knew Dean through the radio... at any rate, if you want to check Dean out, this is the place to go.
