Amazon.com essential recording

Hank 101. Country 101. After 27 years in print as 24 Greatest Hits, Mercury kindly reduced it to 20 Greatest Hits. It's still excellent value, and it's still sobering to realize that Hank recorded just 66 songs during his lifetime, almost all of them essential. Here are those that serve as a working definition of country music, and as an admonition to artists who try to get too wordy or try to lose themselves in minor keys. "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Honky-Tonk Blues," "Cold, Cold Heart," "Lovesick Blues," "You Win Again," "I Can't Help It," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," and the rest. Fifty years later, they still have the power to move, and the power to shape modern country music. --Colin Escott

4 out of 5 stars Hank made a lot of great music!.......2006-11-10

Listening to this CD brought back a lot of memories of some great songs. I had forgotten how many songs Hank wrote. The quality of the recording is pretty decent, considering that some of the music was originally recorded a long time ago. There's quite a number of songs that have been recorded by others later, but Hank was the guy who wrote them...

5 out of 5 stars HANK TELLS IT LIKE IT IS.......2006-08-29

I remember Hank. He could not write a bad song if he tried. The majority of his songs were about life, love and living. Often I saw myself in his songs.

To me, this collection is the best-of-the-best of Hank. If you like a good love song that tells a story, you will love this CD -- all 20 songs.

Anybody who likes Hank Williams will love this album. Classic Hank (tear jerker songs) Wonderful country poetry lyrics. This album has been remastered beautifully. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Never grows old.......2006-03-16

Hank Williams layed the foundation for all the kids that came after Him to Build.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Cd Ever.......2006-03-09

I am 31 - but grew up on country music. I love all music - but especially older country music. I love Hank senior Johnny Cash etc. This CD is one of my very best purchases ever. I have a large music collection. If you enjoy his music -this is a must buy. Don't think twice. The best music is a souls essence released in song.

5 out of 5 stars Best Single Disc of Tammy's Solo Hits, But Far From Complete.......2003-07-25

Tammy Wynette was the country queen of unstable domesticity. Her tear-stained voice conveyed the effects a rocky marriage has on the kids in such sagas as "D-I-V-O-R-C-E," "Bedtime Story," "I Don't Wanna Play House," and "Kids Say The Darndest Things." She'd try her best to make a relationship work, as evidenced on her signature tune "Stand By Your Man" and "Run Woman Run," but when that wasn't ultimately possible, she would resign herself to getting on with her life the best way she knew how, be it hesitantly ("Til I Can Make It On My Own," "Til I Get It Right"), regretfully ("One Of A Kind," "You And Me"), or defiantly ("Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad"). Tammy did record quite a few thoroughly upbeat hits, such as the rousing "Good Lovin' (Makes It Right)" and "Singing My Song," but it is the heartbreakers that Tammy did better than anyone and for which she will always be associated.

This collection - the strongest single Wynette disc available - contains twenty of her best solo singles - including all of those mentioned above - released between 1966 (her debut "Apartment # 9") and 1978 (the defiant "Womanhood"), the lone major omission from this period being her spinetingling "Another Lonely Song." Thus, none of her celebrated collaborations with George Jones (get their collection 16 Biggest Hits) or even David Houston (on "My Elusive Dreams") are found here, nor such latterday solo toe-tappers as 1979's "They Call It Making Love" and 1982's "Another Chance." Until an expanded single disc of Tammy's best comes along, the only place to get all of these recordings in one place is her box set Tears of Fire (which contains a lot of filler).

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful memories.......2007-03-14

Merle has that wonderful early country music warmth when he sings. It is all about his experiences and his feelings. He doesn't rely on all the electronic back ups to high light his voice, it is just him.

This is the best collection of songs by the "Hag" that I have in my collection. Will bring back many memories to Merle Haggard fans.

5 out of 5 stars You've gotta love this CD - It's the best of Merle.......2005-11-03

I was fascinated to find out that Merle either wrote or co-wrote most of the songs on this CD. I would recommend this CD to anyone who likes the "real country" music. All you have to do is listen to this CD and you will know that Merle has lived what he writes about. You will like this CD!

I was a young boy some 55 years ago, when Lefty Frizzell was popular. Will never forget the songs of those days. Was truly glad that his music was put on CD's

1 out of 5 stars Lefty stands tall but the CD is poor quality........2007-05-27

I love Lefty and all his music but the CD hangs up on every cut.

4 out of 5 stars essential.......2006-11-06

This guy was Gram Parson's favourite country singer. This makes him worth listening to. Essential for country lovers.

4 out of 5 stars Fine collection.......2005-11-19

Yes, there are some re-recordings on this collection, but, they are tastefully done and still worth a listen. I could not imagine what Country Music would be without Lefty and Webb, and this collection shows you just how much country music owes to Mr Frizzell. If you are a true country music fan, you'll recognize every one of these numbers, but there are some real standouts here, to include: "Cigarettes & Coffee Blues" and a great version of "Gone, Gone, Gone". The production is fine and other than the remakes, there really is nothing to complain about. B+

2 out of 5 stars too many re-recordings for my taste.......2002-07-28

That's right, this is a collection of mostly the 60's countrypolitan stereo remakes of the 1950's classics with a sprinkling of originals from the 1960's but the re-recordings are definitely enough to let you all know that this CD is not recommended and that I recommend the Legacy "Look What Thoughts Will Do" 2 CD set with only the originals. It may be a little higher priced but it delivers what it promises, the originals. The disc is rated 1 star for the heavy amount of re-recordings (many awful performances) and another star for the sprinkling of originals.

If only Mel Street hadn't taken his own life, we would have been blessed by more songs from this amazing country singer. Every one of his songs is a honkytonk gem. I would love to hear a tribute album by George Jones and Mark Chesnutt.

5 out of 5 stars Mel Street - No One Compares.......2006-03-12

Bought this CD and loved it. Played it for a friend who had to have one. Now he plays it constantly. Says it's the best CD he's heard in years. Nothing but great songs from a great singer. I have to agree with my friend. There hasn't been a CD on the market with this much good slow dancing country music in a long while. God bless the people who put the package together because it really is the Greatest Hits of Mel Street. I know, I grew up wanting to be a singer like Mel Street.

even though these are not original recs. Nice sounding and enjoyable. highly recommend. Amigos guitar is awesome.

2 out of 5 stars Not a great remake.......2006-04-30

The young voice is missing on this one. I have some of the same songs on vinyl records. If I had listened to it first, I would not have bought it. It might be OK for someone not familiar with the original recordings.

4 out of 5 stars Great Singer as Always .......2005-09-24

I am really tired of all these people going around and giving one star ratings for every album of remakes just because it's an album of remakes!!! I suppose they would give someone a bad concert review because their live vocals were not the original recording! Judge each individual recording on it's own merits please (1) are the vocals good? (2) are the songs good? (3) is the production good? Ok, these remakes are not as an outstanding a production as the originals yet these are still very enjoyable tracks with Kitty singing remarkably strong well into her senior years.

1 out of 5 stars Beware - Remakes.......2005-05-14

Classic country songs, but not classic performances/productions. Instead these are cheaply produced remakes. If you are at all particular about such concerns as I am keep, keep looking. As seen on TV - who cares?

Most of the world knows Tammy Wynette only because "Stand by Your Man" cracked the pop Top 20. There's so much more to Wynette, though, than just that misunderstood hit, and Anniversary is a superb one-disc introduction to the wide world of Wynette: the heart-wrenchingly realistic tales of crumbling marriages and confused kids ("D-I-V-O-R-C-E," "I Don't Wanna Play House"); the sweet duets with husband George Jones ("Golden Ring"); the sisterly advice ("Woman to Woman"); the gratefulness for true love ("Good Lovin',"); the struggle for independence ("Til I Can Make It on My Own"). The 20 hit singles here flesh out the complex point of view behind "Stand by Your Man," reminding that gender politics are always emotional, personal, and capable of breaking your heart. --David Cantwell

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Oldies but Goodies.......2006-11-10

Even though these are old songs this is a good CD. I like it mostly for the love/sad songs. She can really get to you with her voice. Worth buying.

4 out of 5 stars Outstanding collection of "The First Lady of Country Music".......2004-06-28

I picked up this disc recently to replace a woefully inadequate 10 song collection I had purchased on vinyl a decade ago. Let me tell you this one is the real deal. After her debut single "Apartment #9" hit the Top Country Singles chart back in 1966 Tammy Wynette would go on to totally dominate these charts for the next decade. During her "salad" days from 1967 through 1976 Tammy would amass a total of 17 #1 country hits. And her hits with her then husband George Jones are among the finest country duets of all-time. Although "Anniversary: 20 Years of Hits" features only about half of her really big hits it should be more than adequate for most fans and collectors. Her most popular and familiar tunes are here including "D-I-V-O-R-C-E",
the heartbreaking "I Don't Wanna Play House" and the tune that would become her signature song "Stand By Your Man" You will also find three duets with George Jones including "We're Gonna Hold On", "Golden Ring" and "Two Story House". But perhaps my favorite song on the disc is 1973's #1 smash "Kids Say The Darndest Things". The included liner notes here were somewhat disappointing but all in all this is a very fine collection. For those diehards seeking more of Tammy's music check out her 3 CD box set "Tears of Fire" released in 1992. Sadly Tammy Wynette passed away in 1998. Later that year she was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame.

5 out of 5 stars A Legacy of Hits.......1998-07-22

Although it has been over a decade now since this tribute to the First Lady of Country Music's many hits was released, it is still one of the best chronicles of the style, sound and emotion that made Wynette the "queen of heartache" in a country song. But remember, the 20 cuts here are just the tip of the iceberg. There are MANY more musical gems out there by this legendary performer waiting for your enjoyment!

5 out of 5 stars Pure, exciting Tammy Wynette--no doubt the best of her best!.......1998-07-03

Especially now after her untimely demise, it is wonderful to be able to hear ALL of her infamous recordings of the last 20 years. The sound is clear and creates a visual picture of this great lady of country music. Since most of her older recordings are worn out or lost, I was ecstatic to find this collection. A definite necessity for all Tammy's fans!

2 out of 5 stars Ugh... All songs are re-recorded or alternate versions.......2007-04-21

I bought this album expecting to hear my favorite Johnny Paycheck songs, but I was disappointed with it. All of the songs are re-recordings or alternate versions.... Not the versions of the songs that you've heard on the radio and know and love. The information on the CD does not provide any indication of when these songs were recorded, but it sounds like they were recorded by a MUCH OLDER Johnny Paycheck than the original recordings.

Heaven's Almost As Big As Texas -- the version on this album doesn't have any of the punch of the original.

I subsequently bought The Soul and the Edge, and was much happier with that, thought to get Heaven's Almost As Big as Texas, I ended up also ordering the album, Take This Job and Shove it.

Oh well.

5 out of 5 stars LORETTA TELLS OUR STORIES.......2005-10-31

I LOVE LORETTA -- THEY (The producers of records) back in the 40s and 50s said that WOMEN WILL NOT BUY WOMEN. So, there were no big female stars. Then came PATSY CLINE she started a trend. She was the greatest.

Loretta came on the scene and started a revolution in the country music. She sang about the facts of life -- the other woman -- the pill (the first time I heard it on the Radio in Chicago was the last time.) It was so shocking it was banned in Chicago!! But we bought her record by the hundreds, thousands. And proved that women WOULD buy women. And she went on to write about life, love, happiness and unhappiness. SHE IS TREMENDOUS. SHE IS TALENTED. And she is beautiful.

5 out of 5 stars 20 Greatest Hits is worth every penny !.......2005-02-07

20 Greatest Hits contain all the big hits and included one song I could not find "We've Come A Long Way, Baby" on any other cd! I highly reccommend this disc with all of Loretta's big hits and the above mentioned song. GOOD OLD COUNTRY MUSIC AT IT's BEST !

5 out of 5 stars It captures the real Loretta!.......1999-06-04

I think Loretta Lynn is the greatest country singer of all time. I have most of her albums. I grew up listening to my mother sing along with Loretta on the radio.

5 out of 5 stars An outstanding album containing some of Loretta Lynn's best!.......1998-11-26

I don't consider myself a country music fan. I happened to buy this album out of curiosity after watching "Coal miner's daughter." It was an eye-opening experience to listen to this record. Not only does she tell heartfelt life stories, she also sings them beuatifully. Whether she is singing upbeat tunes like "They don't make'em like my daddy anymore," or slow ballads like "When the tingle becomes a chill," she touches your heart with achingly honest emotion filled vocals. I am not ashamed to admit that I get goosebumps whenever I hear "Coal miner's daughter."
