Best possible selection available.......2007-06-21
and mid 80's. His incredible deep baritone voice + the wonderfully
arranged melodies scored hit after hit. During those days I collected
each and every LP launched on the market because, besides the hits,
all other songs were beautiful as well. Like so many other great C&W
artists of the 70's and 80's he stopped having success around '89 when
producers decided to change country music into pop music and struggle
for the Hot 100. That was the end of 3 full decades of authentic C&W
music. A real pity!
My opinion.......2007-06-11
My favourite though, has got to be 'You're My Best Friend". In this Don uses the soft gentleness of his voice to tell of his friendship with his wife.
There are many of his great songs also, I'm Just A Country Boy - Tulsa Time - Good Ole Boys Like Me and Listen To The Radio mixed with some that I hadn't heard before. Don sings sad and heartbreaking songs without being morbid.
All in all, it is a good mix of great country songs from one of the best in the business. Hard to beleive he's just turned 68.

The Killer's Best.......2007-06-08
Great collection.......2007-01-14
Worthy Of "The Killer's" Achievement.......2006-11-10
Does Jerry's career the justice it deserves.......2006-05-13
Jerry started his career with some immensely successful rockabilly sides. He was the only true competitor to one Elvis Presley. Lewis could have gone in to history as the King of Rock & Roll if it weren't for his highly controversial marriage to 13 year old kin. Because R&R was marketed to kids radio stations refused to play his music once the scandal got out. This chain of events turned out to be a curse and a blessing at the same time. Although it slowed down his career it did push Jerry into country recordings. As it turned out this is were his true strength lied.
This taken into account the decision to include only a hand full of his Sun material is completely justified. It highlights only his biggest hits for the label before moving on to his Mercury of the sixties and seventies. The first of these selections "What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out Of Me)" immediately illustrates this is a much more edgy and mature Lewis. Gone are the dance crazes of "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On" and gone is the teen romance of "High School Confidential", only to be replaced by tales of a man struggling to get through his life. These are songs of a man who realizes life isn't as clear cut as it seems in High School. Titles as "She Still Comes Around (To Love What's Left Of Me)" and "One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)" speak for itself on that matter.
One could argue that a single disc could never cover the essential Jerry Lee Lewis. Too much highlights of his career are missing. Yet for a single disc, with an insightful 16 page booklet, and Rhino's "All Killer No Filler" now out of print, this is the only compilation around that gives you an introduction to the man that does him justice. It's a Killer!
A genuine 'Best Of' ... almost.......2006-05-03
But...Universal (zero stars, hence the average rating) have been at it again.... following on from the consistent (and unwelcome) party trick played by UK Spectrum in featuring 'wrong tracks' on their JLL collections, most recently in respect of the '1963-77' Mercury set "Many Sides Of JLL", which includes a 1989 (movie-soundtrack) recording of 'Crazy Arms', their US colleagues have shown that they are equally adept at screwing things up...
Hard on the heels of "Many Sides" comes, on Universal's US imprint Hip-O Records, a fine looking collection called "The Defintive Jerry Lee Lewis", featuring, as a sticky label proclaims, "His 24 Greatest Hits 1957-81", taking us through from 'Whole Lotta Shakin' (plus five other Sun tracks) and concluding with a couple of Elektra masters, sandwiching sixteen of Jerry Lee's biggest Mercury hits.
A good looking, 16 page booklet, fronted, mercifully, by a highly suitable circa 1970 photo, with extensive, well-written (if predictable, in terms of content), liner notes. So far so good, although strange that the chronological order of the recordings is compromised by 'inverting' "What's Made Milwaukee Famous" and "Another Place Another Time" - be that as it may, a minor blemish on what appears to be, indeed, a 'Definitive' collection; the sort of thing you'd happily pass on to a friend as an 'introduction' to JLL, to convey something of the scope and depth of his career to those who haven't got beyond 1958...
And then, just when you thought they'd cracked it..
You get to 1973 and, sandwiched between "Sometimes A Memory Ain't Enough" and "He Can't Fill My Shoes", is a 'boisterous' "Drinkin' Wine Spo-dee o'dee" (okay, again messing slightly with the chronology, but perhaps forgivable), originally released, as the booklet tells us, on
Mercury single 73374 and a #20 country, #41 pop hit. Well, sort of. What you actually get is a 1963 recording originally outed on the 1966 album 'Memphis Beat'.
Fantastic music; Jerry Lee in his prime, marred only by the serial-spoilers at Universal. One is always left with the impression that the attitude is 'just get it out; make a buck; why should we care?'

more greats from a one of a kind man.......2007-07-04
This is another great CD of hits by Tom T. Hall. Two days ago, I got to hear him on XM radio, interviewed by Bill Anderson, and a couple of songs from this album were mentioned. He mentioned not being allowed to sing "I Love," on network TV, because one of the things he loves is, grass. The Tv censor took "Grass," to mean pot. Any fan of Tom T. Hall knows that would be the furthest thing from his mind when he mentioned grass. He was of the generation which, if he wanted to alter his mind, would do it with beer. see "I like Beer." "Deal," "Fox on the Run," and "Old Side of Town," were totally new to me when I got this, and I love them all. "Old Side of Town," sounds like a George Jones song. "Homecoming," was first offered to Bill Anderson himself, who passed on it, letting Tom T. take it into orbit. just some of the good stuff on this excellent CD.
Great sampling of a great talent!.......2007-06-09
For Tom T. Hall Fans.......2007-02-06
Country music storyteller.......2006-11-16
Tom wrote and recorded songs that told stories - little vignettes of everyday life. Other country singers did this too, but only as a part of what they did. For Tom, story songs were what mattered. You want typical love songs? Look elsewhere. Yes, Tom sometimes sang about love but, like everything else, he told it in a story.
This collection includes all his country top ten hits plus his own recording of Harper Valley PTA, a song that he wrote but which became a huge international hit for Jeannie C Riley. Her version, which sold over four million copies, topped the American charts but didn't quite make the top ten in the UK.
Among Tom's classics here are Old dogs children and watermelon wine (my favorite), Faster horses, I like beer, Ballad of forty dollars, I love, Country is, That song is driving me crazy and The year that Clayton Delaney died.
Conspicuous by their absence are Sneaky snake and One hundred children. They may not have reached the country top ten but they are among his best songs and certainly better known than some of the songs that are included here. Still, I've yet to see a compilation that includes all Tom's classic songs. Other compilations that include those two miss out other classics - and that includes the double CD boxed set, which (as I said in my review of it) could so easily have been a triple CD with no drop in quality. Dedicated fans can at least get all the classics by buying different compilations, though that means a lot of duplication. If you are such a fan, you may be better to start with the box, then add Greatest hits 2 and one of the RCA compilations, then see what else you want.
If you only want one CD of Tom's music, this is the one to buy despite the absence of two classics. If you enjoy it as much as I do, you can always buy more of his music another time.
Repackaged version of Hall's Ultimate Collection from 2001.......2006-07-29
Literate and folkie, Hall's early Mercury recordings were often inspired by real life events. Produced by Jerry Kennedy, the earliest hits - "Ballad of Forty Dollars," "A Week in a County Jail," and "Salute to a Switchblade Knife" - sound similar to his work with Roger Miller. These sardonic sides, along with such classics as "Homecoming," "The Year That Clayton Delaney Died," and "Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine," still conjure wry poignancy.
Hall embraced country radio by mixing barfly sing-a-longs "That Song is Driving Me Crazy" and "I Like Beer" with kid-friendly ditties ala "I Love" and "I Care." Yet, he also boldly experimented with his basic sound. Examples? "Ravishing Ruby" employed Mexican xylophone long before Jimmy Buffet did, and "Fox on the Run"was a rare commercial blow for bluegrass.
At his commercial peak, Hall left Mercury for RCA, where the enclosed hits "What Have You Got to Lose" and "The Old Side of Town" demonstrate an artist whose work had become merely product. A return to Mercury yielded a popular remake of Rudy Vallee's "P.S. I Love You" (the final track found here) before his star completely faded.
Although it omits interesting lesser hits, this crisp sounding collection is a strong retrospective of a great singer-songwriter. It is a repackaged version of Hall's Ultimate Collection that was put out in 2001.

The Definitive Collection-The Statler Brothers.......2007-03-09
Great Collection!.......2005-08-28
Outstanding anthology of one of Americas great vocal groups .......2005-04-23
Released in April 2005, "The Definitive Collection" features 25 of the Statler Brothers biggest and most memorable hit records.
The remastering job is first rate and I was very pleased to discover that the original Columbia recording of the Lew Dewitt penned "Flowers On The Wall", the groups first big hit from 1965, is included here. I also enjoyed the newly remastered versions of the early '70s hits "Do You Remember These?" and "Class of '57". It was these two records that turned me on to the group and made me a fan for life. While perusing the 12 page booklet you might be surprised to learn that with the exception of a handful of "oldies but goodies" that the group decided to cover, just about all of the other tunes were written by members of the group. Enjoy Don Reid's handiwork on "Bed of Roses", "I'll Go To My Grave Loving You" and the 1984 smash "Atlanta Blue". Don and Harold Reid collaborated on a number of hits including "I'll Be The One", "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine?" as well as the aforementioned "Do You Remember These?" When long time member Lew Dewitt was forced to retire with painful Krohn's disease in 1982, the group tapped 25 year old Jimmy Fortune to fill the void. It was a stroke of genius! Jimmy was not only a talented vocalist, he was also a gifted and prolific songwriter. In fact, several of the Statlers' biggest tunes were penned by Jimmy including "Elizabeth", "My Only Love", "Too Much On My Heart" and the moving "More Than A Name On A Wall" from 1989.
In the final analysis reviewer PD Harris is correct. This is "not quite a definitive" collection. After all, the group had a total of 66 charted hits on Billboard's "Top Country Singles" chart. At least 10-12 of their Top 10 hits are not included here. But I am not going to quibble about it. Those who desire more can always grab the 3 disc "30th Anniversary" box set. It seems to me that "The Definitive Collection" is the right choice for most collectors and fans of the group. The music is timeless and eternally uplifting. Very highly recommended!
Not quite definitive but a fine collection.......2005-04-19
This collection is presented in chronological order and includes some of their finest recordings. I notice that over half of the tracks are from the Jimmy Fortune era. As most of my favorites are from the Lew DeWitt era, I would have compiled it differently. Notable omissions from the Lew DeWitt era are Silver medals and sweet memories, Whatever happened to Randolph Scott?, Carry me back and Susan when she tried (a song that Elvis Presley covered) - and that's just a few of them. It must have been hard for the compilers to select just twenty-five songs to fit on a single CD.
The Jimmy Fortune era is (as I explained) well represented and includes classic songs such as Elizabeth, Too much on my heart and More than just a name on the wall.
The Statlers sang about a variety of things, but nostalgia was one of their trademarks. Normally, when singers want to go back in time, they record covers of songs from the era they want to remember. The Statlers adopted a different approach - they wrote new songs about the old days - and about old movies. Good examples include The class of '57 (about the people they went to school with, and what happened to them) and Do you remember these?
The Statlers recorded other types of song too, including love songs and gospel songs - but whatever they chose to sing, their quartet harmony singing remains one of the most recognisable sounds in country music history, so even their cover versions sound distinctive - listen to their version of Hello Mary Lou.
The set opens with Flowers on the wall, the song that provided them with their first success way back in the sixties. It even became a minor UK hit, something they were unable to repeat although they might have done if the UK division of Mercury had made an effort.
Although this is a fine collection, I recommend saving a bit more money and buying the 30th anniversary box set instead. It omits three of the tracks here (Thank God I've got you, I was there, You'll be back every night in my dreams) but includes forty other tracks and an impressive booklet. Now THAT is the definitive collection.

The best single CD of Loretta's hits.......2005-07-14
At the start of the sixties, female singers had a really hard tine getting noticed, except Patsy Cline. Loretta (along with Dolly and Tammy) helped to change this forever, by recording songs that appealed to women as well as men. While men (including myself) can sometimes be satisfied with women singing love songs, Loretta recorded some hard-hitting songs about life and its struggles.
Examples of her diverse themes include her heritage (Coal miners' daughter), fending off other women (You ain't woman enough, Woman of the world, Fist city), everyday life (One's on the way) and the evil of drinking too much (Don't come home a-drinking). All these songs can be found on this collection. Of course, she sings love songs too and plenty of those are included on this set, although these are not what Loretta is best remembered for. Among the love songs here is a cover of She's got you, a Patsy Cline song that Loretta also had a huge country hit with.
Her duets with Conway Twitty were an important feature of her career. Five are included here - After the fire is gone, Lead me on, As soon as I hang up the phone, Louisiana woman Mississippi man and Feelins'.
Notwithstanding Van Lear Rose, her incredible comeback album in 2004, Loretta's reputation ultimately rests on the music that she recorded in the sixties and seventies. 25 tracks are nowhere near comprehensive (notable omissions include Your squaw is on the warpath, Hey Loretta and They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore) but this single CD will be enough for most people, particularly those of you whose introduction to Loretta's music was via that comeback album.
If you only want a single CD of Loretta's sixties and seventies music, make it this one or All-time greatest hits. Committed fans may prefer the boxed set (Honky tonk girl).
Best single disc Lynn set now available, but not definitive.......2005-06-11
From 1967 - 1971, Lynn was at her commercial and artistic peak. She wrote most of her hits during this period and no subject appears to have been off-limits. "Fist City" finds Lynn willing to get physical to keep her man while "Rated X" discusses the stigma placed on divorced on women. "One's On The Way" humorously poked at the drudgeries of being a housewife with a lot of kids. Country pride also played a prominent role in Lynn's music during this era with "You're Looking At Country" and"Coal Miner's Daughter," which would become Lynn's signature song.
By 1972, Lynn stopped writing her own material (due to a bad publishing deal with the Wilburn Brothers). Her musical stylings had expanded, with "Trouble In Paradise" finding Lynn experimenting with rock (and sounding extremely ill at ease). Pop-flavored ballads like "When The Tingle Becomes A Chill" and "Somebody Somewhere" also became more common as Lynn's distinctive sound became watered down during the mid-to-late 1970s (when her recording career began to wind down), yet all retain at least a modicum of charm.
For this Definitive volume, Universal Music merely added three recordings to Lynn's twenty-two track All-Time Greatest Hits (2002) cd: ""Blue Kentucky Girl," "You're Looking At Country," and "The Pill." It leaves off such truly definitive recordings as Lynn's first hit "Honky Tonk Girl" (1960, for the Zero label), her first Decca hit "Success" (1962) and her last top-ten hit, "I Lie," as well as such fan favorites as "To Make A Man (Feel Like A Man), "Home," and "Red, White, and Blue" which aren't currently available on cd. Instead, we get five duet chart-toppers with Conway Twitty that were already included on their Definitive set in April. While this is the best single disc Lynn set available, you really need to purchase her box set Honky Tonk Girl (1994) to get a true feel for her greatness.

The perfect Kathy Mattea collection.......2007-04-09
Best compilation yet of Kathy's music.......2007-01-20
Love at the five and dime was the song that provided Kathy with her breakthrough, becoming a top three country hit. It was followed by a series of other country hits including Walk the way the wind blows, Going gone, You're the power, Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses, Where've you been, She came from Fort Worth Texas, Come from the heart, Burning old memories and Time passes by. Kathy's success continued (though not as strongly) into the nineties with excellent songs such as Lonesome standard time, Standing in a river and Walking away a winner. The set is rounded off by 455 Rocket (the most recent recording here, albeit a few years old now) and Mary did you know (from Kathy's first Christmas album, Good news).
This is an outstanding collection of Kathy's music. The American version of the earlier hits collection is still available but this one is much superior.
