The Best !!!!.......2002-08-23

Dick Curless has got the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. His music ranges from thought provoking, to toe tapping, beer drinking music. One of his best renditions is Winter's Coming On Again. People who appreciate good music from any genre will love this CD. I can not recommend it highly enough.

Most of Dick Curless is unavailable on cd unless you purchase either Dick Curless's last offering "Traveling Through" or his greatest hits package "Drag em Off the Interstate....". All else is available only from Bear Family Records in two monster sized box sets "A Tombstone Every Mile"(begining @ 1950 thru 1970 on 7cds!)and this one here, "Hard Hard Traveling Man"(frm 1971 thru 1973,1988 on 4cds).
This box set begins where "A Tombstone Every Mile" leaves off, at the height of his more mainstream truck driving anthems. This is the Dick Curless I'm most familiar with...straight ahead, no-nonsense Hard Country. His voice resonates a deep down baritone, equally adept at singing gospell or blues...and all infused with the healthy swagger of a man who knows he can sing with the best of 'em.
The first 2 cd's of this box are his output from several albums begining in 1971 thru 1973. The third cd is a rare live recording from a Truckers Jamboree (cica 1973).
Most noteworthy is the fourth cd, where Curless recorded a special set of his favorites for his close family members. This is a bare bones "act-of-love" that is as amazing as it is itimate. Never does Curless sound better, just his melodic baritone and crisp guitar, unadorned. This family session was recorded around 1988, a mere 7 years before his death. It's amazing to take this into account, and then listen to his swansong "Traveling Through", recorded 5 months before he succumbed to cancer in '95...never does he compromise his style and class. Always the gentleman and first class performer.

Customer Reviews:

Fantastic!!.......2001-09-28

Thank you Amazon..My husband & I have been searching for any Dick Curless songs and have been unsuccessful until now. We first met Dick in the 60's when he toured upstate NY. He was a warm & caring man who loved his music and passed the feeling on to his audience. Another reviewer said she felt "goosebumps" when she heard his music again on the CD's, and I agree. The music world lost a great entertainer when Dick passed away, he sadly never achieved the star billing that he so greatly deserved.The way range of his voice was unreal The set of CD's was purchased as a surprise Christmas gift for my husband, but I couldn't wait that long to hear it. Beautiful music & memories! We have nearly all of his original singles and albums but nothing can compare to this. Anyone hearing him for the first time will want to hear more.!!
