The Golden Age Of American Popular Music: The Country Hits

If you already have The Golden Age of American Rock 'n' Roll: Special Country Music Edition, this is a useful sequel, although whereas many of the songs in the other volume were major hits in the American pop charts, very few of the tracks here were more than minor pop hits, even though they were huge country hits. Don't worry (Marty Robbins) was a huge American pop hit, peaking at #3, but only one of the others made the top 10.Perhaps more interesting than how they performed at the time is how well some of these songs have stood the test of time. I can't stop loving you (Don Gibson) became an international pop hit for Ray Charles Don't take your guns to town (Johnny Cash) remains popular in its original form as his legend is as strong as it has ever been. She's got you (Patsy Cline) is one of her most popular song and her legendary status was secured long ago.This is a fine collection in its own way, but only really makes sense as a companion to The Golden Age of American Rock 'n' Roll: Special Country Music Edition.

Enjoyed this music , you all.

good sound

very good

I love it

If you own the Special Edition on C&W of the Golden Age of AmericanRock & Roll series, this is a perfect follow-up release. Full withTop 10 Hits( 11 # 1 hits ) and some real highlights like Blue Boy byJim Reeves, The Comancheros by Claude King, Shame On Me by Bobby Bareand a #2 I'd never heard before called Three Hearts In A Tangle by RoyDrusky a real beautiful song. As always with ACE a complete 24 pagebooklet with the story behind each song. I normally give the ACE CD'sfive stars but for the first time I have a slight complaint about thenormally best feature they offer: the recording quality. This timesome songs seem to have been remastered at a very high level whichforces you to constantly adjusting the volume to avoid disturbances.Overall, though, a must for anyone who likes the real 60's country sound.
