Customer Review: All your favourites plus some great lesser known songs
This Columbia 2 disc CD contains most of the all time great Country numbers, plus some that you may not have heard too often, but which you might just learn to love.
The all time greats include “Stand by your man” by Tammy Wynette, “I recall a gypsy woman” by Don Williams, “Ring of fire” by Johnny Cash, “El Paso” by Marty Robbins, and “Talking in your sleep” by Crystal Gayle, plus Charlie Pride, Charlie Rich and Billy Jo Spears, etc., etc.
New to me were “Before the next teardrop falls” by Freddy Fender, song partly in Spanish, and “Poor boy blues” by Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler.
There are so many good songs (40!)on this album that it is hard to pick a favourite, but I’ll go for “He stopped loving her today” by George Jones. Not a happy song, like many country songs, but beautifully sung by a great artist.
