The Nashville Sound of Success 1958-62







Rating: 5/5

Review:
A fantastic compilation




This is a fantastically enjoyable compilation – and for some of us who are Of A Certain Age it's incredibly evocative, too.

Frankly, it scarcely needs a review from me; a glance at the tracklist will tell you most of what you need to know.  This is a collection of 45 really great songs from Nashville either side of 1960, including incredibly well-known stuff from the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, The Everlys, Johnny Horton and many others, plus some less well-remembered gems like Calude King's Wolverton Mountain.  And anyway, any collection which includes Big Bad John is just fine with me.

Seriously, this is great stuff.  The sound quality is excellent and it's terrific value.  If you have any interest in Country and Country-ish music of this period, don't hesitate.  Very warmly recommended.
