Classic Country Gold

Enjoy the old country music!

I was searching on Amazon for karaoke discs, and this disc was in that section so I ordered it thinking it was karaoke. It definitely was not. I am so disappointed.

My dad just said the first CD was more to his liking.

If you enjoy classic CW, this is a great CD to add to your collection. It has cuts on it that I haven't heard in years. Buy and enjoy!!

Mainstream, popular Country music is what you get on this double CD album. From the dawn of the 1950s, when commercial recording interests took a firm hold on this particular strand of America's musical tradition, to the end of the 1980s, when other styles started to squeeze Country out of the charts.In the late 60s and early 70s, it was widely acknowledged that the two gods of Country were Johnny Cash and Jim Reeves (selling better than ever after his untimely death). So it is strange that Reeves's star has waned so quickly, and he is excluded from a compilation like this. That would have been unthinkable thirty years ago; now it is unremarkable.On the other hand, Jerry Lee Lewis definitely does not belong here. When Tennessee Ernie Ford says "If you see me coming, better stand aside. A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died", you don't really take him seriously. When Lewis introduces himself as "The Killer", you get the uneasy feeling he really means it. His music is on the fringes of country and his attitude is on the edge of sanity.Still, this is a good, representative collection and is available at bargain prices, so has to be recommended. I always take it when I drive through the Mojave or the Sierras. For me, this is music for the open road.

The Country CD I got has good old country music I like.

This CD set was the perfect gift for someone that likes that type of country music. The person I gave the CD set to is still smiling every time a CD is played! Thank you!!!

Great music. Much easier to listen to than the stuff being put out today. Real classics. I can recognize most of the voices! on another note, Alan Jackson is great!

Just what I like original stars and music from years past. A good buy

I had never made a purchase off Amazon before. A friend told me about this CD and no matter how hard I tried I could not find it in my city. I could think of no where else to go so I tried Amazon. I am completely impressed. They had it in stock. I got exactly the CD I wanted but equally important is the quality of Amazon service. It was outstanding. The price was good and the item was delivered in perfect condition and on the date that it was promised. Amazon couldn't have done anything better. I will definately look to them the next time I am looking for something, especially if I can't find it anywhere else.

I love all of the songs on this 2 cd collection. If you like the older country stars you will enjoy this cd, if not well...

Good music

Great collection of songs
