18 Greatest Hits album
 $8.99    
Born in Nova Scotia, Canada, singer/songwriter Hank Snow became an icon of country music during the 1950s and '60s. Following in the footsteps of the legendary Jimmie Rodgers, Snow penned his own tales of love and travel (often a love of travel), most notably the timeless songs of wanderlust "I'm Movin' On" and "I've Been Everywhere," both later performed by his ardent admirer Johnny Cash.
This excellent 20-track collection presents many more of Snow's greatest moments, including the heartsick lament "(Now and Then, There's) A Fool Such as I," which was famously covered by Elvis Presley. (Snow was an early champion of Elvis, and tried to steer him in a more country-oriented direction.) The set also calls attention to Snow's wonderful sense of humor, as best evidenced on the old-fashioned "Music Makin' Mama from Memphis" and the lighthearted "The Gal Who Invented Kissin'." Every fan of vintage country should own at least one Hank Snow disc, and this is one of the finest collections ...

| | 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best Of Burl Ives CD (2001)
18 Greatest Hits music CDs
$7.95
Recorded between 1945 and 1964. Includes liner notes by Joseph Laredo.
Digitally remastered by Doug Schwartz (Audio Mechanics, Los Angeles, California).
MCA/Decca's full-priced 18-track Burl Ives collection Greatest Hits, released in 1996, was still in print when the label issued this 12-track budget set five years later, so it's worth comparing the two. The less-expensive album actually contains a couple of big hits -- Ives' Top 40 pop/Top Ten country cover of Hank Thompson's "Wild Side of Life" from 1952 and the 1962 single "Mary Ann Regrets," which went Top 40 pop and Top 20 country and easy listening -- not featured on the more expensive one. In fact, there is an overlap of only seven tracks between the two albums. On the whole, Greatest Hits is the preferable compilation, boasting roughly chronological sequencing and including some minor chart entries not featured on the new album, as well as licensing the Top Ten pop hit "On Top of Old Smoky" from Columbia Records. But 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection: The Best of Burl Ives (despite the hopelessly ungainly title) really covers the essentials, from the early signature songs like "Big Rock Candy Mountain" and "Foggy, Foggy Dew" to the early-'60s country hits like "A Little Bitty Tear" and "Funny Way of Laughin'." Ives recorded prolifically for Decca Records in the '40s, '50s, and '60s, and compilations of his occasional fluke hits over the years aren't really representative of his overall output. (For one thing, they make him seem like more of a ...

| | Best Of Stonewall Jackson CD (2002)
18 Greatest Hits CD music
$14.29
Stonewall Jackson is a neglected figure in country music. Perhaps it was his name, which gave the impression that he was a singer with a corny stage name, when it was in fact his birth name, given to him by a father who believed he was a descendent of General Stonewall Jackson and died three weeks before his son's birth. Perhaps it's because his breakthrough single, 1959's "Waterloo," a record that superficially seemed to be a historical number like "Battle of New Orleans" but was actually a clever folk-country tune co-written by Marijohn Wilkin and John D. Loudermilk. Perhaps it was because that even when he had a bit of a revival when Dwight Yoakam covered "Smoke Along the Track" in the '80s, there was no accompanying CD reissue of Stonewall's best work to help restore his reputation. These kind of contradictions camouflaged his excellent traditionalist country that nimbly touched on folky storytelling, barroom ballads, railroad songs, jailhouse tunes, novelties, and honky tonk, encapsulating everything that was pure mainstream country during the '60s. He wasn't as hardcore as his honky tonk contemporaries, which may be one of the reasons he was overlooked, but as Collectors Choice's splendid 2002 compilation The Best of Stonewall Jackson illustrates, he had a sturdy, enjoyable body of work that holds its own among the best country of the '60s. Yes, sometimes it gets a little silly, whether it's in production flourishes or in songs like the anti-protest "The Minute Men (Are Turning in Their Graves)," but these are the ...
