The ten-track All American Country collection covers Connie Smith's most commercially productive period from the early to mid-'60s, including "The Hurtin's All Over," "My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own," "Paper Roses," and her first number one single, "Once a Day," as well as a few lesser-known singles. While this is an affordable disc, too many hits are left off for this package to be worth picking up. The Essential Connie Smith on RCA is still the definitive buy. ~ Al Campbell

All American Country
 $10.59 
Tony Orlando's early years as a teen idol may have yielded only a handful of minor hits, but his later fame with Dawn guaranteed that they would eventually be resurrected. "Bless You" was the biggest of Orlando's early charters, inching into the Top 15 in 1961. That song, as well as his other Epic recordings from 1961-1963, exemplify the teen pop style of the era with sparkling arrangements of pizzicato strings, a sweet vocal chorus, and other sugary treats for the ear. On "Lonely Am I," even words of loneliness seem heavenly when crooned to the angelic tones of a harp. Orlando placed seven of his Epic singles in Billboard's Top 135, and all but one are anthologized on Bless You and Seventeen Other Great Hits. British rocker Billy ...
| | Wanda Jackson Queen Of Rockabilly CDs (2000) (Import) United Kingdom
All American Country
$16.95   
Recorded between 1956 and 1963. Includes liner notes by Rob Finnis.
Digitally remastered by Duncan Cowell (Sound Mastering Limited).
Ace Records' Queen of Rockabilly is such a good idea for a Wanda Jackson collection that it's astonishing that it didn't get put together and released until 2000 -- or that Bear Family Records, which is no slouch when it comes to distilling down certain aspects and angles of American country and rock & roll stars, didn't do it first. It should have been out a lot earlier, in the 1970s -- that would have saved hundreds of listeners (maybe thousands, around the world) having to buy, borrow, or steal her old LPs and singles, so we could isolate and distill down her rockabilly and rock & roll tracks onto open-reel tape or audio cassette. Compiler/annotator Rob Finnis allows the songs to jump across seven years, back and forth, pulling together the strands and threads of this side of Jackson's work into a killer collection of 30 songs, clocking in at less than 70 minutes. And running through ...

All American Country
$16.95
With all of the important hits that B.J. Thomas cut for the Scepter label in the 1960s and 1970s (as well as some non-hits), as well as some mid-'60s sides issued on the Pacemaker and Bragg labels, this 25-track disc is the best single-CD compilation of the singer's work. True, it's missing his two big mid-'70s post-Scepter ...

$48.59 | | Mickey Gilley Too Good To Stop: Greatest Hits 1974-1985 CD (2007) Import
All American Country
$23.29
Although he chalked up 16 number one singles in his career, including six in a row in the late '70s following his appearance in the film URBAN COWBOY, Mickey Gilley still remains the second most famous musician in his family, the top honor belonging to his cousin Jerry Lee Lewis. That heartbreak alone could provide enough material for a career of great honky tonk, and while his cousin had the rock-&-roll chops, Gilley had it all over the Killer when it came to tears in beers.
TOO GOOD TO STOP collects twenty-six tracks of Gilley's finest on one disc, making it the most comprehensive Gilley best-of available. The set includes a number of Gilley's early '70s gems such as "Overnight Sensation" and "Honky Tonk Memories." His ease with soul music is well represented here by his takes on Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home To Me" and the Miracles "You Really Got a Hold On Me," among others. The disc's one glaring omission: "The Power of Positive Drinkin'," a barrelhouse corker included on the earlier TEN YEARS OF HITS. That misstep aside, TOO GOOD TO STOP, is simply too good to pass up.
For the first time on one definitive CD, Too Good To Stop: Greatest Hits 1974-1985 combines every major hit by the legendary MICKEY GILLEY. Gilley began his extraordinary career in the 1950s when, like his cousin Jerry Lee Lewis, he was playing a mix of country, pop, gospel and R&B but it wasn't until the 1970s that he became a country music superstar. Closely aligned with the 'Urban Cowboy' phenomenon, between 1974 and 1985 Gilley racked up 17 US Country #1s, plus a further nine US Country Top 10 hits: all ...
