 (5 Customer Reviews)
Don Williams's mellow, amiable baritone and easygoing approach made him one of the biggest country stars of the 1970s. With simple arrangements, straightforward songs, and an emotionally honest but endearingly laconic delivery, Williams had an instantly appealing signature sound. He rarely strayed far from that template, but there was little reason to, especially with the outpouring of hits he scored throughout the '70s. A hefty helping of those hits is presented here, from the aging-singer meditation "Amanda" to the funky "Tulsa Time" (later covered by Williams acolyte Eric Clapton).
Though Williams generally keeps things slow and easy (it wouldn't be unfair to call him the Bing Crosby of country music), there are infectious rhythmic undercurrents throughout (an R&B lope here, a Waylon Jennings beat there), and no matter how mellow he gets, he's never lugubrious. While one could quibble over some of the omissions (the sharp murder ballad "Miller's Cave," the perky "Big Ole Brew," memorably sung by Bill Murray in STRIPES), THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION is pretty much what its title promises.
25 Tracks. Repl.#5944 Mca - "20 Gh".

Randy Travis emerged in the 1980s at the forefront of country's New Traditionalist movement, with a sound that recalled classic country balladeers George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Lefty Frizzell. His pure, honest approach to heart-wrenching saloon songs resonated with country audiences in a major way, making him a star. This 20-song collection is a single-disc distillation of Travis's long, fruitful career, and is the perfect place to start exploring his work.
While there are some up-tempo honky-tonk numbers here, it's the slow-burn ballad that is Travis's stock in trade, and there's no shortage of those. From the tormented would-be philanderer of "On the Other Hand" (his first big hit) ...

Definitive Collection CD music
$10.15
The Femursare a rudimentary group who often keep things to a minimum. And unlike other tandems who can dish out big beefy sounds à la White Stripes, this group has much more in common with high-octane, highbrow pop bands like the Housemartins, as is the case during the pleasing "Vitamins" and the finer, frantic "Round and Round." Not quite as quirky lyrically as groups such as They Might Be Giants or Barenaked Ladies, the Femurs offer up strong, catchy songs throughout with the appealing "Girl for Everyone." The first true highlight is the lovely "Crazy Girl" that is teeming with toe-tapping, head-bobbing hooks. But this is quickly followed up with another nugget titled "Not Giving Up" that brings to mind an early album from Bishop Allen. The duo's gorgeous harmonies are another asset on the record (which is culled from two different EPs). And repeated listens are almost required of the delectable "Allison." ...
