| | Loretta Lynn Definitive Collection CD Loretta Lynn Discography of CDs
If you've never heard Loretta Lynn, you are missing out on one of the finest singers and songwriters the genre has ever known. If that's the case, THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION is the ideal place to start. Even if you have Lynn's tough-minded, irresistibly catchy tunes and her distinctive, textured-but-sweet-as-honey voice represented by a few assorted albums, it is hard to better this perfectly selected and sequenced 25-track compilation. In fact, with its generous playing time, impeccable sound, and beautiful accompanying booklet packed with notes, THE DEFINITIVE is, quite literally, just that.
1964's "Wine, Women, and Song" leads off the set, one of a series of Lynn's justly famous "ain't-gonna-take-it" songs. Following the floozy-bashing anthem "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man), come a seemingly endless stream of number one hits, including "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (with Lovin' on Your Mind," "Fist City" (arguably the greatest tough guy song ever sung by a woman), and "One's on the Way," one of several duets with Conway Twitty. Lynn's witty, progressive take on social issues ("The Pill") and her nakedly autobiographical writing ("Coal Miner's Daughter") are also here; but every track sparkles. This is an indispensable cornerstone of any country music collection.

Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color.

| | Skeeter Davis Blueberry Hill/End Of The World CD (2004)
Definitive Collection music CDs
$9.55
2 LPs on 1 CD. BLUEBERRY HILL (1965)/THE END OF THE WORLD (1973).
In 2004 Collectables combined Skeeter Davis' 1965 album Blueberry Hill and her 1973 album The End of the World on one disc. Blueberry Hill finds Davis firmly in country-pop territory. Her strong vocals are surrounded by strings and syrupy arrangements and many of the songs are simple and corny ("The Little Music Box," "Lost to a Geisha Girl"). Davis sounds fully invested in the songs, though, and her aching sound manages to overcome the less than invigorating surroundings. The best songs are those that she wrote or co-wrote herself. "Somebody Else on Your Mind," "Homebreaker," and the bleak "Give Me Death" are the least over-produced and therefore most honest sounding tracks here, and unsurprisingly perhaps ...
