| | Tracy Byrd Definitive Collection CD Tracy Byrd Discography of CDs
(2 Customer Reviews)
Superseding all of Tracy Byrd's previous best-of compilations, the expansive 18-track THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION lives up to its title. As part of the second generation of new traditionalist country stars who learned at the feet of George Strait and Randy Travis, Byrd has always struck a balance between blue-collar good-time party boy and ballad crooner. The two sides are nicely represented here by, among other tracks, the rowdy "Lifestyles of the Not So Rich and Famous" on the one hand, and the weeper "Don't Take Her, She's All I've Got" on the other.

| | Very Best Of Randy Travis CD (2004)
Definitive Collection
$11.49 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) to the jilted lover of the heartbroken lament "It's Just a Matter of Time," Travis inhabits every song completely, with a voice deeper than anything this side of Tennessee Ernie Ford and full of unadorned emotion. The fact that ...

| | Very Best Of Tracy Lawrence CD (2007)
Definitive Collection
$11.05 Starting with 1991's STICKS AND STONES, Texan Tracy Lawrence has taken up the mantle of honky tonk for a new generation of country artists. As Nashville has moved further towards pop and rock influences, Lawrence's fierce traditionalism has caused him to be squeezed out of the picture a bit; Lawrence has been without a major label contract since 2004. Rhino's ...

| | Conway Twitty Looking Back: The Very Best Of The MGM Years CDs (2002) Import
Definitive Collection
$16.85 For those who lack the cash or incentive to invest in Bear Family's mammoth eight-CD Rock 'N' Roll Years box set, this two-CD, 40-song overview of Conway Twitty's 1958-1963 MGM sides is a fine summary of his early career. Nearly all his Top Hundred chart hits are here, as are numerous flops, B-sides, and LP tracks. It's true that these were the most rock-oriented years of Twitty's long career, and also that many of these sides are derivative of early Elvis Presley. But it can also be said that of the singers who owed much to Elvis, Twitty was one of the best -- not just on hits like "It's Only Make Believe," "Lonely Blue Boy," and "Danny Boy," but also lesser-known items like the growling rockabilly-pop of "Make Me Know You're Mine" and "Trouble in Mind," the "Mystery Train" imitation "The Long Black Train," and the ballad "Heavenly." Twitty was also one of the few sub-Elvis singers ...
