by
Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson recorded for many labels during the course of his lengthy career, but his greatest commercial success arrived during his time on Columbia during the late '70s and early '80s, which is one of the reasons that the career-spanning double-disc collection The Essential Willie Nelson appeared on Columbia/Legacy in 2003. The other reason, ...

In between those two tracks are 34 songs, most of them indeed living up to "classic" status. While this doesn't necessarily make for the most consistent ...

If I Never Stop Loving You
(1998)
more music like this
by
David Kersh
This album is pretty much an also-ran, settling on competence in spite of numerous up-and-coming talents looking to steal guys like David Kersh's thunder. Kersh works up a bit of steam on a few cuts, most notably "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out" and "Hello Walls," but the vast majority of If I Never Stop Loving You is well-covered ground at a time ...

The Best of Faron Young [Aim]

by
Faron Young
While this budget double-disc of hits is fine and has many of Faron Young's hit singles, it's far less definitive than Capitol's double-disc set The Complete Capitol Hits of Faron Young, or the Country Music Foundations' Live Fast, Love Hard: Original Capitol Recordings, 1952-1962. The AIM marketing recordings also fare less well in sound quality ...

Faron Young
Curb's All-Time Greatest Hits is a nice, but too brief, collection of Faron Young's biggest hits: "Hello Walls," "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young," "Alone with You," "Sweet Dreams," and "Goin' Steady." It's hardly a definitive collection -- classic early hits like "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')," "I've Got Five Dollars," and "All Right" ...

Willie Nelson
Recorded live at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe at the height of Willie madness in 1978, the double-CD remaster of Willie and Family Live makes an already long set even longer by the addition of two bonus tracks. Fortunately, those cuts added to the end of disc two are from the same show and include a soul-bearing alternate version of Rodney Corwell's ...

The Golden Age of American Rock 'N' Roll: Special Country Edition

by
Various Artists
As the fine series The Golden Age of American Rock 'N' Roll focused on rock & roll hits of all kinds from the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s, the title of this offshoot might be confusing. How can you have a country edition of a rock & roll anthology series? It might be better to think of this as a compilation of 30 country hits from 1956 to 1965 that ...

Although former child R&B star Esther Phillips really hit her mature peak in the '60s, commercially she had a hard time finding a niche. "Release Me," her uptown R&B version of a country song, made the pop Top Ten in 1962. But she only dented the charts occasionally over the course of the next decade, despite recording frequently in a number of ...
