16 Biggest Hits
(1998)
more music like this
by
Willie Nelson
Not all of Willie Nelson's hits are on 16 Biggest Hits -- after all, it only features recordings he made for Columbia and skips over any hit duet he's had -- but it never was intended to be a definitive compilation. Instead, it's a worthy summation of his biggest hits of the late '70s and '80s, from 1975's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" to 1989's ...

The Very Best of Willie Nelson
(1999)
more music like this
by
Willie Nelson
Spanning two discs and 30 songs, The Very Best of Willie Nelson isn't as sublime as Greatest Hits (& Some That Will Be), which came close to capturing the essence of Willie Nelson's Columbia recordings in 20 tracks. The Very Best covers more ground and, technically, it has more charting hits, but it isn't as far-reaching and diverse as Greatest ...

The Sound in Your Mind
(1976)
more music like this
by
Willie Nelson
Red Headed Stranger propelled Willie Nelson to stardom, finally giving him a smash hit, yet its spare arrangements and hushed intimacy were a bit of an anomaly, both in his prior work and the albums that followed on Columbia. His second LP for the label, 1976's The Sound in Your Mind, opened up the sound of Stranger, retaining some of the low-key ...

Lefty's 20 Golden Hits [Tee Vee]

by
Lefty Frizzell
A curious collection of Lefty from his early Columbia period all the way into later Nashville recordings, literally swamped in Nashville production. On the early honky tonkers like "Give Me More, More, More of Your Kisses," "How Long Will It Take to Stop Loving You," "Look What Thoughts Will Do," and "Don't Stay Away," his message comes through ...

Jo Stafford
Not long after Jo Stafford's arranger (and future husband) Paul Weston moved from Capitol to Columbia in 1950, she followed him, preferring to work with an understanding producer (surely their budding relationship played a part as well). During the first half of the '50s, Stafford continued gracing the Hit Parade with the same balance of sedate, ...

Lefty Frizzell
As with most country music greats, there is no shortage of Lefty Frizzell anthologies, so the arrival of something as bland-sounding as 16 Biggest Hits, especially in light of Columbia/Legacy's excellent 34-track Look What Thoughts Will Do collection, does little to prick up the ears of longtime fans. Most of the classics are here -- "Saginaw, ...

Boots Randolph's Yakety Sax!

Boots Randolph
Boots Randolph's signature tune, "Yakety Sax," was inspired by the sax solo in the Coasters' "Yakety Yak," and is much better known than its modest chart placement might suggest. Randolph had recorded "Yakety Sax" for RCA several years earlier without success, but his Monument recording clicked in 1963 and the accompanying gold-selling album spent ...

Sony Music Special Products' Yours Always collects ten highlights from Willie Nelson's extensive work for Columbia Records. Although there are several hits here -- "Always on My Mind," "If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time," "City of New Orleans" -- they're outweighed by a number of album tracks. This approach is commonplace in budget-line ...

Wayne Raney's considerable legacy hadn't been well served by the CD era at the time of this 2002 release. This 25-track anthology is a good if imperfect start to correcting that imbalance. It's imperfect because it doesn't by any means have every significant King side waxed by this important country-boogie singer and harmonica player. In fact, it ...
