The Very Best of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches & Highways

by
Emmylou Harris
Emmylou Harris is an artist whose body of work is so consistently strong one could almost pull 20 songs at random from her catalog, string them together, and end up with a pretty listenable disc -- which suggests that the real choices in putting together a "best of Emmylou" album has as much to do with what not to include as what should be on hand ...

Conway Twitty/Loretta Lynn
Containing a generous 24 tracks and spanning 17 years, from their first duet in 1971 to their final one in 1988, Mercury Nashville's 2005 compilation The Definitive Collection does indeed come close to being the final word on Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn's classic duets. Not only does this contain all of their big hits -- "After the Fire Is Gone," ...

Emmylou Harris
Luxury Liner, the third album from Emmylou Harris, is another watermark. Taking the country-rock paradigm created by her former singing partner Gram Parsons with the Flying Burrito Brothers, Harris and her Hot Band made good on the promise that traditional country music could sidle alongside modern rock in the 1970s and make something timeless and ...

Anthology: The Warner/Reprise Years
(2001)
more music like this
by
Emmylou Harris
Rhino's double-disc Anthology concentrates on Emmylou Harris' Reprise recordings, which is a blessing. Once she left Reprise, she started to delve into "experimental," "atmospheric" recordings a bit too heavily, certainly more than her prior recordings would justify, and it almost obscured her purest talents -- that of a singer that carried on the ...

Merle Haggard
Following in the marketing footsteps of Columbia/Legacy's 2000 thematic Johnny Cash releases (Murder, Love, God), Capitol Records gave Merle Haggard's back catalog a similar treatment in 2001 with four separate installments: Hurtin', Drinkin', Prison, and Cheatin'. While it's impossible to narrow Haggard's Hurtin' songs down to ten, the compilers ...

by
Roy Clark
Like all of the entries in the Live at Billy Bob's Texas series, this does not divulge the date of recording, but one can reasonably assume it's from a show not long before the CD's mid-2000 release. Clark is still an excellent, fast-as-anyone guitar picker, as heard on this set's instrumentals. Those instrumentals cover a lot of ground, too: the ...

Wanda Jackson [Bonus Tracks]

by
Wanda Jackson
Like many other young recording artists of the late 1950s, especially those on major labels, Wanda Jackson was encouraged to straddle musical genres as a hedge against changing trends. She was an accomplished rockabilly singer, but Capitol Records must have worried about how long rockabilly was going to stay popular, so Wanda Jackson has the ...

This 20-track anthology of Wanda Jackson's early work is roughly equal to Rhino's Rockin' in the Country in value. Rockin' in the Country offers a considerably wider range, chronologically speaking. Vintage Collections Series, on the other hand, focuses on 1956-1961 recordings, affording greater depth for what is acknowledged as her most fertile ...

One Way reissued two of Duane Eddy's RCA albums, Twangin' the Golden Hits and Twang a Country Song, on one CD in 1998.

The rest of the album is Eddy ...

Social Distortion finally achieves the perfect balance between their two major influences, the country anguish of Johnny Cash and the furious punk rock sound of early Clash, on their 1992 album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, making it the band's finest hour.

MGM's biggest pop hitmaker, Connie Francis, traveled to Nashville to make an album of duets with the teenaged son of MGM's biggest country hitmaker. Though the result was not a memorable work by either one, it demonstrated Francis's versatility and Williams's promise.

Mason Daring, who has written musical scores for the lion's share of John Sayles' movies, rose to the occasion once again for Sayles' 13th directorial effort, Sunshine State, and this disc combines excerpts from Daring's moody score with a handful of tunes from outside sources. Much of Daring's pieces here are pleasing but understated, and while ...
