Last of the Breed

by
Willie Nelson/Ray Price/Merle Haggard
The title Last of the Breed speaks with a defiance that, for the most part, the music on this album does not, and that's just as it should be -- while Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Ray Price are indeed among the last functioning practitioners of pure, unadulterated Western swing, honky tonk, or countrypolitan blues in the classic manner, on ...

My Life

by
Iris DeMent
Like Infamous Angel, My Life opens on a light note, which is hardly adequate preparation for the emotional turbulence that follows. The album is dedicated to Iris Dement's father, who passed away prior to its release, and although there are some scattered moments of joy here, they are largely absorbed by a collection of songs dealing with primal ...

Whenever a chart-topping artist dies early, it's almost guaranteed that somewhere down the line, a collection of unreleased tracks and/or demos will surface. Case in point: the 2003 Jim Croce release Home Recordings: Americana. Issued just a month past the 30th anniversary of Croce's tragic passing, Home Recordings collects 15 tracks of exactly ...

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, ...

Merle Haggard
In early 2006, roughly in time for the 40th anniversary of Merle Haggard's debut album, Capitol Nashville launched an ambitious Haggard catalog project, reissuing ten albums as a series of five two-fers, each adorned with bonus tracks. All these albums had been reissued before, either stateside by Capitol or Koch or in the U.K. by EMI or BGO, but ...

A solid 23-track compilation of classic traditional Cajun music, The Essential Collection is a fine overview of the first half of Belton Richard's career. Covering material from his early-'60s singles to his 1987 retirement (a break that proved to last less than a decade before he returned to recording and live performance), this non-chronological ...

American Originals

by
Lefty Frizzell
Released in 1990, the Lefty Frizzell installment of American Originals is, like other editions in the series, far too short at only ten songs, and it makes that tight running time by leaving behind such major items as "If You've Got the Money, I've Got the Time." There are some major songs here -- "Saginaw, Michigan," "The Long Black Veil," ...

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 ...

Various Artists
This 18-song set from Time Life has a timeless, unhurried grace about it, and even though it is a compilation of various artists, it has a remarkably unified tone, as artists as diverse as Johnny Cash and Doc Watson tackle classic Southern folk songs with elegant reverence. Among the highlights here are Jerry Garcia and David Grisman's "Shady ...

Vol. 2 of Columbia's lazily constructed Willie Nelson "three-fer" series contains the label's 2003 reissues of To Lefty from Willie, Pancho & Lefty, and Always On My Mind in their entirety. Besides 1977's ode to Lefty Frizzell, it's a weak chunk of the artist's rich and prolific career. All three discs feature the same tracks in the same order ...

Sing Me Back Home follows the blueprint of Merle Haggard's first three albums, balancing a hit single with album tracks and a couple of covers, but there is a difference. Where the previous album Branded Man was a transitional album, hinting that Haggard's talents were deepening substantially, Sing Me Back Home is the result of the flowering of ...

There have been many Lefty Frizzell compilations over the years, most of them excellent, but few surpass Columbia/Legacy's comprehensive, listenable 1997 double-disc set Look What Thoughts Will Do, which covers nearly his entire career, stopping short of his last hits in the mid-'70s.
