All-Time Greatest Hits

by
Marty Robbins
Released in 1972, the double-album/single-CD All-Time Greatest Hits remains one of the best compilations ever assembled on Marty Robbins. Featuring 20 tracks -- including most of his big hits -- there are very few essential tracks missing from the collection. As an introduction, this relatively concise compilation is a bit more manageable than the ...

No. 1 Cowboy
(1980)
more music like this
by
Marty Robbins
Obviously, the main focus of No. 1 Cowboy is Marty Robbins' classic gunfighter ballads and cowboy-themed songs from the '60s and '70s. Originally recorded for Columbia, these 20 tracks have a quality that can't be denied: "Red River Valley," "Streets of Laredo," "Ballad of the Alamo," and, of course, "El Paso" and "El Paso City." This release from ...

by
The Sons of the Pioneers
The title and cover art of the 1959 Cool Water LP were re-used for this very unfortunate CD reissue, on which only half of the original's songs were included, without any notes -- the compact disc was something of an insult to the intelligence of the modern listener, and doubly so when one considers that the complete LP made it on to CD (with ...

The Horse Whisperer [Original Soundtrack]
(1998)

by
Original Soundtrack
The soundtrack to Robert Redford's sweeping rural romance The Horse Whisperer is an excellent collection of contemporary country. The album favors alt-country singer/songwriters like Gillian Welch, Don Edwards, Steve Earle, Iris DeMent, Allison Moorer, Emmylou Harris, and Lucinda Williams, but in this context, it becomes clear that such mainstream ...

Pops Roundup

by
Arthur Fiedler & the Boston Pops
Pops Roundup presents a Walt Disney view of the west in which soaring strings and horns evoke images from western movies rather than the actual west. The dynamic music features all-new arrangements of classic western songs as well as themes from television, films, and Broadway shows. Woodblocks create the clippity-clop of horses' hooves, and other ...

Listening to the soundtrack to director Robert Altman's big screen adaptation of Garrison Keillor's near-mythical radio show is a lot like listening to Garrison Keillor's near-mythical radio show.

Grande Ole Opry: Marty Robbins

by
Marty Robbins
Marty Robbins was the last performer to play in the Grande Ole Opry's famous historic Ryman Auditorium when he appeared there in March of 1974 (conversely, a week later he was the first performer to play the new Opry), and while it would be presumptuous to place too much significance on that appearance, it is fitting that Robbins, of all of ...

It Came from Pier 13!

by
The Bomboras
At 14 tracks in just under 27 minutes, the Bomboras' It Came from Pier 13! is the perfect length for an all-instrumental surf album, avoiding the often tiresome repetitive padding that plagues many similar records. The Bomboras understand that brevity is the soul of surf, and each of these songs is only long enough to introduce a cool, reverb ...

American Roots: A History of American Folk Music
(2000)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Dutch discount reissue label Disky's four-CD box set American Roots: A History of American Folk Music is an ambitious undertaking, at least as far as sheer length is concerned. In other respects, it can be considered skimpy: the packaging is negligible; there are no annotations beyond song titles, artist and songwriter credits, and copyright dates ...

Under Western Skies

by
Marty Robbins
Four CDs covering Marty Robbins' complete Western recordings, 99 songs in all from 1958 until 1979. As a concept, Under Western Skies is cohesive and enjoyable, largely because Robbins' music, regardless of the particular year in which it was recorded, is unified thematically. It's also a superb showcase for Robbins' voice, one of the most ...

A Blue Note album finally reissued on CD in early 2004, Grant Green's Goin' West -- like Feelin' the Spirit -- includes Herbie Hancock on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. Includes tunes like (can you believe?) "On Top of Old Smokey" and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds." Only Green could carry this off, but he is the man when it ...

Cassandra Wilson
Cassandra Wilson's swinging for her own creative fences this time. The sultry, gentle, acoustic guitars on her last five recordings have been largely jettisoned for a more keyboard-and percussion -friendly approach -- which includes lots of programming and loops. To that end, she's enlisted flavor-of-the-year producer T-Bone Burnett and ...

Gene Autry
This would be a perfect Autry collection but for the fact that it has only 18 songs, when there was room for about 25, and the producers evidently think that "South of the Border" and "Blueberry Hill" aren't "essential." But you do get "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "The Last Round-up," "Take Me Back To My Boots and Saddle," "The Call of the Canyon," ...

Connie Francis
Folk songs provided an easy album formula in the '60s with the popularity of commercial folk music, and everyone from Kate Smith to Chubby Checker cut ersatz folk albums -- all it took was a vocalist and a platter's worth of folk or folk-like songs arranged for maximum pop appeal. Connie Francis was one of the most versatile pop singers of her ...

During World War II, the Andrews Sisters were famous for patriotic pop.

But they were responsible for some of the most famous (and cutest) patriotic hits of their ...

Two of Roy Acuff's 1963 albums, Sings American Folk Songs and Hand-Clapping Gospel Songs, are combined onto one disc on this CD reissue. Sings American Folk Songs was the third album that he recorded in the early '60s for his own Hickory label, and might be less essential than some of his other work from the era, simply because most of the songs ...
