Various Artists- Best Of Country / Various - 180gm Vinyl

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. The songs that grace this comprehensive double vinyl package all come from the golden age of country music. For nearly a century now, country music has been captured on cylinder, vinyl, tape and compact disc. In America during the 1950s, while rock & roll battled calypso as the nation's favourite sound, meanwhile in the background, these classic country songs could be heard across the land - all the way from the Gulf of Mexico, right up to the frozen wastes of Minnesota. After the golden age of what might be called pure country, came country-rock, alt-country and Americana. But the century of songs gathered together here is plain and simple country music - at it's bestTrack List Crazy - Patsy Cline Behind Closed Doors - Charlie Rich Sea of Heartbreak - Don Gibson Walk on By - Leroy Van Dyke Big Bad John - Jimmy Dean I'm a Honky Tonk Girl - Loretta Lynn Rawhide - Frankie Laine Funny How Time Slips Away - Willie Nelson Welcome to My World - Ji
