Two albums I had on vinyl and loved and I am happy to have them on CD. The Aces I geuss would be considered country/rock but they have elements of all different types of music. GreatFree Music Review: Amazing Amazing Rhythm Aces

Hit: 5 Stars
This Memphis band broke the top-20 with their debut album's 1975 hit single "Third Rate Romance," which forever defined them through endless oldies anthologies and radio play. And as a calling card for a pop one-hit wonder it's actually surprisingly representative of the tuneful country-rock that was the band's stock-in-trade. Country fans gained a deeper helping of the band's hits, with "Amazing Grace (Use to Be Her Favorite Song)" and "The End is Not in Sight (The Cowboy Tune)" each charting, and the latter catching a Grammy(tm).
Fleshed out beyond the hits, this 2-LPs-on-1-CD release demonstrates convincingly that the Aces were much more than a Southern-fried version of The Eagles. They treaded some similar ground, but the Aces were more deeply immersed in the music of their native Memphis, with blues, soul, funk and gospel flavors rounding out their country and rock base. The debut LP, "Stacked Deck," is one of the 1970s lost classics, featuring stellar original songwriting, a fine R&B cover of Charlie Rich's "Who Will the Next Fool Be?," finely tuned vocals and harmonies, strong instrumental picking, and an organic blend of the band's influences that is truly inspirational.
The band's second LP, 1976's "Too Stuffed to Jump," followed the debut's musical formula, which may make it slightly less original, but doesn't detract from the fine songs and performances. The band continued to rely on the diversity of their southern roots, from funky blues-rockers like "Typical American Boy," "I'll Be Gone" and "Fool for the Woman," to country tunes like "The End is Not in Sight (The Cowboy Tune)," "These Dreams of Losing You" and "Out of the Snow."
Collectors' Choice two-fer has no liner notes (or songwriting or production credits), and the original album art is reproduced microscopically small, but the 22-track/74-minute running time is generous, and the remastering to digital is crisp and clear. An essential shelfmate for Linda Ronstadt's Capitol albums and The Eagles early works.[©2006 hyperbolium dot com]

One of the great lost bands of the 70's. Stacked Deck is as close to a perfect lp as you can get.
