Free Music Notes for The Golden Age of American Popular Music: The Country Hits
Free Music Review: Installment two of country-to-pop crossovers
Hit: 5 Stars
With so many tunes that climbed both the country and pop charts during the "golden age" of American rock 'n' roll, it wasn't unexpected that Ace Records of the U.K. would follow up their "Special Country Edition" with another volume of crossover hits. This new installment gathers up 28 more tunes that, with two exceptions, were top-ten country hits and landed in the top-100 pop chart as well. And true to fashion, Ace did not merely rebundle recordings that have been compiled ad nauseam, but dug deeper to compile a refreshingly diverse group of big sellers yet mostly seldom-found-on-CD songs. Of interest to the hard-core collectors are even a few true rarities on legit CD such as Claude Gray's "I'll Have Another Cup of Coffee" and Roy Drusky's "Three Hearts in a Tangle".
Ace has lived up to its reputation in the production department here with top-notch sound quality and most of the tracks presented in stereo, the exceptions (1-3,6-13) being mostly the pre-1958 recordings. The accompanying detailed, illustrated and photo-filled 24-page liner notes booklet makes the read as satisfing as the listen. Mediocre country compilations are a dime-a-dozen but Ace has taken the genre to a higher plane with this extraordinary effort. Casual fans and hard-core collectors alike can find much to appreciate here.
The Golden Age of American Popular Music: The Country Hits Poster
Ace's 'Special Country Edition' of our long running, best selling The Golden Age Of American Rock 'n' Roll series surpassed our high expectations and quickly became one of the biggest sellers in the Ace catalogue. We've been consistently asked when we were going to follow it up - and the answer is now.Our second 'Special Country Edition' is part of the sister series, The Golden Age Of American Popular Music, and its appeal is guaranteed to match that of the others. Once again we have assembled some of the greatest names in 1950s and 60s country, and some of their biggest Billboard Hot 100 hits of the period, which include some of country music's most beloved songs of all time.
As well as making the Hot 100, all except two of our inclusions made the Billboard Country Top 10, with the vast majority of them peaking within the Top 5.
Beautifully mastered from the best possible sources, and featuring a typical Golden Age style booklet crammed with copious annotation and a host of illustrations, this is a treat for Golden Age collectors and fans of vintage country music alike.
