Music reviews of Anthology
Music Review: A very strong compilation
Rating: 5 Stars
It is not possible to do full justice to Charley's career in forty tracks but this anthology is easily the best compilation of his music yet released in America. Whether it is better than the Australian compilation Legendary (released in Britain with different packaging titled Legends) is a good debating point. Certainly, this compilation has superior sound quality but there are significant differences in track selection that mean but all true Charley Pride fans will want both despite substantial duplication - thirty songs appear on both sets.
As befits an American compilation, this set focuses on the songs that established and maintained his career in his homeland from the mid-sixties to the mid-eighties, featuring many of his high-charting hits on the country charts. There were far more than forty of these so inevitably some have been left out but most of the songs that Americans regard as essential are here including Kiss an angel good morning and Is anybody going to San Antone. Charley's popularity in America was at its height between 1969 and 1973, represented here by All I have to offer you is me and the subsequent tracks on the first CD.
As the years went boy, Charley's popularity at home gradually slipped although he continued to have plenty of big country hits well into the eighties. The second CD includes twenty of these later tracks. Meanwhile, Charley toured extensively abroad, performing in Britain, Australia and other countries where he found a ready market for his brand of traditional country music. Outside America Crystal chandeliers, never released as a single in America, became his signature song.
As this is an American compilation, you won't find Crystal chandeliers here but you can find on the Legendary/Legends compilation I mentioned earlier, together with other tracks that are also omitted from this set (some of which were big American country hits) including Burgers and fries, You're my Jamaica, Snakes crawl at night, A whole lotta things to sing about, Mountain of love, Missing you, Does my ring hurt your finger and My eyes can only see as far as you. Among the ten songs here but not on the other collection are Before I met you, Did you think to pray, Don't fight the feelings of love and We could.
If you don't want the duplication involved in buying both collections and aren't worried about the differences in track selection, go for this one for the re-mastered sound quality and superior packaging. If song selection is to be the criteria (remembering the sound quality on the other set is perfectly good enough for most people), my guess is that Americans will prefer this set while Brits and Aussies (who regard Crystal chandeliers as essential) will choose the other collection.
