Music reviews of Classic Country: Hard to Find Hits
Music Review: Not-So-Hard To Find ... But Still A Nice Collection
Rating: 4 Stars
There are numerous "theme" volumes in this series from TimeLife/ BMG and all are excellent compilations with superb sound quality and detailed liner notes. But this one, while no less delightful as a collection of some of the best of oldies Country, hardly fits the sub-title "Hard To Find Hits."
Ranging from 1953 [I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know) to 1971 [Easy Lovin'], perhaps two of the 20 selections can remotely be described as "hard-to-find" - It's Such A Pretty World Today and You're The Reason - and even those sre to be found in several other locations [see Volume 3 of the series Hey Look What I Found for example].
The liner notes by Charles McCardell take the form of track-by-track comments [including label details and chart performances - both Country and pop] and, as such, offer some fascinating insight into either the song itself [Lonesome 7-7203] or the artist. For example, that Ned Miller suffered from such stage-fright that he often hired impersonators to take his place at live appearances.
Not a bad gathering of essential and major Country hits - just not all that difficult to locate. Not like, say, the original of No Help Wanted by The Carlisles, That Do Make It Nice by Eddy Arnold, I Let The Stars Get In My Eyes by Goldie Hill, Hootchie Kootchie Henry (From Hawaii) by Mitchell Torok, I Can Still Hear The Music In The Restroom - Jerry Lee Lewis (and try and find THAT anywhere), That's My Paw - Sheb Wooley (the ORIGINAL), and Rockin' Rollin' Ocean by Hank Snow. Now THEY are hard to find.
