Music reviews of Ferlin Husky - Greatest Hits
Music Review: A Rare Gem from early Bakersfield Sound Pioneer: Must buy!
Rating: 5 Stars
There may be other Ferlin Husky collections available, and I have a few, but if you have stumbled across this one: BUY IT. Ferlin Husky was not a Nashville boy. He was in fact, one of the first big stars to hail from Bakersfield California, that inland haven of displaced Dustbowl refugees. Over time, Bakersfield evolved into a Country Music mecca to rival Nashville, producing such talents as Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. To this day, "The Bakerfield Sound" s being exploited by talented musicians such as Dwight Yoakum. Well, Ferlin Husky was one of the first Vocalists to make it big out of Bakersfield. He started out as a Movie actor and Pop Singer under another name (Terry something or other) and eventually settled on his own name. Most of you will probably be most familiar with his excellent gosepl balled contained on this CD, WINGS OF A DOVE. This song alone is worth the price of this CD. It's an old-fashioned singalong style with a delicate, lilting melody expertly sung by Ferlin. The other songs showcase his gentle but poignant delivery of love ballads and they are remarkably free of "Twang" so even somebody not accustomed to Country Music can find his songs enjoyable. Since he was not a Nashvillian, his renditions of a country standard like I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU take on a whole new meaning. I highly recommend this CD and urge you to seek out Other Ferlin Husky and Bakersfield Sound records. You will not be sorry and you will see that Nashville does not know nor did not then have the only claim to the heart of Country Music.
