The amiable Texan has such a casual and unaffected delivery, you'd swear you could do as fine a job yourself. Of course, making it all sound so easy is tough work. These early-1950s radio transcriptions, recorded in Thompson's cutting-edge home studio in Oklahoma City, boast impeccable sound quality and offer a treasure of rarities from the Thompson songbook. Thompson straddles the line between Western swing and honky-tonk, and all of these cuts, even his potentially silly novelties, are disarmingly endearing, unpretentious, and danceable. His band, spearheaded by guitarist Billy Gray and steel-guitar force Bobbie White, is flawless and always tasteful. --Marc Greilsamer

5 out of 5 stars Where I Got My Start.......2007-03-11

This was the first collection of Thompson's music I heard. You'll get a good idea of the range of his abilities and his sonic playfulness. It's a very consistent album, but really only hints at the adventurous spirit of his other recorded work. When I heard some of his Capitol recordings and the excellent live album "At The Golden Nugget," it was official. Hank became one of my all time favorites.

5 out of 5 stars Hanksworld.......2000-07-28

Excellent CD of Hank Thompson classic country. This CD contains mostly songs that were not big hits of Hanks but still great recordings. Too often CD's of this tme period contain only the big hits that you already own, and do not contain lesser known but excellent recordings.
