5 out of 5 stars Under rated brothers of country.......2003-05-19

Success did not come easy to Larry, but things started to happen when Dottie West became impressed by his songwriting and started to record some of his songs, something she continued to do occasionally even after he became successful as a singer. Eventually, Kris Kristofferson managed to persuade his own label, Monument, to give Larry a recording contract.

Although Larry was the lead singer, his brothers always sang harmony so it was no surprise when Larry gave them credit by including them in the title of his act. They never became really big names, but they were successful for a few years in the mid to late seventies and early eighties, the period covered by this compilation, and have continued to record sporadically ever since.

After some minor hits (included here), their big break came via Broken lady, the song chosen to start this compilation. It was a masterpiece, and it was no surprise that Dottie West recorded it with gender-adapted lyrics. Their biggest hit was All the gold in California, which tells you that it all belongs to somebody else now so don't waste time looking for it. It's a very clever song and catchy too - no surprise that it was such a huge success.

Other songs here worthy of mention include I just wish you were someone I love (their first country number one hit), I don't wanna cry, She used to sing on Sunday, Houston, Take me to your loving place and Midnight choir. Actually, every song here is wonderful and there are some others that I would like to have seen included too, but there is one in particular worth mentioning - Bitter they are harder they fall. It was not their biggest hit but several singers have covered it. Dottie West was first (of course) - she actually recorded the song twice, several years apart - but Elvis Presley and Anne Murray are among others who have followed. I am amused to see Larry's version on an Elvis tribute compilation. How can his version be a tribute?

The absence of Bitter they are harder they fall (which can be found on other Gatlin albums as well as Elvis tributes) does not prevent this from being an excellent compilation of music by a distinctive trio of brothers.

5 out of 5 stars simply the best.......2002-10-20

I enjoy listening to Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers all the time. The song writing and vocal ability is one of the best. No matter what kind of music you like, you should love this music. I saw the Gatlin Brothers in Branson MO. and it was very much worth the trip.

5 out of 5 stars Powerful country harmonies!.......2000-05-12

One of the premier country acts of the 70s and 80s, the Gatlin Brothers produced hit after major hit. With Larry's dynamic leads and the kind of harmonies that only siblings can create, the trio proved both versatile and long-lived.

This collection has all of the early hits and most of the later ones, including the biggest of them all, All the Gold in California. A major bonus is the often overlooked Midnight Choir, a delightfully tongue-in-cheek poke at the missionary work and gospel background that the Gatlin's love.

A truly wonderful collection, highly recommended for any fan of country music or beautiful vocal harmonies.

5 out of 5 stars A True Artist.......2007-06-10

From the late 70's until now, Larry Gatlin has been an absolute favorite of mine. This CD is full of Gatlin's best vocals; rich, melodic and soulful. His "Midnight Choir" brings tears to my eyes and every song on this CD is pure enjoyment.

5 out of 5 stars It Does Not Get Any Better Than This.......2004-04-13

Greatest Hits albums by definition are generally a good way to go, most are populated with hits and songs that have received radio air play. This album is no exception all the tracks are good some are even great, to mention a few, Love is Just a Game. Broken Lady, Night Time Magic, I Don't Wanna Cry, ok I admit it, I like them all.
Straight Ahead is an outstanding album. With the huge hit All The Gold in California (their signature song), two of my favorites, Piece by Piece and We're Number One and a big request at live shows, Midnight Choir, this collection has something for everyone. It has the country band sound of the late 70s and early 80s and features the songwriting talents of Larry as well as the tight harmonies these guys are known for never evidenced more than in the bonus track I'v Done Enough Dyin' Today.
The Brothers retired from the road in 92 but in 2001 embarked on what they call The Neverending Reunion Tour which they claim will go on until it doesn't. If they aren't appearing near you you can also catch their act in Branson during the Fall and Christmas Season.

5 out of 5 stars Straight Ahead Lives!.......2002-09-07

Straight Ahead is by definition Larry Gatlin's masterpiece. The music gives listeners a taste of two different types of music: 1)Larry's conventional folk music and 2)VERY dated late 1970s country music sounds. If you're a fan of the orchestral sounds behind country music you'll love this album. It features Gatlin's hit "All The Gold In California", "Mogen David", and my personal favorite "We're Number One". Gatlin retired to Austin, Texas where he owns a clothing store and can frequently be seen on a church broadcast on Sunday mornings in the Austin/Central Texas area.
