Album Description
Soon after Bobby returned to RCA in 1972, he recorded an entire LP of songs by the legendary songwriter, cartoonist and humorist Shel Silverstein. The album yielded three hits, Daddy What If, Marie Laveau (Bobby's first ever #1 hit) and The Winner. Ten other songs feature Silverstein's weird and often ironic twist on the country song. This is regarded by many as Bobby's best-ever album!

Bobby Bare hits a homer!.......2002-10-16
This was the first album I ever bought, at the age of 12, with some money I had saved by mowning lawns. I listened to it for years until I wore the vinyl record out. "The Winner" and "Marie Leveaux" could be heard on the radio at the time but the real beauty of the album, I think, is the seldom-heard "Roaslie's Good Eats Cafe" and "In the Hills of Shiloh." Today, my wife uses "Rosalie's" to teach her 12th grade English students about descriptive writing. My two boys and I giggle at the "Mermaid", "Paul", "Sure Hit Songwriters Pen", and all the other great ones. Thanks Bobby & Shel for this artistic collaboration -- and for thirty years (and counting) of enjoyment.
An artists artist........2002-03-11
Many of these reviews are good but also erroneous.This is probably the best theme album of all time in any genre. But it was NOT the first theme album in country music. That distinction belongs to Johnny Cash in the early sixties.To appreciate ones music one does not have to denegrate someone elses music or contribution, or to have novice listeners make silly statements without them having the scope to be in the know. Johnny Cash says Bare is his favorite, he also was known as Jennings favorite.He also should be given more credit for the sweeping changes in the artist as being in control of their music.Far before Waylon and Willie , Bare learned from Cash how to rule his music from Nashville producers. Listen and enjoy . They are all favorites - but the last The Winner is a classic!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of any genre. Thanks Mr. Bare for your lifes music. Brad Stender.
not sure if it is the right song.......2002-03-01
I dont know about any review I want to be able to listen to the song befor I rate it Im not realy sure if that is the right song im thinking about if you or some one can tell me where i can listen to the song to see if it is realy the song that i am looking for
I'm Home!!!.......2001-07-24
I think of home when I hear "Daddy what if?" Man, it realy brings me back to my childhood. My Dad and I used to sing this to each other. My Dad is a drunk now. He is a "True Alcoholic" But he and I used to sing this to each other when I was little. I am 29 now. I hope anyone who listens to this will think of us and your own babies, when you hear this song. It is realy wonderful and I am glad that I have finally found it on Amazon.com. Love always with my daddy,..... Tricia

Album Description
UK 3-CD set. Charley Pride was the first African-American country superstar, and these days it's hard to believe that his earliest records, like his 1965 debut 'Snakes Crawl At Night', (written by Mel Tillis) were originally released without his picture on the 45 sleeve. By 1967 and 'Just Between You And Me', however, country fans knew him and embraced him. This compilation, which includes those two songs, features 29 Number One country hits, each sung by Pride in his unmistakable twangy baritone. 50 tracks in total. BMG. 2006.
Album Details
Smooth-tonsilled Country Singer who Clocked Up an Amazing 67 Hits on the Us Country Charts During the '70s Including 29 Number Ones.
Customer Reviews:
The forgotten country superstar.......2005-03-11
This compilation originally appeared in Australia, where it was titled Legendary. Now released in Britain, it has a slightly different title (Legends) and different packaging, but the same music.
Charley Pride had nearly thirty number one hits on the American country charts, as well as many other big hits, yet his music his poorly represented on CD in comparison with much less successful singers. This Australian set is the most comprehensive collection available. It would seem that Charley is better remembered in Britain and Australia than in his homeland. For those who do remember, there is much pleasure to be had from the fifty tracks here. The collection covers the whole span of his years at RCA from the sixties to the eighties.
Everybody has his or her own favorites. Crystal chandeliers (the final track here) was not released as a single in America, but it has become his most famous song elsewhere. The other tracks will be familiar to Americans and include Mississippi cotton picking delta town, All I have to offer you is me, Just between you and me, Is anybody going to San Antone?, Kiss an angel good morning, I'm just me, Does my ring hurt your finger? and Snakes crawl at night.
With songs like these, how is it that there seems to be so little interest in Charley's music compared to some of his contemporaries? I can't answer that, but it is likely that this will remain the strongest collection of Charley's music on CD although the American double CD (Anthology) is also an excellent collection.

Webb Pierce :Country Honky Tonk at its Best !!!.......2007-01-11
When the compliation album, "Caught in the Webb" came out - it was a tribute by current country artists to a legend of honky tonk music. This is a superlative two disc collection by the original master. I know many will want this ultimate collection(just one serious omission here - his classic hit, "Honky Tonk Song"). I know all country music lovers will enjoy this set from one of the great legends of honky tonk. His music made us all richer.

Fine Compilation Featuring Bluegrass Pioneers.......2004-12-12
Of the many, many bluegrass compilations out there, this is one the better ones. Here are 20 tracks from 6 pioneers of bluegrass music: Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs; the Stanley Brothers, Jimmy Martin, Mac Wiseman, and the Osborne Brothers. There are 4 tracks by Monroe, 4 by Martin, and 3 each by the others, spanning the years 1949 to 1969.
There is a good balance of material here; tragic tales, laments for the old home, heart songs, a train song, a truck driving song, incarceration songs, inspirational songs, and an instrumental. There is a nice 8 page booklet here with notes by Eddie Dean. Release years are given and song credits are listed, but musician information is missing.
I'm sorry that Don Reno & Red Smiley and that Jim & Jesse are not included in this collection. Too bad that Monroe's seminal work with Flatt & Scruggs is missing and that the Osborne Brothers' seminal work with Martin and then with Red Allen is missing. I would have liked to have seen a couple of the Stanley Brothers' spookier numbers from the 1940s. But overall this is a carefully prepared, thoughtful collection of essential bluegrass music.

Album Description
Legends is a 3 CD set comprised of 50 total tracks. If any one performer personified the outlaw country movement of the '70s, it was Waylon Jennings. Though he had been a professional musician since the late '50s, it wasn't until the '70s that Waylon, with his imposing baritone and stripped-down, updated honky-tonk, became a superstar. Jennings rejected the conventions of Nashville, refusing to record with the industry's legions of studio musicians and insisting that his music never resemble the string-laden, pop-inflected sounds that were coming out of Nashville in the '60s and '70s. Many artists, including Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson, followed Waylon's anti-Nashville stance and eventually the whole outlaw movement, so-named because of the artists' ragged, maverick image and their independence from Nashville became one of the most significant country forces of the '70s, helping the genre adhere to its hardcore honky-tonk roots. BMG. 2006.

Customer Reviews:
Even without Earl Scruggs, Les Flatt was great..........2003-10-01
This is an excellent compilation of tracks laid down by Mr. Flatt in the early 1970's, after the breakup with banjoist Scruggs. Lester put together a new group, awkwardly named "Nashville Grass", but full of talent (including the young Marty Stuart.) Flatt stayed within bluegrass tradition, and on a par with Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley. His RCA releases did not sell a lot during the 1970-74 run with the label, but the sound that made "Flatt and Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys" famous on Columbia in the sixties was still there. These tunes mix instrumentals and vocals, religious themes with secular, and there is even a joke song or two: "I Can't Tell the Boys From the Girls" and "The Martha White Theme" (Lester's long-time TV sponsor.)Those two conclude the disc, and ought to be just throw-aways, except that each is so much fun to hear. There are a couple of well-known selections on here, such as "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms" and "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" but the bulk of the CD is made up of performances that did not make a commercial impact at the time. It's all good, all bluegrass, all-American, and worth the price.
The best CD of the year has just been released.......2003-03-18
This awesome CD should be in everyone's collection.Every song is a winner..if you're a guitarist you'll put it in & be pickin' & grinnin' with every song.Lester Flatt's music needs to be re-examined & appreciated again.Awesome listening experience..don't pass it up!
Lester Flatt: RCA Country Legend.......2003-03-08
This is the GREATEST. I have been waiting years for this. It was worth the wait. There is not a bad song on the whole CD. Buy this CD. Five STARS. I don't have to write a essay. If you like REAL Country Music, you will love this CD.
