Lynn in the sixties.......2003-04-13

Although Lynn achieved her greatest successes in the early seventies with Columbia records, her sixties recordings for the small Chart label were every bit as good. This is the only compilation of that music so far released on CD.

Rocky top is perhaps the most important track here. This often-covered song was a top 20 country hit for her despite competition from the Osborne brothers. Ride ride ride was Lynn's first recording for Chart, while other notable recordings include If I kiss you, No another time and Big girls don't cry.

Lynn also recorded plenty of covers back then. Among those included here are I've been everywhere (Hank Snow), It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels (Kitty Wells), All my friends are gonna be strangers (just titled Strangers in the track listing - Merle Haggard) and Auctioneer (Leroy Van Dyke). All these are, of course, brilliant.

These recordings are very similar in style to Lynn's seventies music, but if anything are more solidly country. Buy this if you can find it.

The best pure country Lynn Anderson album.......2002-04-26

I had been looking for the song "If I Kiss You" for many years. When I finally found and purchased the CD I was pleasantly surprised with the other tracks. I had forgotten about "No Another Time", which was one of my favorites in college, and "Big Girls Don't Cry". Lynn's renditions of "Rocky Top" and "I've Been Everywhere" are good. The liner notes are good and I have a new appreciation for the song writing abilities of Lynn's mother, Liz. I will probably wear this CD out, the tracks are so good and bring back good country memories, in fact I am playing it now. By the way, I must be the only person on the planet who did not like the crossover hit "Rose Garden". However, in this album (before that era) Lynn's Pure County voice shines. Thanks to Renaissance/Sony Music Special Products.

Great collection of Anderson's early years.......2000-06-20

In 1966, a teenaged Anderson signed with the small Chart label and immediately hit with her mother Liz's up-tempo composition "Ride, Ride, Ride." For the next two years, mom kept daughter charting with top-notch songs that played off her youthful exuberance like "If I Kiss You (Will You Go Away)" and "Promises, Promises." Outside writers entered the fray in 1969 and continued the success, with the equally playful "That's A No No" as well as the Wynette-like tearjerker "Our House Is Not A Home." Anderson would leave Chart in 1970 for the big time (Columbia Records) but the move didn't mean she was now Chartless. Chart mined Anderson's old albums for new singles to compete with her new Columbia recordings. They astutely selected remakes of hits like Hank Snow's "I've Been Everywhere" and the Osborne Brothers' "Rocky Top" which displayed Anderson at her most irresistibly chipper. Consequently, Chart got a handful of top 20 hits for about two years after she left the label. The Chart Years contains every single Chart released on Anderson (including all of the aforementioned), along with a few well-chosen album tracks like "Auctioneer" and "Sing Me A Sad Song." As her entire Chart catalog had been out of print for years, most people have forgotten or never heard these great early Anderson recordings. This reissue should help rectify that.
