    5 out of 5 stars The real deal.......2006-08-11

    Here is a sadly overlooked duet. It's too bad, because before there was Conway & Loretta, George and Tammy, or even George and Melba, there was Stoney and Wilma Lee. Here is some of the most perfect country music you will ever hear. There are 19 songs here, including numberes penned and sung by none other than the Great Hank Williams, Maddox Bro's and Rose, The Louvin's, and even the premiere songwriter Don Gibson. This is absolute pure country music, sung with pure sincerity. The sound is incredible; hard to believe that these songs were originally released in the early '60's. This Hickory Roads release also contain a fine set of liner notes that give a detailed account of this fine duet's career. A+

    5 out of 5 stars American Classic.......2005-04-20

    Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper were pioneers of the mountain style of country music. This CD represents them with some of their best cuts. Wilma Lee's hard driving vocal style is paramount. The great instrumentation provied by the Clinch Mountain Clan adds to the successful sound. For those who love the traditional sounds of country music will love this CD

    5 out of 5 stars Old fashioned country music of the fifties.......2002-09-02

    You won't find anything like Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper in the modern music scene. Their music was pure hillbilly, with plenty of banjo (played by Wilma), so although it isn't bluegrass as such, it should appeal to some fans of bluegrass music.

    There are some amazing covers here, including Big midnight special (Leadbelly), There's a big wheel (Don Gibson) and This ole house (Rosemary Clooney) as well as two obscure Hank Williams songs (Six more miles and Singing waterfall). Another great cover is Philadelphia lawyer, written by Woody Guthrie but also recorded by those rocking hillbillies, the Maddox brothers and Rose.

    Wilma was a good songwriter in her own right, and four of her songs are featured here, these being My heart keeps crying, Cheated too, I tell my heart and He taught them how.

    Both Wilma and Stoney were great instrumentalists. Wilma, who had a very strong full-throated voice, did most of the singing with Stoney providing the harmonies.

    To enjoy this, you have to love old fashioned country music and you also have to love the banjo. If you do, this CD will be a dream come true, but if either one puts you off, keep well clear.

    5 out of 5 stars Essential.......2002-04-27

    I must say, this will fill the void in your collection that has been there for years. All of Wilma Lee and Stoney's biggest and most well known songs are here in their original form. The booklet has fantastic notes and recording dates are also included.

    If you are serious about having a collection of country music, you have to get this cd. I never thought I would see the day when they released an anthology on these important artists. Pure mountain music. One of the most important releases so far in 2002.

    4 out of 5 stars Fine collection of 1950s hillbilly-country husband/wife duo.......2002-04-24

    Country music's first several decades are filled with stellar performing and recording acts who are hardly remembered today. Before Country music became a national phenomenon, many acts attained regional stardom in the South and East, gaining fame through radio programs such as The Wheeling Jamboree and Grand Ole Opry, not to mention the endless touring these programs made possible. The occasional chart breakthrough might expand their fame temporarily, but their names never lingered readily in the national consciousness.

    Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper are a perfect example of this mid-level stardom. Born in West Virginia, Dale Troy "Stoney" Cooper was an ace fiddle player, while Wilma Lee [Leary] was a talented instrumentalist who'd mastered the banjo, organ and guitar. Wilma Lee was also a forceful singer, in whose family band (The Learys) she'd sung full-throated devotional and gospel. The pair married in '39 and began working as a duo. They spent time playing on several radio stations, touring the areas covered by their signals, eventually settling back in West Virginia to work WWVA's Jamboree. Two years later they were under contract with Columbia, and recorded with the label until '54.

    Following their departure from Columbia they signed with the newly formed Acuff-Rose backed label, Hickory. Two years later, they relocated to Nashville and joined the Opry. These turned into incredibly productive years for the duo, and the tracks on this CD are taken from their 1956-63 tenure at Hickory. Their music treads the line between the hill music on which they'd been raised, and the more modern '50s sounds of Nashville. Even those tracks that added drums or the occasional electric instrument mostly held fast to their mountain roots, most especially in Wilma Lee's singing.

    The earliest Hickory sides, 1956's "I Want to Be Loved (But Only By You)" and "The Tramp on the Street" are full-on hillbilly, filled with fiddle, steel, acoustic bass and vocals bent blue with twang. Wilma Lee's banjo can be heard throughout their late-50s tracks, including the instrumental "Home Sweet Home," and the harmony singing borrows from gospel and mountain sources. 1956 also marked the duo's first chart appearance for Hickory, with their hard-knock original, "Cheated Too." They'd hit again in 1958 with "Come Walk With Me," in 1959 with a revival of Leadbelly's "Big Midnight Special," and they'd close out the '50s with Don Gibson's "There's a Big Wheel."

    The early '60s found the team continuing to make hits, with "This Old House," Boudleaux & Felice Bryant's "Johnny, My Love (Grandma's Diary)" in 1960, and 1961 "The Wreck on the Highway" the following year. Several follow-up singles failed to chart (including fine, traditional takes of Hank Williams' "Singing Waterfall" and the Woody Guthrie's "Philadelphia Lawyer"), before Stoney's 1963 heart attack forced them to slow down. They regrouped in 1965 to record for Decca, and several other labels, continuing to play live until Stoney's death in 1977. Wilma Lee still tours and plays the Opry.

    Varese's nineteen-track collection pulls together the essential sides from their Hickory years, and together with an informative essay from Collin Escott, this set gives listeners a chance to meet and enjoy a true roots act whose national recognition never matched their regional fame, nor, obviously, the lasting quality of their music.

    4 out of 5 stars Get This One.......2006-10-28

    If you enjoy traditional country music, you'll love this one. True, Stoney and Wilma Lee were not in their prime when these were recorded, but like the great Ernest Tubb, some voices actually improve with age. Like just about every King Records CD in my collection, the liner notes are scant. But, for the price, it's not a legitimate complaint. To be honest, I'm not a real fan of artists covering other folks' music. But, I'm partial to this one, as it was done professionally, and in the no-nonsense style of the Carters. While there are only 10 songs found here (a short playing time), the selection could not be any better; their cover of "Sweet Fern" and "Gathering Flowers" are every bit as good as Sarah, Maybelle, and A.P.

    4 out of 5 stars Old-fashioned country, taken at a leisurely pace.......2003-10-10

    I'm not sure when these tracks were actually recorded -- I'd guess the mid-1970s, but it's hard to say, since, as with many King/Gusto releases, the liner notes are pretty sparse. At any rate, Wilma & Stoney were pretty long in the tooth when these songs were recorded, and this is a pretty laid-back set... No zip or flashy pyrotechnics, though the songs are still great, and these performances have a calm, confident charm. Worth checking out...!

    5 out of 5 stars Some of the Best Music this side of Heaven.......2002-10-23

    If you like Old time music with a bluegrass flavor get this cd while you can. It has some of the sweetest sounds this side of heaven.

            Hank Williams Vintage Vaults 4 CD Set ... 3 CD's of Hank Williams, plus 1 CD called Tribute To Hank Williams ----------------------------------- What else can be said about the late great Legendary Hank Williams that has not already been said... Get this Hank Williams CD Set and you will definately see what the fuss is all about... The CD never aged...it is just as relevant today as in the late 1940ies and early 1950ies when Hank first recorded these songs... What makes this CD so amazing is that it is very, very, very "LOW TECH" or probably just about "NO TECH"...it is all pure RAW TALENT of Hank Williams both as a song writer and as a singer... The songs just come ALIVE when Hank sings them...if you don't believe me listen to the 4th CD which is a tribute to Hank Williams by some of Country Music's greats like Roy Acuff, Pasty Cline and Wilma Lee Cooper and Stoney Cooper (June Carter's mom and dad)...these greats can not even hold a candle so to speak to the GREAT and I do mean GREAT Hank Williams...

            5 out of 5 stars Pure Country At It's Best.......2002-02-13

            I was 10 years old when Wilma Lee & Stoney Cooper and the Clinch Mountain Clan came to the small country villiage where I lived in Farrellton, Quebec, Canada. It was only the 2nd live country music show I had seen. I became an instant fan and truly loved their singing and wonderful music. This CD is a must for any traditional country and bluegrass music loving fan. Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper were Stars of the World's Original WWVA Jamboree in Wheeling, West Virginia for many years before joining the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Wilma Lee and their daughter, Carol Lee Cooper, still sing on the Opry today. I highly recommend this album. When you purchase this album...let me know how you like and enjoy it. I have been looking for their CD's for sometime now and it was wonderful to find it. I just purchased it myself and will order more copies to share with friends. Robert

            My Father use to listen to Wilma lee and Stoney Cooper when I was a Little girl. My Father was a lead guitar player for many, many years. One of my favorite songs he use to play to my brothers and sisters and I before bedtime was "The Legend of The Dog Wood Tree" So as you can imagine this album is very special to me. I've searched for it every where. I need to buy it. My Father is dying and I don't have a credit card. Can you give me any sugestions as to how I may purchase this tape. It gets 500 stars. Thank You

            5 out of 5 stars Wilma Lee Cooper...LEGEND.......2001-03-03

            If you're familiar with the music and history of this great lady,you'll enjoy this collection. If, not, it's a good start. For those in attendance at the Ryman, or listening to the Opry this past Saturday night, February 24th, when Wilma Lee Cooper suffered a mild stroke during her performance and continued to complete her set, they learned the true meaning of what a "star" really is. New artists and the music industry should take note. For a lady who has performed for over 68 years, been honored by the Smithsonian, Library of Congress, Harvard University and nearly every state in the union and Canada, she has been relatively ignored by the industry and city she chose to call home and promote. Artists like Wilma Lee are fast becoming a thing of the past. Thankfully she will fully recover and hopefully we'll have her around another 80 years. If you looked up the words "legend" and "star" in the dictionary, they could be described in three words, Wilma Lee Cooper. nashbruce@aol.com

            4 out of 5 stars A National Treasure.......2000-01-31

            Wilma Lee Cooper is truley a National Treasure. A member of the Grand Old Opry since 1957, Wilma Lee is still a vibrant performer, who shouldn't be missed if you have a chance to see her. This CD is a compelation of songs from Wilma Lee's solo career (recorded after the passing of her musical partner and husband, Stoney), but it is only the tip of the iceberg. For the true hardcore Wilma Lee and Stoney sound, seek out "Walking My Lord Up Calvary Hill". A definative multi-CD collection of Wilma Lee's music is sorely needed, but as she recorded for so many labels over her long career, legal logistics make such a collection a near impossibility.

            5 out of 5 stars Totally Awesome.......1999-09-15

            This is a truly awesome CD of pure, classic country music-- no drums, horns, or choirs on this one-- only the acoustic instruments that were found "back in the hills" accompany the splendid country voice of Wilma Lee. The days when pure country music such as this were produced in Nashville are long gone. We need to listen to CDs like this to realize how much has been lost in today's "modern" country music.

            5 out of 5 stars Wilma Lee's fine voice plus superb side-men -- wow !!!.......1998-09-20

            These tunes were recorded in 1979 and 1981 and all 18 tunes feature great dobro work by Gene Wooten and other fine musicians. "Big John's Wife" is terrific, for example.
