5 out of 5 stars Th This is really great!.......2002-08-21

Mel scores again after all these years with his pure, smooth vocal qualities, and a stellar cast of musicians supporting a fabulous collection of country music's best. What more can be said about a man, a legend, an entertainer known hands down as one of the greatest performers in country music. Mel Tillis could stutter a raging storm in the sea into a warm, breezy, lazy afternoon. The man makes you smile. No matter how you slice it, this man takes the cake every time a song has been recorded. Listen closely to the fin'ese of the musical arrangements, you can never be disappointed with the time you spend listening, only coming away with a sense of reward and satisfaction. Belle Glade Florida sure knows how to grow, no, not the alligators, but the Tillis Clan. I'll b bet you that he could win a st stuttering contest anyday, handsdown, the same way he has with the collection on this album. More Please!

5 out of 5 stars The missing years of a onetime country legend.......2004-02-20

It's funny: looking at all those old Webb Pierce albums, I always imagined he and Mel Tillis were best buds, collaborating together on those rock-influenced honkytonk shuffles, along with Webb's songwriting secret weapons, Wayne P. Walker. Turns out, though, that Tillis was one of those woebegotten Nashville second-stringers whose work Webb would poach at will, rushing out his own versions of other people's songs (with the full weight of the Decca Records publicity machine behind him), and locking down the chart hit before the original artist's single could gather any steam.

For Mel Tillis, it was definitely a double-edged sword -- Pierce's version of "I'm Tired" (poached from Ray Price) established Tillis as a popular songwriter, but Webb's subsequent preemptions put a stranglehold on Tillis's early hopes at a career as a star. If Webb always had a hit with the songs, how could Mel establish himself as a performer? This disc captures the drama of these formative early years, recording for Don Law and the folks at Columbia... Tillis tried tossing a lot of stuff at the wall, to see what would stick, there are plenty of teenpop tunes, penned for the Elvis Presley/Ricky Nelson crowd, adapted folk tunes, and even a few "historical" tunes, ala Johnny Horton and Claude King... But it's the honkytonk numbers that really stand out: Tillis's own versions of songs such as "No Love Have I," "Heart Over Mind" and "Tupelo County Jail" (which all show an interesting stylistic debt to George Jones...) Mel's singles mostly flopped, and it would be several years before he'd start to have hits, over on the Kapp label, and later on MGM... Still, his early work sounds fun today... This is a nice historical set, and a must-have for Tillis fans!
