Buck Owens - All-Time Greatest Hits, Vol.1.......2007-05-09

So sad that we recently lost this great entertainer. But we can still hear him singing his great songs that we will always remember on this "Greatest Hits" CD. He has others, but I like this one the best. I highly recommend this to others.

Classic sounds!.......2006-04-26

True, hard-core Western Country! Thanks Buck Owens for years of super music that stayed true to the sound. Live on. Live well. Be happy. Listen to Buck.

Thee Best CD Ever From BuckOwens.......2004-03-11

When it comes to Buck Owens there is no other that can out preform him on stage. This is just one of his best works!

Buck Owens and his legacy.......2002-02-26

Buck Owens dominated the country charts in the 1960s. With his signature frieght train sound, catapulted by Don Rich's searing lead guitar riffs and high tenor harmonies, Owens became the torch bearer of the Bakersfield Sound. This compilation serves up some of Owens' biggest hits including Act Naturally, Tiger by the Tail, and Together Again. It also showcases Owens' early Capitol releases including, Excuse Me I Think I've Got a Heartache and Under Your Spell Again. But this compilation does not stop there. Also included is Owens' Made in Japan, which features Don Rich's masterful fiddle overdubs and flawless guitar work. Owens'version of Streets of Bakersfield and Big in Vegas give the listener some of Owens' later works. Overall, this album displays a slice of each stage in Owens' career with Capitol Records. The style and sound featured on this album make modern country acts look like sharecroppers. This is an important album in my collection and it should be in yours too.

Think Of Me When You're Lonely.......2001-06-12

The first volume of great juke-box music from the best Country performer of the 1960s and 70s, ALL TIME GREATEST HITS VOLUME 1 hits most of the highs--"Act Naturally," "Streets of Bakersfield, "Made In Japan," "Think Of Me," and the killer "Tiger By The Tail"--and one real clunker, "Big In Vegas."

Tracks:

The Race Is On
My Favorite Lies
Tender Years
The Window Up Above
She Thinks I Still Care
White Lightnin'
Walk Through This World With Me
She's Mine
I'll Share My World With You
Why Baby Why

Jones Hits Sherrillized..........2004-12-23

Released in 1977 - when George Jones was in the depths of his alcohol and cocaine addiction - ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS, VOL 1 showcases some of the many great songs Jones had popularized in the previous two decades. Producer Billy Sherrill shows his genius here in giving these songs the treatment they deserve and these gems sparkle all the more with his classic touch.

All the hits are here, including "White Lightnin'," "The Race Is On," "Walk Through this World With Me," and "The Window Up Above" (the ladder, while respectable, does not come close to the chilling original version, which features Jones discovering his trademark vocal delivery). In addition, Jones' often overlooked skills as a songwriter is revealed, with him being credited with composing "My Favorite Lies," "Why Baby Why," and the forlorn "She's Mine," which has a surprise ending which will likely make tears well up in your eyes. You may have heard these songs before but it is worth hearing them again framed with Sherrill's immaculate touch. Hunt it down now!

Good CD, but Re-records.......2004-08-14

This is a good CD, but if you're looking for the real "hits", skip this one. SOme of the songs sound downright lazy, like this slowed down re-record of "The Race Is On", as well as this version of "She Thinks I Still Care".
The high points of this collection are as follows:
First, this CD contains the best version (and there have been a few) that Jones ever recroded of "White Lightnin'." This version far surpasses the original Murcury recording and the Musicor version where they tried to get by using twin fiddles (very cheezy).
The second high point is the very "true-to-the-original" re-record of "She's Mine."

All in all, this is a good CD (Jones couldn't record anything that wasn't), but keep in mind that these are NOT the original hits, and they will sound just like what they are: Re-records.

Flat Re-Recordings of Early Hits.......2003-07-26

All of the tracks on this CD are re-recordings of previous hits while George was at other labels, Mercury, United Artists, Musicor and are flat and nonengerized. The Problem is there is not a cd collection that combines all of George's best songs from the various labels into one collection. This country music legend has 162 charted songs in his 50 year career, so it is very difficult to find some of the material in some kind of collection. The Best Pre-Epic collections out there are "Cup of Loneliness: The Classic Mercury Years and She Thinks I Still Care-The George Jones Collection which covers the United Artist Material. Both of the collections are 2 CD sets.
The recordings from George's time with the Musicor label, after United Artist, has never really been properly put into a collection, one must look to the cheap Federal, Hollywood or Deluxe labels for this material and the sound quality is usually poor. The Best Epic Collection of George's work is the Essential George Jones-Spirit of Country 2CD collection. After this there is A George Jones Collection that covers the best of his MCA work. If you can afford all of these 2CD sets mentioned and find a descent cd covering the Musicor material and also buy the George Jones Collection covering the MCA material you have it covered, oh but what about the mateial after the MCA material, The Asylum years,The Cold Hard Truth Album with the fine ballad "Choices" Jones's catalogue is exhausting. However in the meantime, skip this poor, worthless, ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS VOL. 1 CD. The Orginal versions are always the best versions even if they are on costly collections

A Great Starting Point For Your Jones Collection.......2000-03-20

If you're trying to learn about the music of the greatest singer in country history and are bewildered by his vast catalog of forty-odd years, here's an easy and cheap starting point. Done in 1976 these re-recordings of Jones earlier crowd-pleasers are excellently done: Sherill's production is tasteful and intelligent, for once, the chorus is muted, the sound fine. And Jones, given here finally, half a chance, reaches Sinatra-like lustre on the ballads (especially "She Still Thinks I Care") and shines up the old rockers like "White Lightnin'" far beyond the originals. This is the way re-recordings should be: mature, better thought-out, and ultimately definitive. One of the all-time best Jones album covers, too.

The most interesting factoid culled from the notes to Kenny Rogers & the First Edition's Greatest Hits is that the group's drummer was Mickey Jones, the same skinman who played with Bob Dylan and the Hawks on the legendary Albert Hall bootleg. It seems Jones has gone on to appear in Breath-Savers commercials, in case you've wondered. "But You Know I Love You," "Something's Burning," "Tell It All Brother," "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Is In)" were the kind of faux psychedelic songs of the late '60s that made Jefferson Airplane followers cringe--which rather adds to their appeal. --Steven Stolder
