...very best of Country Gold" Now this is a CD that has been played a few times i can tell you. The very best of Country Gold. The list of artists on the album just scream out at you the type of quality that you are about listen to and the recordings are all of the top popular tracks , this collection has been really thoughtfully put together. As well as the older greats singing some of their greatest tunes there are some of the more modern artists aswell proving that Country is still going strong. The Artists.
