...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. Dolly Parton, well the name speaks for it self as many do on this album, as well as singing great classics such as "Jolene" she also once again pairs up with Kenny Rogers for "Island in the Stream" and ofcourse Kenny does a couple of solos including "Ruby don't take your love to town" Johnny Cash also appears with "Ring...

Advantages: ALL THE CLASSICS FROM YESTERYEARS - GOOD MIXES - SOUND QUALITY
Disadvantages: SOME SONGS I WOULDN'T RATE AS A "CLASSIC"

PAUL VAN DYK - FOR AN ANGEL This is a song where you can ask... Read review
