My first taste of music was that of being brought up in a house where Rock 'n' Roll was the most played even during the 70s. I also got to hear alot of the Osmonds, Bay city rollers and ABBA, watching my elder sisters using hairbrushes as microphones and sining along to Top of the Pops.
Ofcourse thrown in with that was the many other 50s, 60s & 70s artists as the family was very varied on thier taste in music.
One day my mum gave me a couple of cassette tapes (If you can remember what they are) to go along with a second hand tape recorder that i was given. The tapes she gave me were "Walk right back with the Everlys" and "Bobby Vees Greatest hits"
I cherished these tapes and memorised every song on them since i played them so many times, i am supprised they didnt wear out!
As i grew older i began to also listen to music that teenagers of my age were listening to during the 80s. But no matter what i listened to i always prefered my Everlys Brothers tape. As time went on and i began to buy my own records i tended to by singles for chart music but the Albums tended to be Rock 'n' roll and quite a collection of the Everlys.
Other artists began to take my interest that were not modern and not Rock 'n' Roll. These were artists like Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, John Denver or Johnny Cash.
So my biggest interest in Rock 'n' Roll was my early experience with the Everlys but my taste in music appeared to being pulled more and more towards Country. It took me a few years to realise that the biggest part of the Everlys music was in fact country based, this became clear as my Everlys collection grew.
It is plain to see that the Everlys were my favorite all time artist, and still are, but i still enjoy listening to a wide range of music from all walks of life.

Now that time has passed on even further the CD collection is starting to gain a little respect with yet again music from all walks of life including a few Everly Brothers and some country.
A little while ago we also added to that "The very best of Country Gold"
Now this is a CD that has been played a few times i can tell you.

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 of fire" and the classic "Walk the line"
Eva Cassidy is another of the more newer artist to hit the country scene and with her angelic voice she is not always seen as country singer, more folk/Jazz.
Ofcourse the Everlys are on the disc aswell but unfortunatly with only one song "Bye Bye Love" which is a shame, but then again i am biased.
Other great artists include LeAnn Rimes, Tammy Wynette, Lynn Anderson, Roy Orbison and Charlie Rich to name but a few and, again which is a shame, The Judds only singing one song "Love Can Build a Bridge"

The set comes with 3 CDs, each in there own cases within a card cover that houses them all together. There are 53 tracks altogether with two discs of 18 and the third with 17. All the songs are listed on the outer case at the back and each individual case has its own list for the tracks on that particular disc.
If you are luck enough to own a CD player that plays 3 CDs at a time then put them all in and have hours of great music from some of the best Country artists.
