The songs that grace this comprehensive 2CD package all come from the golden age of country music… Often called “white man’s blues”.For nearly a century now, country music has been captured on cylinder, vinyl, tape and compact disc.In America during the 1950s, while rock & roll battled calypso as the nation’s favourite sound, meanwhile in the background, these classic country songs could be heard across the land – all the way from the Gulf of Mexico, right up to the frozen wastes of Minnesota.The 40 songs gathered together here is plain and simple country music – at its best.
