3 CD Over the past decade there has been a huge increase in the popularity of country music in the U.K. with country compilations regularly topping the chart. We present a definitive 60-track country hits collection drawn from both Universal and Sony’s catalogues. In the 70’s there was an explosion of crossover country hits in the UK – with these tracks now seen as absolute classics of the genre. All of these tracks by, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Glen Campbell, John Denver, Billie Jo Spears, Tammy Wynette, Dr Hook and Crystal Gayle and many more are present here. Superstar pop acts also recorded country-tinged tracks resulting in massive popularity and we are delighted to include songs from Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Janis Joplin and Sheryl Crow. Lots of new country stars have emerged over the past 25 years to huge success, including Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, Kacey Musgraves and Lonestar with their key songs included here becoming staples of radio stations across the world. Country music can often be about heart-break but it is also about having a good, good time and anthems from Billy Ray Cyrus, Gretchen Wilson, Brooks & Dunn, Shania Twain and The Charlie Daniels Band defy you to sit still. And of course, no great Country album would be complete without the trail-blazing stars that defined the genre and made their songs an integral part of the history of music and the soundtracks to our lives – Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Roger Miller Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton to name just a few that are included on this album. We are very proud to present – truly -the best country album in the world… Ever!
