While I'm not particularly convinced that Roger Miller singing "King of the Road," Conway Twitty crooning "It's Only Make Believe," or even Waylon Jennings wailing "Are You Ready for the Country?" really qualify as "country" music, there are a handful of true country legends on this one-hour compilation of 20 performances from 12 artists. Tunes include "The Grand Tour" (George Jones), "Stardust" (Willie Nelson), "Good Ole Boys Like Me" (Don Williams), "El Paso" (Marty Robbins), "Walkin' After Midnight" (Patsy Cline), "Jolene" (Dolly Parton), "Kiss an Angel Good Morning" (Charley Pride) and "Mama Tried" (Merle Haggard). Neither the greatest country legends (obvious omissions include Gene Autry, Johnny Cash, Buck Owen, Jimmie Rodgers, Mel Tillis, Hank Williams and Tammy Wynette), nor even necessarily the featured artists' best songs, this c&w grab bag is an optional purchase.
