5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection, June 24, 2002

As usual, this is an excellent set of music. This album includes music from both Starday and King eras and is a good overall sampler of Moon's career.

Although not as wellknown as Elvis Presley, there is no doubting the similarities between Moon and Elvis: both were very versatile singers, were regarded as the King of their chosen field, had countless imitators and derivatives and loved black music.

This CD displays Moon Mullican's unique versatility: from oldtimey country like "Wabash cannonball" to a raunchy cover of Roy Brown's "Grandpa stole my baby" to ragtimey tracks like "Ragged but right" And "Magnolia rag" to originals like "Trifling woman blues", "Pipeliner blues" & "What have I done", Moon [to forgive the pun] shines throughout. No matter what the genre, he sings and plays with equal enthusiasm and ability and can effortlessly switch from one to the other at will.

4.0 out of 5 stars moon the legend, January 26, 2007

Well, this disc is a pretty good collection of moon's material. If you are an audiophile you will be let down by the hiss and pops (obviously 45's that were recorded into a digital format) as well as volume changes throughout the disc. BUT, if you are a fan of moon you don't expect hifi recordings. This package has some of moon's hottest tracks (though I wouldn't go so far as to say that all 22 are great hits). Maybe I am biased as moon is my (get ready for this) great great great uncle.

2.0 out of 5 stars Moon Mullican not at his best, December 11, 2007

Ouch this is painful to say, but pass on this CD unless you just want to have everything Moon Mullican did. This CD is was done late in Moon's career and is not his original stuff. It sounds like it Moon, his piano and maybe a guitar player playing in a hotel room someplace. The tape recorder used on this recording in the 1950's is very so so.

Moon has so much great stuff, but buy everything else he has out there before this CD>

Still its Moon Mullican so that's worth two stars
