5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Anthology Of Original Columbia Recordings (1967-1971), February 20, 2009

By	Boomertunes (Illinois USA) - See all my reviews

In the mid 1960's, honky tonker Ray Price began taking his music in a different direction. The swinging fiddles which graced his barroom shuffles evolved into lush violins that showcased his rich voice on haunting ballads. This transformation opened the door to create some of Price's greatest hits and produced several all time country classics as well.
"All Time Greatest Hits/All American Country" is a straight reissue of Columbia's "All Time Greatest Hits" from 1972.
Featuring twenty tracks, the selections are from seven LPs: "Danny Boy"(1967), "Take Me As I Am" (1968), "She Wears My Ring" (1968), "Sweetheart Of The Year"(1969), "You Wouldn't Know Love" (1969), "For The Good Times"(1970), and "I Won't Mention It Again" (1971).
Included are "countrypolitan" remakes of his early hits "Crazy Arms" and "Heartaches By The Number"; pop covers "By The Time I Get To Phoenix", "Little Green Apples", Yesterday", and "Bridge Over Troubled Water"; and Mickey Newbury's "Sweet Memories".
Of special note are the interpretations selected from the Kristofferson catalog: "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", "Loving Her Was Easier", and "I'd Rather Be Sorry".
The highlights, of course, are two Price signature songs-"For The Good Times" and "I Won't Mention It Again", both #1 chart songs and certified country classics.
All in all, a generous selection of songs representing a classic period for the Nashville Sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous CD, January 4, 2007

By	Stacia Cowan "Stacia" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the record almost 20 years ago and was so happy to find it on CD. I could also sit and listen to it for hours. It is Ray Price at his best.
