Excuse me, but this is a mixed up version of his "Moody Women" CD. This isn't that good, and it sure isn't the "Best Of" anything. Get his originals first. And you really need to look carefully. Stay away from Honest Entertainment and TeeVee. Stick with RCA, BMG, and Koch.

There are many other Charley Pride albums to pick from that will provide you with more songs. This cd has some good ones but being a Charley Pride fan I would recommend it only if you want to collect a large number of his albums. Looks at albums with 20+ songs.

But then, what else can you expect from the Masters of Deceit at Curb? They have a sad history of throwing out 10- to 12-track CDs blaring "the best of" - and then not delivering.

Here's a man who, inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame in 2000, had 67 Country hits from 1966 to 1989, 29 of them # 1 hits and 23 more Top 10, with 16 cross-overs to the Billboard Pop charts, and in an 11-track volume labeled "Best Of Charley Pride" they present exactly three. His last three, to be exact, which were relatively minor hits on the 16th Avenue label: White Houses (# 49), The More I Do (# 77), and Amy's Eyes (# 28) - all in 1989.

Not one of the other 8 tracks can be remotely described as being among his "best." Avoid this piece of junk at all costs and be thankful that the market is no longer being flooded with Curb releases.

I've always Admired Charley Pride.he is a more than a Country singer.he can flat out Sing.songs such as Can't Stop The Mississippi,You put it there&Moody Woman are Gems.He has Broken Down alot of Barriers when it comes to COuntry Music&a Black Face.he is a true Pioneer.this disc is very essential.
