This is another great group of country hit's.
Seven of ten tracks were number one hit's.

The biggest song of 1959 was the #1 hit by Johnny Horton,
'The battle of New Orleans', it stayed on the chart for 10 weeks.

The track listing, including the artist:
1. 'The battle of New Orleans' -- Johnny Horton.
2. 'Don't take your guns to town' -- Johnny Cash.
3. 'Billy Bayou' -- Jim Reeves.
4. 'I ain't never' -- Webb Pierce.
5. 'White lightning' -- George Jones.
6. 'Waterloo' -- Stonewall Jackson.
7. 'The three bells' -- The Browns.
8. 'Under your spell again' -- Buck Owens.
9. 'Country girl' -- Faron Young.
10. 'There's a big wheel' -- Wilma Lee & Stoney Cooper.

These 3 songs weren't #1 hit's'
but they all landed with-in the top five.
'I ain't never' -- Webb Pierce.
'Under your spell again' -- Buck Owens.
'There's a big wheel' -- Wilme Lee & Stoney Cooper.

As always this series delivers great country music.

If you care specifically about 1959 and country music, there are some classics here and it's a cheap package. If you don't know the songs, trust me, they are decent for their genre. It's just that most of them can be found on compilations of the artists' "hits". It's your choice. Again, it's cheap and a bargain if you care for the songs.
