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.
