3.0 out of 5 stars
Great, but..., January 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Charley Pride - 24 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Being a big fan of Charley Pride, I truly enjoyed this CD. But, It seems that most (if not all) of the recordings are not the original releases. It's definitely Charley Pride, they are definitely classic songs, he sounds great, but it is disappointing to be "duped" this way. Not even on the CD cover does it mention that these are "re-recordings". If you are looking for a "greatest hits" collection of the original recordings, look elsewhere.

Lloyd If You'll Start Us Off, December 9, 2002
This review is from: Charley Pride - 24 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
That is how he stated it in his live albumn years ago now. And Lloyd Greene on his pedal steel guitar layed down some of the finest steel work ever when you listen to, "I Know One." Joe Talbert also worked with Charley and the heavy steel influence was so evident, and so good. Listen, Charley Pride was no fluke. I have a flyer that was tacked to a light pole in Texas, when he first appeared at the "Cowtown Ballroom" in Ft. Worth. You all should hear the live albumn to appreciate the fact many people did not know that Charley was not the typical country music performer. But a hush fell on that crowd, and when he sang, "Just Between You and Me." They were all made believers. So will you.

All Remakes, August 12, 2005
This review is from: Charley Pride - 24 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Later in his career Charley Pride did a massive recording session where he re-recorded all his biggest hits.
At the time it was well intentioned because almost all of the original versions of these songs were unavailable.
But be forewarned, the songs on this disc are all remakes, well done, but nonetheless, remakes.
