5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun forgotten country hits, August 28, 2002
This review is from: Don't Let Me Cross Over (Audio CD)
Best remembered for the early '60s smash, "Don't Let Me Cross Over," the husband and wife team of Carl and Pearl Butler snuck into Nashville at a time when their brand of straightforward hard country singing shouldn't have gotten the time of day, amid all the goopy pop crossovers of the time... Yet, there they were, hitting the charts regularly with their rough, wonderful vocals and dopey songwriting -- plain old hicks with strong country backbeat. Like many of the best old hard country artists, there's very little of their material available in print today. This disc only has ten songs on it, but they're all pretty good, including such winners as "She Didn't come Home" and the moralistic "Temptation Keeps Twisting Her Arm.." Worth checking out!
