Of course, I should have followed my own advice when picking up a couple of this series issued about seven years ago by St. Clair Entertainment Group, Inc. Despite what it says on some of the headers here in Amazon, these are NOT the original recordings. In small print on the back its says "This album contains new stereo recordings performed by the featured artists" and, if you read some of the other reviews for the various entries, the sound quality, not to mention the voices themselves (which, in many instances, were getting a little long in the tooth when they did them) range from horrible to mediocre to barely adequate.

Also there are no liner notes nor even a discography of the contents to at least tell you WHEN they were recorded. They are, however, cheap, and if you don't mind re-makes of what were some smash Country hits by some of the best artists ever, then by all means get them.

As far as I can determine, the series covered, in addition to Lee Greenwood: Freddy Fender; Charlie Rich; Waylon Jennings; Buck Owens; Porter Wagoner; Kitty Wells; Lynn Anderson; Willie Nelson; Donna Fargo; Kenny Rogers; Ray Price; Jeannie C. Riley; Merle Haggard; Roger Miller; Faron Young; David Houston; Johnny Paycheck; and Barbara Mandrell.

This is a great CD with some of Lee Greenwood's best works. I highly recommend this cd , it will make a great addition to anyone's collection. It has some of Lee's best songs, including God Bless the U.S.A. Lee Greenwood is one of the best entertainers that I know as well as a really nice guy.
