3.0 out of 5 stars Good collection for now, December 3, 2003

This review is from: Good Ole Mountain Dew (Audio CD)

These recordings are from Grandpa's years on Monument records (1960's & 1970's). Remember, his most well known songs were on King Records.

There are no notes or recordind dates.

Good for a budget price.

This review is from: Good Ole Mountain Dew (Audio CD)

I've managed to acquire several Grandpa Jones albums over the years, and I must say that the sound quality on this album far exceeds that of any other in my collection. I assume these are later recordings, as real classics such as Old Rattler differ significantly from the versions I am familiar with. All I know for sure is that all ten of these tracks sound great and are basically free of any noticeable audio distortions. What makes Good Ole Mountain Dew a favorite of mine is its mix of great songs I already know with several I had not heard before. Grandpa Jones puts a great deal of energy and fun into favorites such as Mountain Dew, Old Rattler, Eight More Miles to Louisville, Night Train to Memphis, T For Texas, and my personal favorite Are You From Dixie? Old Blue is a wonderful tribute to a dog other than good old Rattler. The real magic here, though, is to be found in King of the Canyon County Hills and Banjo Sam. These are two terrific songs that number among Grandpa's best of all time. I know bluegrass songs are generally pretty short, and there are only ten tracks included on this CD, but this is an album every fan of Grandpa Jones or of bluegrass in general should absolutely love.

Many of the songs on this CD my father used to sing in the shower-which

the neighbors used to love. This CD brings back many memories aside from

having wonderful banjo music-I love Grandpa Jones singing and yodelling-

which my dad would do. I love the songs about Rattler and Old Blue-when

I play Old Blue my corgi knows its time for a walk.

I appreciate being able to order country music from Amazon-and have

several other Grandpa Jones CDs which I enjoy-and have sent several to

relatives in Australia who get a kick out of them-or so they say.
