Thank you Amazon..My husband & I have been searching for any Dick Curless songs and have been unsuccessful until now. We first met Dick in the 60's when he toured upstate NY. He was a warm & caring man who loved his music and passed the feeling on to his audience. Another reviewer said she felt "goosebumps" when she heard his music again on the CD's, and I agree. The music world lost a great entertainer when Dick passed away, he sadly never achieved the star billing that he so greatly deserved.The way range of his voice was unreal The set of CD's was purchased as a surprise Christmas gift for my husband, but I couldn't wait that long to hear it. Beautiful music & memories! We have nearly all of his original singles and albums but nothing can compare to this. Anyone hearing him for the first time will want to hear more.!!

Dick Curless has got the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. His music ranges from thought provoking, to toe tapping, beer drinking music. One of his best renditions is Winter's Coming On Again. People who appreciate good music from any genre will love this CD. I can not recommend it highly enough.

Dick Curless,the Hard traveling man from Maine is an accurate statement,a man who dedicated his life to country music, there stood a man who sang a song with a alot of soul, as you'll hear it on these recordings, featuring a four disc box set from the German import co.,The Bear Family. This compilation features the complete Capitol recordings from the 70's and one of the a disc features a live show recorded at a truckers convention in Wheeling, West Virginia. The last sided disc features home recordings recorded by Curless' son-in-law. Curless does this one solo, voice and guitar only,Bear Family received permission from Curless' wife pryor to this rare recording, an interesting listen hearing Dick Curless' rich baritone voice and fine guitar playing,home recordings always capture the true colors of the artist at hand, this is "the Baron" Dick Curless - the traveling man that one time toured with Buck Owens. Both box sets "Traveling Man" and "Tombstone Every Mile", cover the entire career recordings of Dick Curless.
