I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN WHEN REVIEWING THIS CD. ALL OF THE SELECTIONS ON HILLBILLY BOOGIE ARE EXCELLENT. THE SOUND QUALITY IS GREAT. SOME OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES ARE: (1) TAKE IT AWAY, LEON (2) HAMBURGER HOP (3) GEORGIA BOOGIE (4) FIDDLIN BOOGIE (5) GET YOUR KICKS (FROM THE COUNTRY HICKS) (6) NEW BROOM BOOGIE (7) SALTY BOOGIE. ON MANY OCCASIONS I PUT THESE SELECTIONS ON THE REPEAT FUNCTION OF MY CD PLAYER AND LISTEN TO THEM AS MANY AS 6 OR 7 TIMES. THEY ARE THAT GOOD AND I NEVER TIRE OF THEM. I WAS SO AFRAID I MIGHT RUIN THE CD BY LISTENING TO IT SO MUCH, THAT I BOUGHT AN EXTRA COPY, JUST IN CASE. IF YOU BUY THIS CD, I'M SURE YOU WILL FEEL THE SAME WAY. SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT HAS DONE A VERY NICE JOB IN THIS COMPILATION OF CLASSIC COUNTRY AND WESTERN TUNES. IF ANYONE READING THIS KNOWS OF OTHER WESTERN SWING CD'S WORTH BUYING, PLEASE E-MAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW. I ALSO HAVE OTHERS IN MY COLLECTION AS WELL THAT I CAN RECOMMEND.

If you are new to western swing or you're as old as dirt buy this here CD. As said, very good sound quality. I particularly like Curley Williams & His Georgia Peach Pickers (he was a friend of Hank Williams). This collection is an excellent example of how `hillbilly" was drinking from the same jug as R&B.

I OWN A LOT OF THIS TYPE OF MUSIC AND CONCIDER THIS TO BE THE BEST OF THE LOT. YOU WILL NOT GO WRONGE ORDERING THIS ONE .IT IS FAST PACED AND A LOT OF FUN WITH NONE OF THE HISSING BACKGROUND NOISE, EXTREMELY GOOD QUALITY. AFTER LISTENING TO THE VARIOUS ARTIST YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF WANTING MORE FROM THEM ON THEIR OWN.

Don't think too much about it -- just listen, get up and shuffle your feet around! I hope a new generation will rediscover these gems.
