This review is from: Honky Tonks, Truckers & Tears: The Billboard Country Chart Hits 1964-1980 (Audio CD)

Red Sovine has long been in need of a serious career retrospective CD, one that looks at both his honky tonk and trucker hits. The wait has been worthwhile because Ace has done its usual bang up job and given us a wonderful collection with excellent liner notes by Ronnie Pugh. All of Red's hits are here, including trucker classics like "Giddy Up Go" and "Teddy Bear." Few people can deliver sentimental fare with as much sincerity as Red did, and he always seems to be able to elevate material that would otherwise be mawkish. Red makes his listeners feel his sincerity in each and every track. There are some very good honky tonk numbers here, with a classic rendition of "Why Baby Why" leading the pack. Redd's music is solid country from the 50s to the 70s and very enjoyable. This is a long needed reissue that fills a hole in the classic country catalog. Dare we dream of a Bear Family box?

I purchased this for two songs mostly but I have come to listen tothe whole cd allot. Though the one song Teddy Bear sounds a little different, I still love to play it
