5.0 out of 5 stars "Johhny Horton Makes History" tracks, March 18, 2000

By 

Kevin J Simon (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 1956-60 (Audio CD)

This boxed set is special because it is the ONLY way to own and hear ALL the tracks from Johnny Horton's greatest and BEST selling LP: "Johnny Horton Makes History" As a farm boy growing up in the 50's, my brother and I learned and memorized EVERY song from this GREAT LP. We then were required by our elementary school teachers to sing these special songs on demand for ANY class in our rural K-12 school. And sing them we did. These Johhny Horton songs remain an IMPORTANT and LASTING link to my childhood and along with the American Civil War Centenial of 1961 kindeled a life-long love of history. I am now a High School History teacher and still use these songs to entertain and TEACH my students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Johnny Comes Back To Life!, December 21, 2000

By 

Daniel J. McCartney (Toledo, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Johnny Horton - 1956-1960 (Audio CD)

I've been a diehard Johnny Horton fan my entire life, which always made my taste in music kind of odd to my friends, since I grew up in the 70's and 80's. I distinctly recall the very first time I ever heard of Johnny Horton; I overheard my mother singing "The Battle Of New Orleans' as a kid back in 1975, and I've been hooked ever since! These powerful collections put out by the Bear Family provided me with songs and history on Johnny that I had been searching for all of my life. I could have researched him forever, but without these box sets, my efforts would have been in vain. Johnny Horton 1956-1960 will provide you with wonderful listening and the enclosed booklet, with biography and pictures, will truly bring Johnny back to life!
