2.0 out of 5 stars
Ugh... All songs are re-recorded or alternate versions, April 20, 2007
This review is from: Johnny Paycheck - 20 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
I bought this album expecting to hear my favorite Johnny Paycheck songs, but I was disappointed with it. All of the songs are re-recordings or alternate versions.... Not the versions of the songs that you've heard on the radio and know and love. The information on the CD does not provide any indication of when these songs were recorded, but it sounds like they were recorded by a MUCH OLDER Johnny Paycheck than the original recordings.
Heaven's Almost As Big As Texas -- the version on this album doesn't have any of the punch of the original.
I subsequently bought The Soul and the Edge, and was much happier with that, thought to get Heaven's Almost As Big as Texas, I ended up also ordering the album, Take This Job and Shove it.
Oh well.
