5.0 out of 5 stars Straight Ahead Lives!, September 7, 2002

This review is from: Larry Gatlin - Greatest Hits/Straight Ahead (Audio CD)

Straight Ahead is by definition Larry Gatlin's masterpiece. The music gives listeners a taste of two different types of music: 1)Larry's conventional folk music and 2)VERY dated late 1970s country music sounds. If you're a fan of the orchestral sounds behind country music you'll love this album. It features Gatlin's hit "All The Gold In California", "Mogen David", and my personal favorite "We're Number One". Gatlin retired to Austin, Texas where he owns a clothing store and can frequently be seen on a church broadcast on Sunday mornings in the Austin/Central Texas area.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Does Not Get Any Better Than This, April 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Larry Gatlin - Greatest Hits/Straight Ahead (Audio CD)

Greatest Hits albums by definition are generally a good way to go, most are populated with hits and songs that have received radio air play. This album is no exception all the tracks are good some are even great, to mention a few, Love is Just a Game. Broken Lady, Night Time Magic, I Don't Wanna Cry, ok I admit it, I like them all.
Straight Ahead is an outstanding album. With the huge hit All The Gold in California (their signature song), two of my favorites, Piece by Piece and We're Number One and a big request at live shows, Midnight Choir, this collection has something for everyone. It has the country band sound of the late 70s and early 80s and features the songwriting talents of Larry as well as the tight harmonies these guys are known for never evidenced more than in the bonus track I'v Done Enough Dyin' Today.
The Brothers retired from the road in 92 but in 2001 embarked on what they call The Neverending Reunion Tour which they claim will go on until it doesn't. If they aren't appearing near you you can also catch their act in Branson during the Fall and Christmas Season.

From the late 70's until now, Larry Gatlin has been an absolute favorite of mine. This CD is full of Gatlin's best vocals; rich, melodic and soulful. His "Midnight Choir" brings tears to my eyes and every song on this CD is pure enjoyment.
