An outstanding compilation of both song and skit. I often play it many times in a row and find myself laughing even though I'm hearing the same routines over and over. Laurel & Hardy's comedic timing and genius transcends the ages and is refreshingly funny in an era of potty-mouthed comedians. And the music is lovely...I can't help but join in singing"Trail of the Lonesome Pines" every time I hear it. I only wish they would come out with a Volume 2.

This CD has 27 tracks for a total of 72 minutes and 57 seconds. The first 26 tracks are from many different Laurel & Hardy movies. Track #27 is "Hal Roach-MGM Present Laurel And Hardy - Part 1 & 2" which is Hardy trying to thank the people of the United Kingdom during a visit there and Laurel keeps interrupting him. Track #27 is a little over 8 minutes long. Very funny. My favorites are: track #8 where L&H & Rosina Lawrence sing "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" from their movie Way Out West, track #12 where Hardy sings "Lazy Moon" from Pardon Us, and track #26 where L&H & Rosina Lawrence sing "Way Down South" from Way Out West. Track #20 where The Avalon Boys sing "At the Ball, That's All" from Way Out West was good too. I loved this CD!
