Fantastic-- Great singer/songwriter,

This review is from: I Love You Because (Audio CD)
This is a terrific Bear Family project-- a wonderful compilation of excellent East Texas singer's Capitol Records sides (late '40's/early '50's). He draws from the Western swing tradition of Bob Wills and Spade Cooley, but also has some of the simpler, heartfelt honky tonk approach of Hank Williams, and a very nice. expressive tenor voice. He's best known for the hit "I Love You Because," but the whole album has gems that are worth hearing. Excellent, detailed booklet too and interesting bio. George Jones recorded a whole album of Payne's songs, Wilie Nelson cites him as significant early influence and you can see why he's esteemed. This guy is fantastic-- I wish/hope more of his work gets released!!!

Ignored master,

It is our good fortune this collection exists to showcase the tragically ignored Payne. His songs have thankfully lived on in other artists' recordings, but his own versions are more than worth hearing and on occasion, revelatory. If you are interested in the music part of country music you will care about Leon Payne.
