5.0 out of 5 stars
Nobody else like him..., May 18, 2007
This review is from: Misery Loves Company (Audio CD)
Although he had a carefully-cultivated image as a hillbilly nut, Porter Wagoner was one of the finest traditional singers of his time. This swell collection captures him at his best, tilting towards his novelty material, all of which is quite good. It fills a real gap, though, since other CD-edition best-ofs skip over rollicking gems such as "Sorrow On The Rocks" and his fab, cheerfully cornball gospel recitation, "What Would You Do If Jesus Came To Your House..." There's no one else like Porter, and this is a mighty fine introduction to his work!
