As an old country music radio jock I have more than a passing interest and knowledge of the music. I recently purchased this CD in a group of "Greatest Hits" albums (CDs).
The music starts off great but then goes downhill when you hear that several of the tracks are presented with "Concerthall" effects. I call it echo.

Locklin always had a pristine clear voice but this presentation simply muddles it up.

If you are a true Locklin fan, as I am, then you should look elsewhere.

It might help to point out that there are two different Hank Locklin packages called "Please Help Me I'm Falling," one is a single-disc collection that I believe is the one that another reviewer says has bad, fake-stereo remastering... The other is a four-CD box set on the Bear Family label, which is pretty much guaranteed NOT to have funky sound quality, and gathers a lot of Locklin's classic work on the RCA label in the 1960s.

Hope this helps sort out the two.

This Hank Locklin Cd brings back fond memories of my collection of Country 45's and lp's from the Fifties and Sixties. An excellent compilation from that era. This is the sound I grew up with.

This is a CD for the real "old fashion" country music lover. It
takes one back to the good old days when country was really county and foot stomping was a good thing.
