5.0 out of 5 stars Much needed collection, September 25, 2003

These are the original recordings of Hank Locklin's hit songs. No need to look around any more. Aside from the Bear Family Boxed sets, this is the only collection with the original versions available.

The booklet has recording dates and session musicans listed anlong with an essay.

I would say this is the definate Hank Locklin.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Collection, April 2, 2006

Here's an artist easily forgotten, although his talent is nothing short of stellar. Hank Locklin was somehow able to tie the original Honky Tonk sound with the Nashville sound that made him a favorite of fans from both categories of country music. This "Best of..." collection includes all of his biggest hits, including "Send Me the Pillow" and "Please Help Me I'm Falling"; although his best vocal work can be found in "Geisha Girl" and "Followed Closely By My Teardrops". These are origianl recordings and the sound is as good as it gets. A+

Hank Locklin was a fine country singer in both the honky tonk and Nashville Sound styles. This CD is a much welcomed reissued collection of his hits including the classics "Please Help Me I'm Falling" and "Send Me the Pillow." Check out the organ playing by Ray Stevens on "Bonaparte's Retreat"! An essential addition to any country music collection.
