Amazing I'm the first reviewer... Given what's currently on the market, this wonderful CD is the best single (emphasis on single) CD on the market. Given 20 tracks - and that's generous for RCA - it'd be hard to choose any better. This is a very balanced look at his career from 1947 (his first #1 hit) to 1967 (his next-to-last #1). Plus, these are the original versions of Eddy's biggest hits - he recorded some of them three or four times.

The thing is, Eddy Arnold is country music's #1 all-time artist, charting 145 Billboard country singles, including 28 #1 hits. Wow! It's time for RCA to put out a boxed set, and it's unbelievable they haven't already done so.

The Bear Family box ('Tennessee Plowboy') is great (and expensive), and the Proper box ('Eddy's Song') is great (and cheap), but both cover only the early years. Those songs were spectacular, twangy country records, but most fans also want Eddy's smooth countrypolitan music of the late 50's and 60's. So, until RCA uncorks that boxed set, 'The Ultimate' is your best bet.

This CD has moved up to my "Favorites" pile. The clear, sweet voice of Eddy Arnold is so refreshing. Eddy Arnold has a wide vocal range, and wait till you hear "Cattle Call"! No screaching or yelling. All of the music on this one brings such pleasure. It is hard to find real talent these days, but you won't be sorry with this one. It is a true treasure. Each song tells a story, and brings back memories of my own life's experiences. Get this one, and take a walk down your own memory lane. A fine collection of wonderful music. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Great collection, the ultimate in every way. Eddy Arnold just as you remember him. The recording is superb. I bought a similar compilation on another label a few years back and the quality was very poor. This is just fine.

I bought this CD for the song "Turn the World Around the Other Way," but I enjoyed all the songs, and I especially appreciated the mellow voice of Eddie Arnold. He is great.

My Mom looked for this all over and I found it on Amazon. My Mom loves this CD.

I love this one. It is vintage Eddy Arnold. Truly 5 stars for this one

This is definately the "Ultimate Eddy Arnold"... All of my Eddy Arnold favorites, plus more are on this CD... This is Eddy Arnold at his best! If you are an Eddy Arnold fan, this is a must have CD...

Eddy Arnold was one of the "oldies" - his soothing voice and easy sounds still make me woozy. Best of the best!

I have an Eddy Arnold record that I liked very much (Eddy Arnold Sings them Again). But these versions of some of the same songs,I don't know quite how to say it,were too country(ish). On the record that I have, he sings the songs more contemporary. I wore out the first one and bought a used one in good condition. I had the first Lp for 40 years. Yes, I am old.

Lots of good songs. Sound quality is good. Just listening makes you wish more CW singers would bring back Eddy's approach and mellow tones.
