Biography

Faron Young was one of the most colorful characters country music has ever seen--and country has seen more than its share. Once, he invited a six-year-old girl on stage as he sang. When she refused, he began swearing at the audience. He then stormed offstage, grabbed the child and spanked her repeatedly. He was arrested for assault and found guilty. His wife finally divorced him after she… Read more in Amazon's Faron Young Store

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, January 4, 2005
This review is from: Walk Tall: The Mercury Hit Singles 1963-75 (Audio CD)
When I first received this CD in the mail, I had very high hopes. I had the stereo Mercury LPs which these titles first appeared on. However, over the years they wore out and I was looking to replace some of the songs with digital copies. When I finally put this CD in my player, to say I was extremely disappointed would be an understatement. This has got to be, without a doubt, the most horrendous attempt at mastering for CD release I have EVER encountered. The folks who put this out should be ashamed of themselves!! What a way to treat one of the truly great stylists in the history of country music!! A real shame- -and a sham!!

3.0 out of 5 stars 24 Original Mercury Hits, September 2, 2003
By 
This review is from: Walk Tall: The Mercury Hit Singles 1963-75 (Audio CD)
This import features most of the biggest hits of Farons Mercury years. The original recordings are here but the sound quality could be better as they sound like they may have come off from 2nd or 3rd generation tapes which gives some the songs a slight muddy sound. Most of these songs are hard to find on CD so buy it until something better comes along. Faron Young was one of true Country Giants of his time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some quality country music; bad presentation, September 29, 2004
This review is from: Walk Tall: The Mercury Hit Singles 1963-75 (Audio CD)
It was some time ago now, but as I am a Faron Young fan, I took well-preserved vinyls of my favorites which turned up on this product later, along with some of Faron's earlier works, and recorded them onto a cassette (my own version of his greatest hits). Having no sophisticated recording equipment at the time, I recorded them with an open microphone. Today, they still sound better on my tape player than they do on the compilation here (I never burned a CD). Even so, I question the quality of Mercury's original recordings. "Yellow Bandana", "She Went a Little Bit Farther" and "It's Four in the Morning" evoke special memories for me. They deserve a better presentation, a "do over" maybe.
