Editorial Reviews

Two original LPs from the King of Psychotronic Country. Very First Time On CD. In the early 1970s Porter Wagoner was at an artistic peak and a personal trough. With hit recordings and a popular T.V show his career was in full bloom yet dark clouds were gathering over his relationship with Dolly Parton and his private life. Presented here for the very first time on CD are Porter's two greatest LPs from this era, both full of stark autobiographical moments. Most notorious of these is 'The Rubber Room', a 1971 chart hit over-brimming with pain and insanity. Other highlights abound, 'If I Lose My Mind' and 'Comes And Goes' both explore similar tortured terrain, while 'Albert Erving' describes a broken recluse and 'Be A Little Quieter' a man tormented by his ghosts. Remastered with love and care from the original RCA Victor master tapes and presented with exclusive liner notes, rare photos from Porter's private collection and a generous clutch of extra tracks (including a rare duet with Merle Haggard). Porter Wagoner was a consummate showman, songwriter and performer who clothed the darkest jewels from the human heart in a purple sequined countrypolitan sheen. Remastered 2010 from the original RCA Victor master tapes! Deluxe packaging, 20 page full colour booklet with scholarly liner notes, rare photos from Porter's private collection, memorabilia etc. First ever release on CD for 26 tracks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection from Porter!!, September 10, 2010
A Kid's Review
This review is from: What Ain't To Be, Just Might Happen (featuring The Rubber Room) (Audio CD)
What a great release here!!This CD goes way beyond your typical 2 albums/1 CD
format(which in itself would have been great).There are 10 additional songs here
as bonus material from various Porter albums in the 70's...(3 of which are from 45's.)The sound is stunning........To me,these are Porters best recordings---
the man was a lyrical genious.I don't need to go on and on about how great he is----you should already know.Buy this without hesitation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walk on Fool, August 17, 2011
This review is from: What Ain't To Be, Just Might Happen (featuring The Rubber Room) (Audio CD)
I've got all these tracks on vinyl,(in the shed!)so it'll be great to hear them again.I notice that You Gotta Have A Licence is on from the album of the same name,great,but i'm dissappointed that Walk On Fool,one of my favourites isn't.(I used to do that one with my band!)Keep them coming please?
