5.0 out of 5 stars Two classic albums from one of country's finest singers, September 2, 2003

By	Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This UK release is a straight re-issue of two of Lynn's original albums on one CD. The same two CD's were released in the USA as Golden classic edition, but with a few extra tracks.

Both albums contain plenty of covers. Indeed, Rose garden was itself a cover. It was written by Joe South and originally appeared on the same album of his that included Games people play (which has also been covered by Lynn, but her version has never appeared on CD). Lynn had a major international hit with it, going high in the pop charts in Britain, America and many other countries.

Among the songs covered by Lynn on the Rose Garden album are For the good times (Kris Kristofferson), Another lonely night (Jean Shepherd), I don't want to play house (Tammy Wynette), Snowbird (Anne Murray), Sunday morning coming down (Kris Kristofferson) and It's only make believe (Conway Twitty). The original songs include two co-written by her then-husband (Your sweet love lifted me, I wish I was a little boy again) and Nothing between us, a song Lynn wrote herself.

The second album is You're my man. The title track, one of four songs that Glenn Sutton wrote or co-wrote, was a huge country hit. Most, if not all, of the other songs are covers, including Knock three times (Tony Orlando and Dawn), Proud Mary (Creedence Clearwater Revival), Help me make it through the night (Kris Kristofferson), Put your hand in the hand (first recorded by Anne Murray) and Joy to the world (Three dog night).

This is an excellent collection but you don't need it if you have the Golden classics edition.
