Please rate this album:

This is another shoddy ten-track compilation from Gusto, with five tracks from the King/Starday back catalogue and the rest from the Wayne Raney Rimrock sessions that resulted in the A Beautiful Life and An Empty Mansion albums.

Today, probably the best way to get all the King/Starday material is on the excellent The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961 and The King Years, 1961-1965 4xCD sets... Sadly there is no current version in print for the Rimrock material, other than crappy CD-R's.

 

For detailed information on the songs/sessions check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book. For page references, see the Original Release entries.
