(5 out of 5 stars)

"The music within this collection is nothing short of remarkable. All the recordings on this 5 CD set have been remastered to ensure the best quality recordings. This set is the formost Burl Ives collection on the market today. It contains his classic renditions of "Little Bitty Tear", "Mary Ann Regrets", "Pearly Shells", "The Blizzard", "My gal Sal", "Jingle Jangle Jingle". The price in this case indicates the quality and quantity of rare recordings contained in the set. This is an excellent box set that will be a favorite of yours for years to come."

Beware of the negative reviews!

"Somewhere along the line, two different releases are getting mixed up here. I was a little shocked to see Bear Family's commitment to excellence questioned, but it turns out the negative reviews you see below refer to a single CD release that has nothing to do with the box set. Please keep that in mind when considering this purchase. Bear Family will rarely let you down."

Troubadour Extraodinaire!

"Burl Ives! . . . even the sound of his name is like a melodie . . . evoking memories of folk songs and ballads and stories in song as told by the honeyed-tinged voice of this balladeer.

The "Nashville" years to my mind became his "best years" . . . not only was Burl in the best delivery, but the songwriters of then "Nashville" were also the best ever . . . no one since has topped the excellence of the "country ballad and song" since.

This collection is truly a treasure and one to be relished picking through again and again. Each track will bring you joy to experience each time you play it and listen to it . . and you will often and for years to come.

Today's singers and songwriters of Nashville would do well to listen also . . and to learn from thre Master and the Masters who's art brought about these musica; tracks and gems. These songs will be around long after most of today's "flash in the pan" musical celebs are gone and forgotten. A talent like that of Burl Ives is and will remain an American treasure.

Thank you Burl Ives for all of the music and smiles (and the "little bitty tears") that you have brought to our lives with your talent. You are missed these days . . . but yet you remain present in these recordings . . . and for this we can be eternally grateful! :)"
