CD ReviewsA+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jess | Coal Country, PA | 11/09/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have hundreds of CD's, LP's, and Cassettes filled with the finest country music ever recorded. BUT, this one is worth every red cent you pay!!! There is absolutely no way you can claim to be a country music fan, and not have this album; it will literally blow you away. Anyone who has a passing knowledge of Country Music, knows the Louvin Brothers; but Charlie Louvin also has a solo career that produced absolutely superb songs. This album contains 20 of his hits, and brilliantly displays Charlies voice (and it's evolution) in each number. You can hear the remnant voice of the Louvin Brothers, as well the influences of early George Jones. If I didn't know any better, I'd say Charlie took over where George Jones left off in the ealy 70's, as there are even 3 duets with Jones' original partner, Melba Montgomery. The first number "I Dont Love You Anymore" is absolute Gold, as is "Will You Visit Me on Sundays?". There are a few tongue-in-cheek songs reminiscent of Roger Miller, as "What Are Those Things with Big Black Wings" and "You Finally Said Something Good When You Said Goodbye". Just one listen to this album will cause you turn your head in disgust at the sounds coming from today's "Country Music"....It really does not get any better than this. A+" Charlie's post-Louvin Brothers best Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 03/30/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "A great collection of Charlie Louvin's best solo work from the 1960s and '70s, after the breakup of the legendary Louvin Brothers duo (and the tragic death of his brother, Ira, in a 1965 auto accident...) Although he never quite hit the same heights as he did with his brother, Charlie Louvin had considerable commercial success on his own, and recorded a lot of fun stuff. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue music reviews)" I Loved Every Song Mark Bailey | Indianapolis IN USA | 01/17/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is classic County music at its best. Charlie is down-to-earth and has a very fine voice that sounds quite a bit like George Jones (one of the finest voices you'll ever hear). He has some duets with Melba Montgomery on this CD that are priceless. This is my second Charlie Louvin CD; I 'spect I'll be buyin' more."
