Fantastic!

"This is by far the greatest collection I've seen in some time. All songs are original, which is what I want and apparently is not easy to find. No digitizing, just the pure original sound. 20 songs of Johnny's best. I'll never get tired of listening to it! The small story on Johhny Horton's life inside the cover was great, too bad it was so short. I'd rate it 10 stars of the rating went that high!"

Rally 'round the flag, boys!

"This collection showcases Johnny Horton's fantastic voice and wide range - he could sing it all, from stirring patriotic songs and historical mini-epics to moving ballads and even rockabilly. Of course, all the hits are here, like the irresistible "Battle of New Orleans" (which I listened to incessantly as a kid in the Sixties) and "North to Alaska," to name two personal favorites.They just don't write `em like this any more, and more's the pity. You won't be able to resist singing along, I guar-an-tee it!I regret this collection doesn't include a sentimental favorite of mine, "The Same Old Tale that the Crow Told Me," the flip side of "Sink the Bismarck." Despite that very minor quibble, this is a rousing CD, chock-full of unabashed pride and patriotism. You'll love it."

"I have had this "album" on cassette tape for YEARS! I grew up with this type of music and it's great for road trips -- keeps everyone awake and alert."
