Couldn't handle stardom

"When T started his career with a string of top ten country hits, he seemed set to become a major star for many years to come and he certainly had the ability but it appears that he couldn't cope and developed an alcohol problem. So after eleven top ten hits, his career was effectively over. T's voice has some similarities with Kenny Rogers and Lee Greenwood though you wouldn't mistake him for either. His music is a mix of blues, rock and country but the country element is strong.



This compilation features the first nine of those hits plus a cover of Power of love (the same song that Charley Pride took up the country charts, not one of the famous pop songs).



T began with two top ten country hits (I tell it like it used to be, I wish that I could hurt that way again) then had two number ones (Hell and high water, Don't go to strangers), three more top ten hits (Brilliant conversationalist, She couldn't love me anymore, The last resort) and two further number ones (Darlene, Come as were). All those hits are included here. His last two top ten his (If you could see me now, Don't go out) are missing. Don't go out, a duet with Tanya Tucker, is available on several of Tanya's compilations.



If you enjoy the music of Kenny Rogers, there's a good chance that you will enjoy the music of T Graham Brown, once thought destined for superstardom but now almost forgotten."

The BEST!!!!!

"Highly recommend owning this CD and the chance to play it over and over, again. Love his songs and the country sound coming through. What a great collection.

Am thrilled to have found a place to get this type of music."
