40 Country Hits / Various

The songs that grace this comprehensive 2CD package all come from the golden age of country music... Often called "white man's blues". For nearly a century now, country music has been captured on cylinder, vinyl, tape and compact disc. In America during the 1950s, while rock & roll battled calypso as the nation's favourite sound, meanwhile in the background, these classic country songs could be heard across the land - all the way from the Gulf of Mexico, right up to the frozen wastes of Minnesota. The 40 songs gathered together here is plain and simple country music - at it's best.
