 | "Toby Keith - Greatest Hits, Vol. 1" list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99 by Mercury Nashville Audio CD
(20 October, 1998)
(28 reviews)  Editorial Review: As a survey of Toby Keith's first four recordings (not including the seasonal Christmas to Christmas), this set turns in some strong singles, making the case for the Okie singer-songwriter as one of the more traditionally minded of the '90s hat acts. |
 | 16 Biggest Hits list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 Audio CD
(02 February, 1999)
(18 reviews)  Editorial Review: Too much of Cash's best work is left out to make this collection anything more than a cursory introduction to country's Man in Black. The double-CD compilation, fittingly dubbed The Man in Black, at least allows for some deeper exploration (although it lacks any liner notes whatsoever), |
 | 20 Greatest Hits list: $16.98 - our price: $13.99 by Capitol Audio CD
(01 July, 1991)
(18 reviews)  Editorial Review: This robust collection is as good a place as any to start for those interested in revisiting Kenny Rogers's long, glorious run on the country and pop charts through the 1970s and early 1980s. It includes early countrified milestone hits like "Lucille" and "The Gambler," |
 | 20 of Hank Williams' Greatest Hits list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99 by Mercury Nashville Audio CD
(17 October, 1990)
(10 reviews)  Editorial Review: Hank 101. Country 101. After 27 years in print as 24 Greatest Hits, Mercury kindly reduced it to 20 Greatest Hits. It's still excellent value, and it's still sobering to realize that Hank recorded just 66 songs during his lifetime, |
 | 30th Anniversary Celebration list: $39.98 - our price: $35.99 by Mercury Nashville Audio CD
(05 December, 1995)
(10 reviews)  Customer Review: Brilliant collection of a unique quartet: The line-up of the Statler brothers was Harold Reid, Lew DeWitt, Phil Balsley and Don Reid (Harold's brother) when they cut their first record, |
 | 40 #1 Hits list: $24.98 - our price: $22.99 by Capitol Audio CD
(23 March, 2004)

 | 42 Ultimate Hits list: $20.98 - our price: $16.99 by Capitol Audio CD
(01 June, 2004)
(8 reviews)  Customer Review: Great CD for a great career: This CD is a must for any Kenny Rogers fans. From his First Edition songs to the new releases, Kenny's voice sounds spectacular. |
 | 50 Number Ones list: $24.98 - our price: $19.99 by Mca Nashville Audio CD
(05 October, 2004)
Editorial Review: When George Strait's "She'll Leave You With a Smile" moved to the top of the country charts in early 2003, the handsome Lone Star crooner bested Conway Twitty for the most No. 1 singles by a solo artist. |
 | 50 Years of Hits list: $30.98 - our price: $24.99 by Bandit Records Audio CD
(09 November, 2004)
|
 | A Ghost Is Born list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 by Nonesuch Audio CD
(22 June, 2004)
(142 reviews)  Customer Review: Been Waiting Too Long: I'd give it four stars in the LP era, where I'd have to listen through the 15 minute static noises of "Less Than You Think". |
 | A Very Special Acoustic Christmas list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 by Lost Highway Audio CD
(21 October, 2003)
(5 reviews)  Editorial Review: Every year since 1987, there's been A Very Special Christmas record of one sort or another, the proceeds of which go to the Special Olympics. This year's A Very Special Acoustic Christmas is as great as any previous year's efforts, |
 | A Wonderful World list: $13.98 - our price: $9.99 Audio CD
(05 November, 2002)
(46 reviews)  Editorial Review: Never mind the project's odd couple, "He's got a girlfriend; so does she" marketing shuck. This is a musical love affair in all its splendor. Produced by the seemingly chameleonic producer T Bone Burnett (who previously revived traditional bluegrass with spectacular success on O Brother, |

 | Alabama Christmas list: $6.98 - our price: $5.99 by Bmg Special Prod. Audio CD
(07 April, 1998)
(19 reviews)  Customer Review: It just feels like Christmas!!: This has got to be my favorite Christmas CD ever! Each song is wonderful, but my all-time favorite is "Homecoming Christmas". |
 | Alan Jackson - Greatest Hits Collection list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99 by Arista Audio CD
(24 October, 1995)
(45 reviews)  Editorial Review: As a superstar who's revered by both the young country audience and traditionalists, Alan Jackson is at his finest when he's steers clear of trifles like "Chattahoochie" and takes those youngerfans to school. |
 | Alison Krauss & Union Station - Live list: $19.98 - our price: $14.99 by Rounder / Pgd Audio CD
(05 November, 2002)
(92 reviews)  Editorial Review: This two-CD, 25-song set, recorded in Louisville on two nights in the spring of 2002, finds bluegrass's most celebrated crossover band at the top of its game. Krauss's warm, feathery vocals, capable of conveying complex emotions in a single note, |
 | All I Want for Christmas Is A Real Good Tan list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99 by Bna Records Audio CD
(07 October, 2003)
(16 reviews)  Customer Review: CountryInterviewsOnline.net: Before I got this CD, I had already decided, because of the title, that I wasn?t going to like it. I had to review it so I put it on the CD player. It?s |
 | All I Want for Christmas Is You list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99 by Waldoxy Records Audio CD
(08 December, 1995)
(25 reviews)  Customer Review: My very favorite Christmas CD!: This is one outstanding Christmas CD -- it would be outstanding if it only contained the title cut. |
 | Amazing Grace: His Greatest Sacred Performances list: $29.98 - our price: $26.99 Audio CD
(25 October, 1994)
(30 reviews)  Customer Review: I loved this CD: Elvis Presley is a legend and has a marvelous voice but when he sings gospel music, no one can top him. When Elvis sings these songs, |
 | American IV: The Man Comes Around list: $13.98 - our price: $11.99 by Lost Highway Audio CD
(05 November, 2002)
(236 reviews)  Editorial Review: On first thought, the idea of the Man in Black recording such covers as "Bridge over Troubled Water," "Danny Boy," and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" might seem odd, even for an artist who's been able to put his personal stamp on just about everything. |
 | American Recordings list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99 by Lost Highway Audio CD
(05 March, 2002)
(61 reviews)  Editorial Review: In 1994 Cash stunned the music world with this commanding collection of 13 solo acoustic performances that roll from gospel to cowboy to sarcastic folk. Minimalism had long been Cash's meal ticket, but this time around, |
 | Anthology of American Folk Music (Edited by Harry Smith) list: $84.98 - our price: $76.49 by Smithsonian Folkways Audio CD
(19 August, 1997)
(24 reviews)  Editorial Review: This impressive--and frankly, fun--musical document is still sending out shock waves almost 50 years after its original 1952 vinyl release. The Smithsonian's six-CD reissue is painstakingly researched, annotated, and packaged (even boasting an enhanced disc for the techno-capable). |
 | Appalachian Stomp: Bluegrass Classics list: $11.98 - our price: $7.99 by Rhino Records Audio CD
(28 February, 1995)
(9 reviews)  Editorial Review: Appalachian Stomp is an ideal starter disc for those just beginning to explore bluegrass. Mostly this is because its 18 selections are so immediately accessible. The "classics" here, in other words, are usually those infrequent bluegrass cuts to have gained radio recognition beyond a core bluegrass audience. |
 | Ashgrove list: $16.98 - our price: $13.99 by Yep Roc Records Audio CD
(15 June, 2004)
(8 reviews)  Editorial Review: As a teenager Dave Alvin frequented legendary L.A. blues clubs like the Ashgrove, where he soaked up the licks and the spirit of T-Bone Walker and Big Joe Turner. Alvin's first collection of new songs in six years repays these debts with the meanest electric blues he's ever played--and some of his most vivid, |
 | At Folsom Prison list: $11.98 - our price: $8.99 Audio CD
(19 October, 1999)
(63 reviews)  Editorial Review: Johnny Cash had been breaking new ground for a decade when At Folsom Prison suddenly made the world at large take notice. The interaction of a volatile prison population starved for entertainment and a desperately on-form Johnny Cash was electrifying. |
 | Barricades & Brickwalls list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(12 February, 2002)
(65 reviews)  Editorial Review: The hard-edged title cut kicking off this disc suggests that Kasey Chambers might be exploring an entirely different frontier than she did on her 2000 debut, The Captain, but the dozen tracks that follow are much more in line with the sparkling country-folk of her first album. |
 | Be Here list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 by Capitol Audio CD
(21 September, 2004)
Editorial Review: Australian-born Keith Urban, hot off the double-platinum success of his 2002 sophomore album, Golden Road, is kind of like contemporary country's Tom Cruise. The kid is just so unjustly talented, likeable, |
 | Being There list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(29 October, 1996)
(71 reviews)  Editorial Review: Wilco's follow-up to A.M. impresses first with its size: 19 tunes fill the double-CD package, and the packaging unfolds like a larger-than-life 1970s-era gatefold album cover. But the love affair with the artwork is short-lived, |
 | Bering Strait list: $13.98 - our price: $13.98 by Universal South Audio CD
(14 January, 2003)
(73 reviews)  Editorial Review: Nashville has long been abuzz about Bering Strait, six classically trained Russian musicians who play country and bluegrass music as if they grew up in Omaha, not Obninsk. But after four years and five record labels with no record released, |
 | Between Here And Gone list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 Audio CD
(27 April, 2004)
(49 reviews)  Editorial Review: Mary Chapin Carpenter's first album of new material in three years has been hailed as a fine example of pop music for adults. This is both true and misleading. In changing producers (from John Jennings to celebrated piano man Matt Rollings), |
 | Beyond the Season list: $15.98 by Capitol Audio CD
(25 August, 1992)
(13 reviews)  Customer Review: Beyond The season was great album: I love this album esp the song the gift which is so touching. i recommend every Country fan or garth brooks fan to add this one to there collection. |

|
 | Blacklisted list: $15.98 - our price: $13.99 by Bloodshot Records Audio CD
(20 August, 2002)
(65 reviews)  Editorial Review: Neko Case's third solo effort is a moody, atmospheric affair that both satisfies and mystifies. Recorded in Tucson with a stellar band that includes Calexico's Joey Burns and John Convertino, Blacklisted charms you with its haunting, |
 | Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill list: $18.98 - our price: $13.49 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(26 October, 2004)
|
 | Bluegrass & White Snow: A Mountain Christmas list: $9.98 - our price: $9.98 Audio CD
(29 October, 2002)
(18 reviews)  Editorial Review: O Santa, where art thou? Patty Loveless's big voice almost upstages such stately hymns here as "Away in a Manager" and "Silent Night." That said, this is one of 2002's most satisfying Christmas albums regardless of genre. |
 | Born to Fly list: $17.98 - our price: $13.99 Audio CD
(10 October, 2000)
(96 reviews)  Editorial Review: With Three Chords and the Truth, her 1997 debut album, Missouri-born Sara Evans not only wowed listeners with her superb vocal chops, but also boldly and unpretentiously staked claim to a neo-traditionalist style that suggested she'd done a lot of listening to Loretta Lynn and the late Tammy Wynette in her younger days. |
 | Brand New Strings list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99 by Skaggs Family Audio CD
(28 September, 2004)
Editorial Review: Veteran mandolinist and singer Ricky Skaggs teaches his new strings some old tricks on this collection, which draws from traditional bluegrass and contemporary country alike. Skaggs has long emphasized the brighter and bouncier side of his music; |
 | Brand New Year list: $11.98 - our price: $10.99 by Lyric Street Audio CD
(26 September, 2000)
(44 reviews)  Editorial Review: The award for the most original Christmas album for 2000 goes hands down to the three Osborn sisters--Kristyn, Kelsi, and Kassidy--of Shedaisy for their ambitious pop-rock mini-masterpiece Brand New Year. |
 | Breath Of Heaven: A Christmas Collection list: $7.98 - our price: $5.99 by Mca Special Products Audio CD
(27 August, 2002)
(25 reviews)  Editorial Review: Following The Key, Gill's hardest country album to date, the Christmas album Breath of Heaven turns so far in the other direction it hardly seems like the same man's work. Don't expect steel guitar and fiddles here: This is pure symphonic pop and a kind of ode to the cinematic string arrangements--not of Nashville, |
 | Breathe list: $13.98 - our price: $8.99 by Warner Brothers Audio CD
(09 November, 1999)
(325 reviews)  Editorial Review: From the suggestive series of photos in the CD's packaging to the aerobicized dance-floor workouts within, Faith Hill refuses to concede an inch of crossover dominance to Shania Twain. Except for a seductive duet with husband Tim McGraw on "Let's Make Love" and an occasional pinch of fiddle or steel guitar, |
 | Brooks & Dunn - Greatest Hits list: $18.98 - our price: $13.99 by Arista Audio CD
(16 September, 1997)
(40 reviews)  Editorial Review: Is there a more dependable hit-making duo in music than Brooks & Dunn? Not likely. Since their debut album in 1991, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn--two middling solo artists who turned out to be dynamite once paired together by a savvy record executive--have charted consistently with songs of various tempos and temperaments. |
 | Can't You Hear Me Callin: Bluegrass 80 Years list: $49.98 - our price: $39.99 Audio CD
(28 September, 2004)
Editorial Review: No musician in modern times has cast a greater shadow over a genre of music than Bill Monroe. Indeed, the father of bluegrass's sway over the music he nurtured is so overwhelming that the casual fan might forget that his predecessors laid the groundwork for his revolutionary innovations, |
 | Car Wheels on a Gravel Road list: $13.98 - our price: $12.99 by Mercury / Universal Audio CD
(30 June, 1998)
(247 reviews)  Editorial Review: Six years in the making, Car Wheels somehow lives up to its lofty expectations because of Williams's direct songwriting and her wonderfully unaffected vocals. With assistance from cohorts such as Steve Earle, |

 | Christmas to Christmas list: $6.98 - our price: $5.99 by Pgd Special Markets Audio CD
(09 August, 2000)
(9 reviews)  Editorial Review: Toby Keith's got a big heart, judging by the songs he's written and the songs he's chosen to sing on Christmas to Christmas. Many show concern for the homeless ("Santa I'm Right Here") or disdain for the crass commercialization of the season--told through the voice of a small girl ("Jesus Gets Jealous of Santa Claus")--and other timely sentiments. |
 | Christmas to Christmas list: $10.99 - our price: $5.99 by Mca Special Products Audio CD
(01 June, 1995)
(6 reviews)  Customer Review: A wonderful Christmas album: This album, recorded at the height of Lee's popularity in the eighties, is exactly what his fans expected of him. |
 | Christmas with the Oak Ridge Boys [MCA] list: $7.98 - our price: $5.99 by Mca Special Products Audio CD

 | Classic Christmas list: $9.98 - our price: $9.98 Audio CD
(17 October, 2000)
(32 reviews)  Editorial Review: The prepubescent country-singing wonder did his homework for his first Christmas CD. Covering a handful of classics from "White Christmas" and "The Christmas Song" to "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and "Jingle Bell Rock," |
 | Close Harmony list: $203.98 - our price: $203.98 by Bear Family Audio CD
(26 May, 1994)
(5 reviews)  Editorial Review: Of all the great harmonies in country music, the greatest belong to Ira and Charlie Louvin. Born three years apart on a red-clay Alabama farm, the Louvin Brothers took the sisterly harmonies of the Carter Family and the brotherly tightness of the Monroe and Callahan brothers to new, |
