Part of Universal's massive 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection, this 12-song budget set draws on a cross-section of recordings pulled from his salad days with Decca. Highlights include "Walking the Floor Over You," "Have You Ever Been Lonely," "Waltz Across Texas," "Slippin' Around," and a duet with
Loretta Lynn on "Sweet Thang." Together, the songs make a wonderful introduction to the music of this country legend. ~ Cub Koda
