BEST OF/20TH CENTURY - CD

Includes liner notes by Rich Kienzle. Digitally remastered by Jim Phillips (MCA Music Studios, North Hollywood, California). This is part of MCA 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection series. Liner Note Author: Rich Kienzle. Recording information: 04/26/1941-12/21/1966. While the 20th CENTURY MASTERS discs aren't always the best place to begin exploring a given artists, when the music is as consistently classic as that found on the Ernest Tubb edition, the argument is irrelevant. These 12 songs--including "Walking the Floor Over You," "Drivin Nails in My Coffin," and "Waltz Across Texas"--are a blueprint for tear-in-your-beer, sawdust-on-the-floor, honky-tonkin' country. Anyone pondering a broken heart should have an Ernest Tubb record no more than an arm's length away, and with its bare-bones packaging and budget price, 20th CENTURY MASTERS will do just fine.
