Golden Age Of Country

My Dad passed away three weeks ago and this is the music I grew up on. I'm going to play it at the family gathering after his service. A tribute to my Dad and the great musicians he listened to.

I will not provide a track listing; another reviewer did an excellent job of that already. But this is what I have to say: I grew up listening to classic country in the late '50, the '60s, and early '70s before I ran away and "turned into a ____ed hippy." THIS is what I grew up listening to. One summer in the early '70s I spent with my grandma in Laguna Beach. She let me pick out a Craig radio/cassette recorder. I recorded an entire summer of country hits out of Los Angeles on that, direct from radio to cassette. Quite the novelty at the time! But these CDs are that music. Oh I love this stuff! Not re-mastered, Not remixed. No... it is "as it was." Pure, simple country western music. Later I moved to Montana for a while, and listened to this in the small-town bars that dotted western Montana. Played "4-5-6" for quarters for the juke-box and learned to drink beer. (ew) But to this soundtrack.

The headline says it all. Time Life Country hit CD's at a fraction of the cost. My husband is THRILLED with this collection!

I've listened to this set only half way but I'm very satisfied with the sound quality as well the selection of tunes. While every classic song by ervery classic is not represented this shopuld serve as a good introduction to country music. It seems to cut off at early seventies so there are no Randy Travis, Judds.

The Golden Age of Country CD's have become favorite listening for my husband and me when we travel. We are "golden-agers" ourselves and these songs bring back lots of fun memories. These will be enjoyed for many years to come.

I grew up listening to a lot of this music so it probably means more to me then maybe some others, i like the storys and the cryin fiddles and steel guitars. but this is a big set with lots of stuff that seems to bump and jostle its neighbors its poorly organized. music needs to flow in sets and I didn't find that.i kept wishing it was all on a play list that I could organize more to my ear and taste. still for the money theres a lot of good music and a lot of cds.

The music is five stars. The quality of this set is very questionable. I am on my second set. Computer cd drives won't read the discs. I tried two different cd drives. Tried a MAC and a Windows compatible cd drive. Both cd drives had problems reading the discs on both sets. Again the music is five stars but if you plan to rip into iTunes you are gonna have problems.

Not sure why some reviews state that the songs are not hits. Bought this for my Mom, and she loves it. I like traditional country music, and know most of the songs. This plays like the Willie's Roadhouse channel on Sirius XM...if you like that, you'll love this set. Great price as well.Quick shipping - the shipping tracker said USPS would take 20 days, got it in 3.

love the music

Arrived in fantastic order and my Father absolutely loved loved his Christmas gift.

Excellent collection of songs if you appreciate the "good ole country music". It was a pleasure to hear some artists that you don't get to hear on the radio any more unless you subscribe to XM country music radio "Willy's Roadhouse." Great Buy!

My mom would've loved it as much as I do.

A much loved gift. I had tried to buy this on another site but the order failed. Through Amazon, shopping is much easier and the quality and variety of products is wonderful.
