Another excellent nostalgia concert., 17 Nov 2007
By Michael A. Martin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Legends of Country: Classic Hits of 50s 60s 70s [DVD] [2006] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This is another addition to the excellent My Music concert series seen on PBS. Unfortunately due to the fact that many of real country music's pioneers are no longer with this, many of the performers on the show may not be recognizable to the devotees of the current Nashville pop music masquerading as country music, but it is a stellar lineup of some of country music's legends. One performances (Patti Page) is taken from a previous concert, but all the rest of these performances were original to this concert. There were some archival performances (Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, etc) shown during the PBS broadcast of this show, but they are not on this DVD. For all that, however, it is an excellent show and I would highly recommend it.
Performances:
Tennessee Waltz - Patti Page
Southern Nights, Rhinestone Cowboy, Wichita Lineman, and Galveston
- Glen Campbell
Send Me the Pillow That You Dream On and Please Help Me I'm Falling
- Hank Locklin
The Old Lamplighter and The Three Bells - The Browns
Still - Bill Anderson
Gone - Ferlin Husky
Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue - Crystal Gayle
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and Hooked on a Feeling - B.J. Thomas
I Can Help - Billy Swan
Let Your Love Flow - Bellamy Brothers

GREATS HITS. HECK - EVEN THE MISSES ARE GOOD!!, 12 Dec 2006
By Samuel B. King "Sam King" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Legends Country: Classic Hits (Audio CD)
Growing up in the '50s and '60s, I remember the songs on this set very well. This is a good review of one off hits like the Browns "Three Bells" (I couldn't stand that song as a kid but kind of enjoy it now), the Statler Brothers' "Flowers on the Wall",Floyd Cramer's "Last Date", "Detroit (I want to go home)", "Abilene", "El Paso" (notice the city name theme), and a host of others. All the major players are represented, Johnny Horton (Battle of New Orleans), Hank Snow (Movin' On), Patsy Cline (I Fall to Pieces), Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire), on and on and on. However, its for the more obscure hits that you should purchase this set. A great overview of the period. Hey, I discovered that Webb Pierce was a real rockin' musician!! Bet many of you didn't know that either!! The most interesting stuff is the '50s and '60s. The '70s goes into the Willie and Waylon (and similar artists)thing which you probably have on other collections. However, the sound quality is great and the early stuff fantastic!! If you like country music, buy it!! If you like country music and want to drive someone crazy who does not like traditional country, buy it BIG TIME!!

I can't believe how many great songs are on this set, 15 Dec 2006
By caj - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Legends Country: Classic Hits (Audio CD)
I bought this for my Dad for Christmas, but I can't wait to borrow it. My jaw dropped as I read the song list for this set. While a few don't really fit (When You're Hot, You're Hot???), the set is filled with some of the best songs ever to be played on country radio.
I hope there's a Volume II.
