Re: Twitty, Tucker, Atkins
ON Twitty, there's one with 25 cuts called something like Silver Anniversary collection with about everything you'd need including the rare gem "Guess My Eyes Were Bigger than My Heart", a fave among the crowds we play to.

Hey there, Tera On Twitty - now here's a performer who had more #1 hits than Elvis and still isn't in the Country Hall of Fame. Why? What's the hold-up?

RE: Twitty, Tucker, Atkins
Chet Atkins - so is "The Essential" the way to go?
Probably, at least on economic grounds, though the Country All-Stars Jazz
From The Hills album on Bear Family will get you not only prime Chet but
also some other folks regularly named around here, like the
recently-discussed Jerry Byrd, fiddler Dale Potter, Jethro Burns on
mandolin. Chet really built his reputation in the 50s, and his work from
that period is a lot shinier.
Tanya Tucker - have her first two albums been released on CD? and she had
about 4 'Greatest Hits' CDs. I know enought to avoid the one dated
1990-1992, but what of the others?
Sony has a Nice Price one that has her early hits (look for "Jamestown
Ferry"), MCA has a set that covers her later 70s stuff.
Conway Twitty - Sheesh, there are 56 CDs listed at Amazon and ALL BUT 5
are Greatest Hits collections. Help. I'm assuming I'd prefer his earlier
stuff to his later stuff.
Bad assumption, unless you mean his rockabilly stuff from the 50s (look for
stuff done for MGM if that's what you're after); Twitty was remarkably
consistent in sound and style for a long, long time. I'm pretty happy with
my MCA 20 Greatest Hits ("Hello Darlin'" to "Red Neckin' Love Makin'
Night"), but most any MCA collection will do for starters. Whatever you
get, make sure it has "(Lying Here With) Linda On My Mind."

Country Hall of Fame. Why? What's the hold-up? A big Twitty fan myself,
I'd have to say that Jon is on the money with his recommendations, although
Twitty's rockabilly start on vinyl wasn't bad either. I like "(It's Only)
Make Believe" and I have a peculiar affinity toward "C'est Si Bon" - the
Twitty growl is very effective here. The latter is pretty much banished
from Twitty history, although some out-of-the-way second-hand record shop
might have the single or the album.
Also, if you like the solo Twitty, check out his pairing with Lynn.
"Louisiana Woman,
Mississippi Man" is a good place to start. I always found the Lynn/Twitty
duo a bit unconventional, but it worked very well.
