Reader Reviews
Ever wonder what young, early Roy sounded like? Here's your chance to find out. These are 16 cuts culled from the early part of his career. You find the themes herein that made Acuff a household name with songs like "The Southbound Train", "When I Lay My Burden Down" and others. This is also as country as it comes. This is not the later, more polished Roy Acuff. Some of this is pretty stone cold country. You almost grimace at the phrasing on "Drifting Too Far From The Shore"! Some drawbacks, though. This is the re-release of a 1984 LP by the same name hence making it a short running time for a CD. There are absolutely no liner notes, just advertisement for other product, so it doesn't quite gel as a "Historic Edition". If you wonder what the red checkmarks are about on the back, those are previously unissued performances. Buy this, listen a time or two and put it away for a while and then listen again-it's a keeper.
