Various Artists | The Country Collection: 60s, 70s, 80s | 3CD 462

From a golden age that spans three decades, The Country Collection - 60s, 70s, 80s brings you 63 timeless tunes, tales of love, loss and everyday events that resonate across the years. The enduring popularity of Country music stems from good tunes well written, good songs well sung, and engaging stories well told, all of which you will find on this new x3 CD set. Here you’ll will find US chart toppers from Glen Campbell (‘Rhinestone Cowboy’), Charlie Rich (‘The Most Beautiful Girl’), Bobbie Gentry (‘Ode To Billy Joe’), Mary MacGregor (‘Torn Between Two Lovers’), C.W. McCall (‘Convoy’), Anne Murray (‘You Needed Me’), and the coming together of two outstanding talents, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers on ‘Islands In The Stream’. And while Country music is rooted in America, many of our featured artists have become international superstars - so we have included UK No. 1 singles from Tammy Wynette (‘Stand By Your Man’), Pussycat (‘Mississippi’), Kenny Rogers (‘Lucille’), Jim Reeves (‘Distant Drums’), and Roger Miller (‘King Of The Road’). Music trends come and go but the songs on The Country Collection - 60s, 70s, 80s will never go out of style.
