Summary: Johnny Horton's wonderful music
Comment: I was glad to find this CD as I do have the record album and it sounds great on the CD we love Johnny's wonderful voice and would recommend this CD.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Memories
Comment: As a child my mother's Johnny Horton albums were my favorites to play over and over and over.
I was so thrilled to purchase this on CD so I can once again play it over and over. Sharing this music with friends who didn't "grow up country" has been fun. I miss story-songs. They are few and far between now.
If you like this album I also suggest Jimmy Dean, Frankie Laine, early Johnny Cash and George Jones.

Customer Rating:
Summary: LIberal Democrat the Loves Real Country
Comment: The current generation probably doesn't realize that real country was anti-establishment. I loved Johnny Horton and Jimmey Dean (Remember his song PT-109 about "commie-pinko" Jack Kennedy, who acutally FOUGHT in a war?) when I was a kid. Songs about people with gumption-- not mindless clones whose goal in life is to be a religious/corporate lackeys. You have no idea what it is to be an American... although you think you do.

Editorial Reviews:

While Louisiana Hayride star Johnny Horton's 1956 Top 10 debut "Honky Tonk Man" strode the line between rockabilly and honky-tonk minimalism, he found his niche in 1959 with a short-lived phenomenon known as the saga song: newly penned tunes, based on or inspired by historical events. The song that rendered Horton immortal? A rousing rendition of folksinger Jimmie Driftwood's War of 1812 number "The Battle of New Orleans," which topped both the country and pop charts for weeks. Riding a winner, Horton kept the momentum going with the Civil War-themed "Johnny Reb," and "Sink the Bismarck," based on a World War II naval battle. He died in a Texas car crash in early November 1960, days before his next single, "North to Alaska" (from the John Wayne film of the same name), hit the charts. While saga tunes understandably dominate this collection, it also includes "Honky Tonk Man" and the ballads "Whispering Pines" and "The Mansion You Stole." There's no better introduction to Horton's seminal recordings. --Rich Kienzle
