Performer Notes
  • Liner Note Author: Tony Rounce.
  • The "Special Country Edition" of Ace's ongoing Chartbusters USA series focuses on country singles that crossed over into the Billboard Hot 100 during the 1960s. Some of these songs became enduring popular standards (George Jones' "The Race Is On," Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee," Roger Miller's "Chug-A-Lug," the Statler Brothers' "Flowers on the Wall," Buck Owens' "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail," Jeannie C. Riley's "Harper Valley P.T.A."), while a few others are country standards (David Houston's "Almost Persuaded," Henson Cargill's "Skip a Rope," Jim Reeves' "Distant Drums," Eddy Arnold's "Make the World Go Away," Jerry Lee Lewis' "What's Made Milwaukee Famous [Has Made a Loser Out of Me]"), but the fun in the collection is the middle ground: songs that evoke their era. This could either be Chet Atkins' skipping, tongue-in-cheek spin on Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax," Hank Williams, Jr. first entering the charts with a cover of his dad, Porter Wagoner's gothic tragedy "The Carroll County Accident," Tommy Cash's lush protest "Six White Horses" -- or Johnny Cash's vigorous "Understand Your Man" or Bobby Bare's "Miller's Cave," two songs that point the way toward '70s outlaw country. All combined, it's a snapshot of '60s country-pop, music that always felt as country as it did pop. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
