DESCRIPTION
2016 collection. A Golden Age collection is always a special event at Ace Records. The success of our first Special Country Edition in the Golden Age Of American Popular Music series virtually guaranteed that there would be a follow-up at some point. Here it is at long last, mastered from the best possible sources and with an equally strong line up of names and tracks. Virtually all 28 of our featured artists were household names in country in their day, and the majority of them still are over 50 years later. There's a generous helping of up-tempo hillbilly and borderline rockabilly among the straight ahead country to preserve the musical variety. The booklet is crammed with in-depth annotation and copious illustrations with at least one image for every one of its 28 selections.
