The Best of Webb Pierce

Good music for true country music fans. Not todays blended country but crying in your drink stuff. September 19, 2007

As good as ever

I can remember as a kid I would sit in front of my mother's stereo and listen to the old time country music. My favorite was Webb Pierce. Whenever my mom would pull out her albums to play I would always say let's hear Webb Pierce first.
This collection is some of the finest material of Webb Pierce's music. My favorite songs are "Wondering", "There Stands The Glass", "In The Jailhouse Now", "I Don't Care", "Why Baby Why", and "I Ain't Never". Sounds ever better than it did when I was little. The music here is very clear and sounds great. This CD is among my favorite CD's in my collection. If you like good ole country music then this CD is for you. July 15, 2007

Honky Tonk Music

I bought this CD after I bought another Webb Pierce CD, which he recorded as an older and yes even as an old man he was a honky tonk hero.And it didnt have kick I wanted and I know Webb was a great county singer. But as for this CD the songs are great and its nice to be able to hear the real deal and a real country song about the hurt and heart ache. This CD is great. September 16, 2006

Great stuff...but

Webb Pierce is always great, but you can always depend on Universal to louse up its releases. As another reviewer pointed out, the timing on this CD is pathetic, particular considering how many WP masters are available to this rip-off company. Also, some of the versions here are NOT the same as those on the Greatest Hits LP that Decca released (which many fans of WP probably remember). Pierce himself is certainly worth 5 stars any day, but he surely deserves better than this. March 31, 2006

Great little collection, but...

...it's only 30 minutes long! That's my biggest criticism about a lot of these "20th Century Masters" collections. This CD should have twice the amount of songs on it as it does. When you've got a genre such as old time country where songs rarely exceed the three minute mark, you've got to put more than a mere 12 tracks on a compilation disc. It's not like the CD is going to run out of room!

Other than that big issue (at least for me) it's a fine CD. Webb is an often overlooked country music superstar and was absolutely HUGE in his day. These songs are among his best, and although I wish there were more (like "Tupelo County Jail" for instance) the ones that are there sound great. I was a DJ at an old time country station a few years back and always put some Webb Pierce on when I was on air. December 21, 2005
