Roy Drusky was a country singer and songwriter very much associated with the emerging InchNashville soundInch during the late 1950s as the music began to acquire a smoother style as it incorporated strings and vocal choruses. He was highly successful as a writer even before he enjoyed chart success as an artist, with other country stars having hits with his songs, including Faron Young's 1958 and '59 No. 1s InchAlone With YouInch and InchCountry GirlInch. This great value 49-track 2-CD set comprises his A & B sides for the Columbia and Decca labels from 1955 through to 1962, including a duet with Kitty Wells, plus the tracks from his albums during that era InchAnymoreInch and InchIt's My WayInch which were not otherwise released on singles. It naturally features his country chart entries from these years, including the Top 10 hits InchAnother Just Like MeInch, InchAnymoreInch, InchI Went Out Of My WayInch, InchI'd Rather Loan You OutInch and InchThree Hearts in a TangleInch, plus his duet hit with Kitty Wells InchI Can't Tell My Heart ThatInch. It's an excellent introduction to the music of an artist who went on to enjoy a successful hit-making career over subsequent years in the 1970s.
