About This Item

This continues the series which we re-established a couple of years ago and which comprises selected annual collections of the biggest US country hits of each year. This great value100-track 4-CD collection goes back to the start of the 1950s, when the relevant Billboard chart was called the Best Selling Retail Folk (Country & Western) Records, and apart from a few weeks at the start of the year, when there was a Top 15, was restricted to a published Top 10. The collection comprises many of the records which appeared in the chart during the year. Although there were many records which harked back to the styles of traditional hillbilly and western swing music, many of the artists featured were those who had established themselves during the late 1940s and would enjoy prolific hit-making careers during the '50s until the business changed significantly in the wake of the rock 'n' roll explosion. Artists like Hank Williams, Eddy Arnold, Red Foley, Ernest Tubb and Tennessee Ernie Ford are therefore well represented along with many artists whose musical legacy is less well-known these days, as well as pop artists like Margaret Whiting and Kay Starr making forays into the genre through duets with country stars, which makes it a fascinating snapshot of the business as a new decade dawned. With an in-depth 10,000+ word booklet with background notes on every record, it gives a solid overview of the most popular country music of the year. Album Tracks 1. Margaret Whiting & Jimmy Wakely - Slipping Around 2. Mule Train (Tennessee Ernie Ford); 3. Anticipation Blues (Tennessee Ernie Ford); 4. C - H 5. I'll Never Slip Around Again (Margaret Whiting & Jimmy Wakely); 6. Hank Williams - My Bucket's Got a Hole in It 7. Eddy Arnold - Will Santa Come to Shanty Town 8. Ernest Tubb - White Christmas 9. Gene Autry - Here Comes Santa Claus 10. Hank Williams -

    We continue our highly popular and successful America's Greatest Hits series as we work back through the 1950s, now reaching the point at the turn of the decade, this time with an expanded 4-CD edition to sit alongside the existing single CD 1950 edition (ACRCD176) originally released in 2006 before we introduced the 4-CD in recent years. This great-value 104-track collection comprises every record which charted in the Top 15 of the Billboard Best Sellers and Honor Roll Of Hits and the Top 10 in the Cash Box chart during 1951. It omits certain records which peaked in 1951and which have already appeared in our America's Greatest Hits 1951 collection and some which were big hits in 1949, and had already peaked, so will appear in that collection. As with all these collections it features all the biggest hits of the year and all the biggest names in American pop of that era, at a time when the USA was emerging from post-war austerity into a more optimistic decade but was about to become embroiled in the Korean War, and it very much captures the spirit of the times. It also includes a number of lesser known records which are not heard very often and which have not been readily available on CD. As always, it includes a substantial 15,000-word booklet with a commentary on every track, and it's a must for collectors of our completist chart-based anthologies. Album Tracks 1. Andrews Sisters - I Can Dream, Can't I' 2. Bing Crosby - Dear Hearts and Gentle People 3. Bing Crosby - Mule Train 4. Dinah Shore - Dear Hearts and Gentle People 5. Dick Haymes - the Old Master Painter 6. Tony Martin - There's No Tomorrow 7. Richard Hayes - the Old Master Painter 8. Jo Stafford & Gordon MacRae - Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo (The Magic Song) 9. Jack Teter Trio - Johnson Rag 10. Ames Brothers - Rag Mop 11. Buddy Clark - a Dreamer's Holiday 12. Red Foley - Chattanoogi
