VA - American Heartland Legends Of Country [2014] (3 x CDs)

This particular compilation is released by Sony, with some tracks licensed from Universal and one (the final track) licensed from Warner. Sony Music's budget-priced "American Heartland: Legends of Country" box set rounds up 60 road-tested country greats from the likes of Dolly Parton ("Jolene"), Glen Campbell ("Rhinestone Cowboy"), Kenny Rogers ("Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town"), Waylon Jennings ("Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way"), Merle Haggard ("I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink"), the Charlie Daniels Band ("Devil Went Down to Georgia"), and the Band ("The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"), resulting in a near-perfect and quite affordable collection of prime cuts.

This will suit people who only listen to country music occasionally but will also suit country fans who like to have a lot of the obvious songs together in one place.   (B)
