The best country album ever May 16, 2004
Mr N Sandell (ludlow, England)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have listened to this album many,many times over and i still am not bored with this mix of great music by one of the greatest country artist ever.brTo start with a song like the gambler is pure genius, and songs like daytime friends and when two fools collide still pull at my heart strings, and songs like coward of the county and long arm of the law are songs that will make any man feel manly.pi reccomend you buy it and see for yourself.pif you are a true country listner you will agree with me when you listen to it.
Great overview of Kennyýs music February 22, 2005

All Kenny's important British hits are here except Islands in the stream (a duet with Dolly Parton that can be found on her compilations) although Ruby don't take your love to town (a UK number two hit), Something's burning (a UK top ten hit) and Reuben James are solo re-recordings of songs that Kenny originally recorded with the First Edition. They don't sound very different from the originals.pKenny had two number one hits in the UK (Lucille, Coward of the county) and a top twelve hit with Lady (his biggest American hit - it spent several weeks at number one). Three minor UK hits - Daytime friends, She believes in me and We've got tonight (a duet with Sheena Easton) are also included. All three fared much better in America, where Kenny had many other hits.pOf Kenny's American hits that failed to chart in Britain, the most famous is probably The gambler, which is here along with Don't fall in love with a dreamer (a duet with Kim Carnes), Till I can make it on my own (a duet with Dottie West), You decorated my life, Sweet music man (written by Kenny but covered by several major country singers including Waylon Jennings, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette and Reba McEntire) and Every time two fools collide (another duet with Dottie West).pThere are many American hits missing (among them being Love lifted me, Love or something like it, Through the years, Love the world away, Love will turn you around, Scarlet fever) but Long arm of the law (first released on the Lady compilation in the early eighties) is here, together with Kenny's excellent covers of Son of Hickory Holler's tramp (O C Smith), Green green grass of home (a country hit for Porter Wagoner that later became an international pop hit for Tom Jones), Desperado (Eagles) and Abraham Martin and John (an American hit for Smokey Robinson and the Miracles but a British hit for Marvin Gaye).pThere are many compilations of his music to choose from including double CD's and boxed sets, but as an introduction to Kenny's music, this is exactly what British customers want - plenty of his own hits and a few choice covers.
