"Charlie Daniels does it all, from dead-on country ballads to bluegrass to gospel to rock & roll. In this collection, Daniels puts on his rock & roll hat and delivers another winning set. From "Bogged Down in Love with You" to "Powder Keg," Charlie, Taz, and the rest of the band stand and deliver. A great album by one of the best." (Allmusic)
"In 1989, Royal released the album Tell It Like Is; the title cut, a remake of the venerable soul standard, became his biggest hit, peaking at number two, while the album itself stayed in the Top 15 for over a year. Best known for his country-flavored rock hit "Down in the Boondocks," Billy Joe Royal had a long career that saw him become one of the first pop performers to successfully revive his commercial fortunes by turning to straight country music. Although he never had another hit as successful as "Down in the Boondocks," he racked up about 15 singles that hit the country charts over the course of the 1980s." (Allmusic)
"Clint Black's accessible brand of Texas country burned up the charts upon its release, selling two million copies and yielding the hit singles "Better Man," "Killin' Time," "Nobody's Home," "Walkin' Away," and "Nothing's News." A country music traditionalist from Texas, Clint Black was one of the first artists to kick-start the mass-market popularity of country in the '90s. Black is also one of the first artists of a generation that was equally inspired by rock-oriented pop like '70s singer/songwriters and '60s rock & roll as well as country artists Merle Haggard, Bob Wills, and George Jones. Born in New Jersey but raised in Houston, he absolutely tore up the country charts when he debuted in 1989 -- his first four singles hit number one, and his first 24 all reached the Top Ten. Co-writing every one of his numerous hits, Black brings a highly personal style to his music that is uncommon within Nashville." (Allmusic)
Jerusalem is een heilige plek voor de Islam, het Christendom en het Jodendom. Het is ook een heel oude stad. Een stad waarvan de wortels waarschijnlijk nog veel verder terug in de tijd gaan dan de genoemde 3.000 jaar. Dat staat natuurlijk niet in de weg dat Jerusalem door de eeuwen heen ook een grote bron van inspiratie en bezieling is geweest in de muziek en dat nu zeker ook nog is. Op dit album geven 16 artiesten uit verschillende religies en continenten, maar vooral uit Israël, blijk van die inspiratie door de heilige stad. Met onder meer Sinead O'Connor en Alpha Blondy.

"The song subjects hardly classify Loveless as a honky-tonk angel, at least by Hank Thompson's definition. But this was the album that established Loveless as a major presence, and it includes two of her biggest singles -- "Chains," "Timber I'm Falling in Love" -- and two of her best -- "Blue Side of Town" and "Don't Toss Us Away," a duet with Rodney Crowell. One of the most popular female singers of the new traditionalist movement, Patty Loveless rose to stardom thanks to her blend of honky tonk and country-rock, not to mention a plaintive, emotional ballad style. Her late-'80s records for MCA were generally quite popular, earning her comparisons to Patsy Cline." (Allmusic)
"A good friend turned me on to Karl by playing Lonesome Traveller and I was hooked. Karl Denver's sound is an incredible synthesis of early 60's styles. Hell, just listen to Lonesome Traveller back to back with If I had My Way. Buy the album and prepared to be amazed. The only possible issue you will have is that you might start trolling ebay to buy vintage Karl vinyl: this compilation is not enough! In fact I now judge my musical friends by their Karl reactions. The only negative thing I can say about this compilation is that having now listened to many of the records, I think the song selection was a bit safe, without some of his weirder more wonderful stuff. Unbelievable that this guy is Scottish. You have to wonder what would have happened if he got to stick around Nashville and didn't have to skip the country to avoid being deported. Amazon is doing itself a disservice by not allowing previews on this one." (Amazon)
