This isn't for collectors, it's for fans of country who want to buy a good chunk of the classic canon in one place for a reasonable price, and that's exactly what this offers. The term "standard" is no exaggeration: among these 57 songs not a one is unfamiliar or unexpected, which is the appeal of the set, of course. Shout! Factory's 2006 Legends of Country: Classic Hits from the '50s, '60s & '70s was released in conjunction with a PBS television special of the same name, and where the TV show showcased live recordings, the album is a three-disc box set that serves up original recordings of 57 country standards - roughly one disc apiece for the '50s, '60s and '70s (it does dip back to the '40s on the first disc and forward to the '80s on the last, but such accuracy is really nitpicking).
