Producer: Jeff Palo; Stan Silver; Jeff Palo; Derek Dressler (Compilation); Leslie Lewis (Compilation) Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Released in 2008, this 16-track collection presents an excellent selection of vintage Grammy-winning country tunes, drawing largely from the 1970s. Highlights of the compilation include Roger Miller's breezy smash hit "King of the Road," Johnny Cash and June Carter's folk-tinged duet "If I Was a Carpenter," and Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson's outlaw anthem "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys." Not only is CLASSIC COUNTRY a fine Grammy document--it also serves as a solid introduction to the genre. This set of classic country Grammy winners includes such timeless hits as Roger Miller's laconic "King of the Road," Crystal Gayle's ode to resignation "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue," and Willie Nelson's perfectly nuanced "Always on My Mind," among others, and while it doesn't pack any surprises, it makes for a pleasant Sunday afternoon drive down nostalgia lane. ~ Steve Leggett
