Later in his career Charley Pride did a massive recording session where he re-recorded all his biggest hits.
At the time it was well intentioned because almost all of the original versions of these songs were unavailable.
But be forewarned, the songs on this disc are all remakes.
I grew up listening to Charley Pride and LOVE his music, so when I saw this CD with all his hit songs, I pounced on it immeidately. To my surprise and sadness, all of the songs are remakes ... it's still Charley singing, but they are not the original songs or the sound we are used to. My heart sank. To get this many songs on one CD was a find ... to learn they were remakes killed the moment. So beware.
One positive note: I actually like the remake of "Roll On Mississippi" much better than the original, which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.
This is a great selection of Charley Pride's hits. A good choice!
