Disco de Johnny Horton: “Honky Tonk Man: The Essential...”

Although this CD left out some of my favorites, like "Jim Bridger," "Johnny Freedom," and "The Battle of Bull Run," it is a must have for any fan of Johnny Horton, or classic country in general. It provides many songs that aren't included on most of his other cd's, a bonus feature in this 2 CD set. It is definately a must have for any collection!

This is a great cd. I have enjoyed music by Johnny Horton for over 15 years. It is a geat collection of music but two songs are missing. I love Whispering Pines and Comanche is the other song I would have liked to seen in this collection. Other than that, it is great music.

I was thrilled to get the cds. I have been trying to get the words to "The Electrified Donkey" since Johnny Horton sang it on a trip to Anchorage in 1959 or 1960(about the same time Little Jimmy Dickens was here the first time). The album is GREAT! and fun,but it says in the brochure that he was here in Alaska in 1949. It was at least ten years later that he was here. Also, unless he lied to us, HE wrote "North To Alaska" on the plane on the way up here. And "When It's Springtime in Alaska (it's 40 below)" he wrote up here, and local musician Tex Johnson helped him. I don't understand the explainations for these songs in the brochure. I can't believe he lied to us.
