COMPILATION

Included are "Today I Started Loving You Again," "No Reason to Quit," "Every Fool Has a Rainbow," "Hungry Eyes" -- some of his best ballads plus the jingoistic faves "Okie from Muskogee" and "The Fightin' Side of Me." There are a few duds, though -- some of the early Capitol albums are more consistent. ~ George Bedard
