A Legend in My Time contains 26 tracks from Don Gibson`s peak years of 1957-1965, including all of his country Top Ten hits ("Oh Lonesome Me," "I Can`t Stop Lovin` You," "Blue Blue Day," "Sweet Dreams," and several others), as well as a selection of lesser-known material that is all first-rate. It`s the definitive retrospective. Although hardcore fans will want Bear Family`s box sets and casual fans might want a collection that`s a little more concise, A Legend in My Time has every essential item from the classic singer/songwriter. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
