Description:

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.
