CD Reviews

Skimpy, many songs improved over Greatest Hits CD & 5 more
Bradley Olson | Bemidji, MN United States | 12/21/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD of 12 of Burl's biggest hits is very skimpy (as with all of these US domestic Millennium Collections have in common) but it has a few tracks with improved sound over the 1996 Greatest Hits CD plus does have 5 songs that aren't on the 1996 Greatest Hits CD and they are "Mary Ann Regrets," "The Same Old Hurt," "Foggy, Foggy Dew," "Goober Peas," and "Wild Side of Life," and all songs come from clean masters. Some of the tracks that have noticeably improved sound over the 1996 Greatest Hits CD include "Lavender Blue," "Blue Tail Fly," "Big Rock Candy Mountain" but fans should still keep their 1996 CD anyway for many more classics in fact only 7 of these 12 songs are on the 1996 CD anyway. This disc is highly recommended for several of the tracks in improved sound over the 1996 CD entitled "Greatest Hits" and for the 5 songs not on that CD."
I love Burl Ives, but...

"This is simply not a good selection of Ives' songs. Several of the versions are grossly inferior earlier cuts with poor sound quality. I refer particularly to the incomparably lovely "Lavender Blue" and "Goober Peas." The versions included here were recorded in the late 1940's and later versions by Burl are infinitely superior. The only stellar cuts are "A Little Bitty Tear" and "Maryann Regrets." The rest of the songs were not big hits and are poor filler material.Burl Ives was an American treasure and his best work has aged well and is still wonderful music. However, you won't find it on this weak compilation."
