Search - Conway Twitty :: Hello Darlin

While he rose to fame as a rockabilly cat with the 1958 Presley soundalike classic, "It's Only Make Believe," it was Conway Twitty who later showed Elvis the way when he made a move to straight country in the mid-'60s and became one of the genre's superstars. The heartaching "Hello Darlin'" was the song that took him there in 1970, and this album explains why he came to be known in Nashville as "a song's best friend." Included here are such emotion-drenched tracks as "Up Comes the Bottle," and "I'm So Used to Loving You," as well as fine versions of bluegrass evergreens "Rocky Top" and "Reuben James," and, a few years before Willie Nelson made it his own, Roy Acuff's "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain." --Billy Altman
