"You won't hear anybody like Faron on the radio today...He was, and is, a true original...his wink and smile even on a sad song tells you "it ain't so bad"...unfortunately, his life was not as happy as his sound and grinning face when he did what he truly loved...entertaining. It is sure good to know his music is still able to be found. This CD is a great start to get to know a true entertainer...who never sang a song he didn't make his own."
Horrible Production/Mastering

"I realize that some of these songs are decades old and that recording quality isn't quite up to modern digital standards, but that's no excuse for sloppy production in putting together a compilation.
Instead of a pleasant fade and short silence between tracks, most just cut off abruptly a fraction of a second before the end of the song. The real dealbreaker though is that the volume of several tracks warbles up and down throughout the song. I can even live with different volumes between tracks from different sources, but when the volume goes up and down within the same song it drives me nuts.
Lots of tracks for the money (although I didn't get one track listed, still trying to figure out what's up with that) so I guess I shouldn't be too critical; you get what you pay for and I didn't pay much."
