"A waste of money.Two selections are poorly recorded live performances from
who-knows-where.Several others sound like cheap demos not intended for release.And, get this. One track, "You're Cheatin Heart" isn't even
sung by Faron Young, but rather Frankie Laine! It's so badly
re-processed that he sounds like he's singing through a tin can.A waste of money."

It's so bad

"This CD is very deceptive. One has to look at the small print to see that the recordings are not the originals. However, these re-recordings aren't even worthy of a listen because of the God awful production value. The recording of HELLO WALLS is live, recorded it appears at one of those supper clubs or maybe in a studio with a hand full of people. Upon first hearing, i thought it was recorded off AM radio, since there is static over the recording!! The sound is muddy, amateurish, and the reason i'm so upset is because the company that put this CD out took advantage of the lack of Faron Young music on the market and released this...you are better off to buy his box set that's sold here on Amazon that chronicles his Capitol years. Also, the Millennium Collection series is another CD to grab. This CD, plus THE ESSENTIAL FARON YOUNG 2-CD set which sports a younger picture of Faron but contains nearly the same bad produced re-recordings, are a disgrace."
