Find Best Price at Amazon"I may revise this review as I grow accustomed to the highly generic production values on so many of these songs. Some who have seen my review of the Time-Life "Classic Country" box will no doubt gather the impression that I don't get what classic country is."
"I'm not a huge country fan, but he's such an amazing singer that I had to include him in my library."
"What else can be said about him that hasn't been said already!"
"awesome music you can not find in stores."
"best country music there is!"

All the hits and more by Patsy, who was so much more than a country singer-she could make songs by Willie Nelson, Irving Berlin, Bob Wills and Cole Porter all her own.

"I bought the CD to give to her as I think it's an outstanding compilation of Gershwin's pieces."
"As it turns out, long before George and Ira Gershwin's golden age, when they were turning out musicals with tunes that are still performed today, George (sometimes with Ira, sometimes not) was writing tunes for musicals now forgotten, and recording them on piano rolls."
"This is one of my favorite recordings of Gershwin material."
"Someone on a music forum that I watch online posted a clip of Rhapsody In Blue from this recording and I was immediately blown away."
"Had to rearrange some part to play some tunes in 4hands-1piano instead of 2 pianos."
"It's wonderful to hear Gershwin compositions played by the composer himself!"
"Its just that type of music you have to sit and listen."
