AVID Country continues with its Five Classic Albums series with a re-mastered 2CD release featuring Slim Whitman, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details.
Slim Whitman Favourites; Slim Whitman Sings Country Hits; Slim Whitman Sings; Just Call Me Lonesome and Once In A Lifetime.
The epitome of easy listening, love and romance country, Slim Whitmans career seemed to have lasted forever, wherever you went, you could not seem to escape the high-pitched yodelling country troubadour who once had Elvis opening for him in the 1950s and sold over 120 million records. He was certainly a unique phenomenon, huge in the states but even bigger in the UK where in 1955 his massive hit Rose Marie (featured on our Favourites album), stayed in the charts for an astonishing 11 weeks, only finally to be overtaken a mere 36 years later in 1991 by Bryan Adams. Our five fab selections find Slim at the beginning of career that would last into the new millennium.
Check out:- Chet Atkins (AMSC1335), Johnny Cash (AMSC1252), Patsy Cline (AMSC 1313), Jim Reeves (AMSC1294), Roy Orbison (AMSC1232), Elvis Presley (AMSC 931, 1257 & 1299), Marty Robbins (AMSC1218), Hank Williams (AMSC1267)
