Excellent two CD set containing classic Rock 'n' Roll hits and their novelty 'answer' songs. Among the earliest examples featured herein are a trio of late '50s crossover Country hits, Bobby Helms' 'Fraulein' (#1 C&W; #36 Pop; 1957), Johnny Cash's 'Ballad Of A Teenage Queen' (#1 C&W; #14 Pop; 1958) and Wink Martindale's 'Deck Of Cards' (#11 C&W; #7 Pop; 1959). Of these, only Kitty Wells' subservient 'I'll Always Be Your Fraulein' provided a commercial successful response (#10 C&W), although during 1960, both Jim Reeves' 'He'll Have To Go' (#1 C&W; #2 Pop) and Hank Locklin's 'Please Help Me I'm Falling' (#1 C&W; #8 Pop) inspired hugely-successful replies, by Jeanne Black (with 'He'll Have To Stay', #6 C&W; #4 Pop) and Skeeter Davis (with '(I Can't Help It) I'm Falling Too', #2 C&W; #39 Pop).
