Synopsis

Album Description

2-on-1. Kay Starr gained a reputation of being able to turn her hand to any type of song, and on Just Plain Country she proves that even country music isn't beyond her vocal talents. She zips through the classics like 'Crazy', 'Four Wall', 'Walk On By', 'Oh, Lonesome Me' and 'Singing The Blues' with real ease. Tears And Heartaches Old Records also contains a few classic country tunes; 'Make The World Go Away' and 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' to name a few. Tears And Heartaches Old Records were both big US hits for Kay, and tracks like 'Flower' On The Wall' and 'Talk, Talk, Talk' became standards. EMI Gold. 2006.

CD Reviews

Five Starr Country!

Pawpaw Bruce | Asheville, NC United States | 04/14/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Kay Starr belts out 22 country favorites on this CD which combines two albums from way back when. The arrangements are outstanding. The very best is Kay's rendition of the Hank Williams classic "I Can't Help It". Her version of Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is great, too.

There's something especially catchy about the Starr treatment of the Leroy Van Dyke hit "Walk On By". While most of the songs are ones you'd expect to find in a collection like this, Kay starts the disc with a pleasant surprise for those of us who have been country fans for longer than many people have been alive, the Roy Acuff favorite "Pins And Needles (In My Heart)" written by his publishing partner Fred Rose under the pen name Floyd Jenkins. There has always been something country about Kay's style and the folks at Capitol made a good choice when they turned her loose on this collection."
