"Finally, Finally, some of Sonny James's albums are coming back in print, long overdue for this country great. The record labels have all but forgot about Sonny in fact with the exception of this 2 fer I had to go to Nashville Tenn. to even find Sonny James material and from West Virginia that is quite a distance. Was the 60's and 70's so long ago or is Sonny's material just being ignored. If I remember right this Country legend had a string of 21 number one hits but yet for years and years his material was out of Print. These two 70's albums released on one CD shows how well Sonny can cover some of the all-time great tunes from yesteryear, treated with the upmost respect and care from Sonny. Sonny makes these songs his own in a style that has made Sonny himself a Legend, The Southern Gentlemen at his best!!!!!"
