Good Collection of Songs, but not all original artists

"I had been looking for a collection of older country songs and I thought this was the perfect cd. I was somewhat disappointed when I discovered that not all of the recordings were by the original artists. "The Battle of New Orleans" is not by Johnny Horton and this is not Roger Miller's "King of the Road." Also, some of the songs were recorded directly from vinyl and the sound is scratchy. Overall, this is still a good collection and there are some gems included such as Tex Ritter's "Hillbilly Heaven" and Patsy Montana's "I Want to be a Cowboy's Sweetheart.""
