Decent remakes

(3 out of 5 stars)

"At the time this CD was issued (1999) there was no domestically available CD of their classic Decca material (although there was an excellent collection, TROUBLE'S BACK IN TOWN - THE HITS OF THE WILBURN BROTHERS, on the British EDSEL label), so this CD of late 1970s recording filled a definite need. Not a hits collection, it does cover four of their hits plus some other songs. While lacking the sparkle of the Decca recordings these are good journeyman recordings. Recordings include:



I Know A Goodbye When I See One (not a charted hit)

If I Can't Have All Of You (not a charted hit)

I've Never Outgrown My Move For You (not a charted hit)

Hands (not a charted hit)

Roll Muddy River (#4 - 1963)

Making Plans (not a charted hit)

Trouble's Back In Town (#4 - 1962)

Knoxville Girl (#18 - 1959)

What I Had With You (not a charted hit)

I'm Gonna Tie One On Tonight (#19 -1965)



If you don't have either the Edsel disc referenced above or 2005's GREATEST HITS released domestically by Varese Sarabande - get one of them first. This CD would make a good second acquisition
