Essential Wynn Stewart..
R. Webb | u.s.a. | 02/02/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The one I've been waiting for, a compilation of Wynn Stewart's best Capitol recordings. This release and The Playboy Sessions,"After The Storm" are the essential recordings from the influential Bakersfield star that helped guide the way for Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. Wynn Stewart never gained the recognition of other country superstars, maybe for the reason most of his repertoire consisted of positive songs,"Something Pretty","Let The Whole World Sing It With Me","It's Such A Pretty World Today", - "Strings" and "The Waltz Of The Angels" stand on their own,two perfect country and western songs. It's a well known fact that most all different music genres derive from the blues,you don't hear too many positive songs in country music,much less the blues, just an "out of the blue" observation,positive songs are also harder to write.. Most any song Stewart sang was golden,what a voice!,smooth and velvet,twisting and turning,that my friends is Wynn Stewart. Micro Werks issued this 2009 release licensed under Capitol, no need to worry about the sound, the audio is superb. The only problem is the packaging,another cardboard "mini album",the disc is wedged inside the sleeve. The compilation is a short thirty one minutes,no booklet,there are few liner notes. Featuring "the voice" and some of the best hits of Wynn Stewart,a singer not to be forgotten."
