Description:

＜The author of "Tennessee Waltz" and a legend of the C.W. world completes the ultimate compilation! Co-writer of "Tennessee Waltz" and "You Belong To Me," Western Swing guru, accordionist and bandleader, the list is endless in describing him. With partner Red Stewart, he reached #3 on the country charts with "Tennessee Waltz" (1948) and #1 with "Slow Poke" (1951). With Nashville's "Grand Ole Opry," he brought in drums and a western style, creating a sensation with his urban, sophisticated playing and singing. This CD is based on the early 10-inch album "Country Classics," and is the ultimate best of the best of the RCA era (1948-1956), which was the peak of his career, as well as a selection of his many recordings. This CD is also designed to give listeners a taste of the 10-inch albums that were the mainstream at the time. Now, why don't you dance to Western Swing? Commentary: Naoki Sugimoto
