Description
'You're The Reason - 30 One Hit Wonders - US Country & Western' is a fun compilation of discs which provided the only significant Country & Western chart hit for their respective performer.
This volume concentrates on the US C&W Charts between: 1949-62 and features an eclectic mix of artists and musical genres, from Hillbilly to Honky-Tonk, from Rockabilly to Countrypolitan, from Novelty songs to Death Discs.
Juxtaposing million-selling, crossover pop hits like Vaughn Monroe's original version of "Riders In The Sky", Gene Vincent's menacing "Be Bop A-Lula", Wink Martindale's cheesy recitative "Deck Of Cards", Walter Brennan's similarly-crafted "Old Rivers", The Fendermen's Twangy "Mule Skinner Blues", The Rooftop Singers' folksy "Walk Right In" and Bobby Edwards' lilting title track, alongside half-forgotten Country weepies like Betty Foley's "Old Moon", Billie Jean Horton's "Ocean Of Tears", Charlie Phillips' "I Guess I'll Never Learn", Earl Scott's "Then A Tear Fell" and Vernon Stewart's "The Way It Feels To Die".
