Description
In the early 1950s, Goldie Hill - a Webb Pierce discovery, known as "The Golden Hillbilly" - was a member of the Grand Ole Opry, the Louisiana Hayride and the Ozark Jubilee, and became one of the very first girl singers in the Country market to enjoy significant record success.
Indeed, she was only the second female artiste to top the Country & Western charts, with 'I Let The Stars Get In My Eyes', the answer disc to the Slim Willet/Skeets McDonald/Perry Como #1.
Goldie also famously cut successful duets with Justin Tubb ('Looking Back', 'Sure Fire Kisses') and Red Sovine ('Are You Mine', 'Yankee Go Home')
She recorded prolifically for Decca Records, cutting some thirty-odd singles, a handful of EPs, and a half-dozen LPs; this compilation is drawn from her singles releases between 1952-62 and includes all her significant hits.
This set is complementary to an earlier Jasmine release, 'The Golden Hillbilly' (JASMCD3669), which comprised her first two LPs.
