Product Description Arguably the first and most successful country-pop crossover recording star of the rock n roll era, Don Gibson was a pioneer in developing what was to become known as the Nashville Sound. In the face of the onslaught of rock n roll in the mid-1950s, the somewhat staid and conservative country music genre needed to change from its hayseed-hillbilly image and Gibson, a skilled songwriter and distinctive vocalist, led the transition that saw country music vying with pop and rock n roll records for top ten places on the pop charts around the world. Review A clutch of 1960's favourites from the Sad Poet who gained fame as a founder of the Nashville Sound...a fascintating collection - **** --Bob Kilbey, Maverick, May/June 2013
