Country music is all about characters and the stories they tell. That, prior to the advent of the phonograph and, later, radio, was exactly how the songs were passed down through the generations. And the good news is we not only have some great songs here but we also have some very memorable characters telling them. Some of those characters enjoyed long careers, like Tennessee Ernie Ford who began performing at the age four in 1923 and was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1990, the year before his death. Others like Patsy Cline were taken from us all too soon, in her case in a 1963 plane crash. Cline came to overright fame on a TV talent contest and went on to become a classic country balladeer with some glossy, string-laden productions. 'Crazy', from 1961, was her greatest hit and has been covered in subsequent years by kd lang among others.

It was penned by Willie Nelson, who honed his act playing Texan bars so tough that band and audience were separated by a sheet of chicken wire to discourage bottle-throwers. In 1960, he decided to become a Nashville backroom boy, writing songs for others, but eventually returned to recording and performing; he is featured here singing the classic 'Funny How Time Slips Away' plus two more.

Poter Wagoner is remembered for his long-time partnership with Dolly Parton, one many successors to Patsy Cline as first lady of Country. Porter's early carrer from 1954 made a big impression of Gram Persons of the Flying Burrito Brothers two decades later; Gram not only copped hid idol's musical style but his extravagant Nudie-suited fashion sense. As for Dolly, she has combined the roles of celabrity, film star and all-round entertainer with that of a serious musician. 'I can just be true to the art and make money out of other things,' she explained when she returned to her country and bluegrass roots just after the millenium. The tracks her catch her on her way up.
