Title: Get This One While You Can
Product review: I have never encountered another collection of Carl Belew's songs, so this 19 Track disc has been long-coming. If you're not familiar with Carl Belew, you owe it to yourself to grab this album and give it a listen. Carl was an excellent songwriter, much in the same vein as Don Gibson. Just as important, Carl was a talented singer, although stuck in the "Nashville Sound" for much of his career. His voice is 80% Bobby Bare and 20% Ferlin Husky; he could easily be mistaken for a younger Bobby Bare on the earlier recordings. Like many songwriters though, it was the "other" artist who got the glory with his songs. Still, you will enjoy this album immensely.....especially so if you're a fan of the polished country music of the '60's. A set of liner notes is included, and the sound on this CD is just fine. Get it while you can.
