Title: Pop Goes The Country
Review: Through the passage of three decades, most pop music listeners may forget that the year 1971 was a fertile period for crossover hits from the country-western genre.This CD brings that fact into sharp focus with the biggest hits in the respective careers of Lynn Anderson ("Rose Garden"), Ray Price ("For The Good Times") and Sammi Smith ("Help Me Make It Through The Night)." Also appearing are three other hits with a rural flavor: "Mr. Bojangles" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, "One Toke Over The Line" by Brewer & Shipley and "Woodstock" by Matthews' Southern Comfort.Adding to the eclectic mix are long-forgotten "Yellow River" by Christie and Mark Lindsay's second solo single, "Silver Bird." There's something for every pop fan here. Anyone who remembers the Glass Bottle's radio hit "I Ain't Got Time Anymore" will appreciate that fact.If my ears could breathe, this compilation would be a breath of fresh air.
