A mixture of the familiar and the unfamiliar (to me), but there isn't a bad track amongst them. I was particularly taken with the Charlie Rich tracks, which are slightly more pop than country. Not sure if all of the tracks are "proper to the period" (e.g. Folsom Prison Blues?) but these don't sound like alternative/inferior versions - they seem to be the real deal. Well worth a punt...
