Lead Performance: Webb Pierce; Genre: Country/Bluegrass
A+
Want to explain to Garth Brooks fans what real country music is? Hand 'em this CD. Pierce ruled country in the '50s with 13 No. 1 hits; he recorded the ultimate alcoholic song (''There Stands the Glass'') as well as the most exquisite country ballad about falling in love (''Slowly''). His pinched, nasal whine and whooping croon defined hardcore honky-tonk vocalizing, and the 18 songs here delineate romance and heartbreak as well as anything in the genre.
