Renaissance Records, a Tennessee-based label, has put out a couple of interesting collections - well, interesting to me, anyhow - that are worth keeping an eye out for if you've got an interest in 70s country that extends beyond Jones, Haggard, etc. I recently picked up two comps of material by Janie Fricke and Charly McClain, and aside from the peculiar decision to devote 2 CDs to the latter and only one to the former, they're very nicely done. All of your favorites - well, mine, anyhow - are here, from "Down To My Last Broken Heart," "Don't Worry 'Bout Me Baby," and "I'll Need Someone To Hold Me (When I Cry)" to "Who's Cheatin' Who," "The Very Best Is You" and "Surround Me With Love." And no, I don't care to look into the extent to which this is a manifestation of artistry vs. nostalgia <g>. Jon Weisberger Kenton County, KY [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.fuse.net/jonweisberger/
