Got this LP from a friend just recently, and it's fascinating.
This seems to be a classic example of a country star of the 50's
trying to find his way into the 60's pop sound, and the results
are still more "country" than not - hell, Webb Pierce could sing
'Ave Maria' and make it sound country. Webb could also
sing a Bobby Vinton song and make it sound country, and on this
album he proves it.
Track list: I Ain't Never, It's My Way, Gotta Travel On (yes, THAT one),
I've Got My Fingers Crossed, I'll Never have to be Alone, Whirlpool of
Love, No Love Have I, Is It Wrong, I'm Tired (always loved Ricky Skaggs'
version of this), Poison Love, Public enemy Number One, In the Jailhouse
Now.
Anyway, neat album. Anyone know if any of these tunes turned up on CD
reissues? The record condition is pretty much below average.
