A much-loved and collected 50s hillbilly hero finally makes his legal CD debut, with a handsome collection of his Hickory recordings and a few nice bonuses. Cajun Louisianan Al Terry was an early signing to Hickory and his career song Good Deal Lucille was the label's first hit. Besides Lucille he's also remembered for gems like Watch Dog and the Johnny Cash-like Roughneck Blue, both of which can be heard here in premium sound quality. Musicians of the calibre of the Kershaw brothers, Barkdull, Chet Atkins, Hank Garland, Floyd Cramer, Tommy Jackson and Al's steel guitar-playing brother Bob feature on this CD. The first Al Terry anthology since Bear Family's vinyl album released almost 25 years ago.
