"Honky Tonks, Truckers And Tears", Ace's first volume of Red Sovine's classic Starday recordings, was something of a surprise best seller for us as a new release in 2005. Those who only know Red for his posthumous UK #1 'Teddy Bear' will find that there's a lot more to him and his music once they sample "I'm The Man". Unlike its predecessor, which featured many of the classic recitations that gave Red some of his biggest hits, our second helping of Red Sovine offers nothing but hard-core country songs drawn from over a decade's worth of Starday singles.
As well as numerous fine songs exclusive to his catalogue, "I'm The Man" also features Red's excellent take on classics from the catalogues of George Jones, Roy Drusky, Charlie Rich, Moon Mullican, the Delmore Brothers, the York Brothers and Wayne Raney.
