The Best of Roy Acuff [Curb]

by Roy Acuff

Overview

Curb's The Best of Roy Acuff collects a selection of '60s hits and a number of re-recordings Acuff made in the '60s while signed to Hickory Records, a label he began with his publishing partner Fred Rose. By this point, Acuff's recording career was no longer successful; he concentrated on the Grand Ole Opry. Nevertheless, these re-recordings are entertaining, although they are considerably slicker and less affecting than his early, groundbreaking tracks. As a sampler of Acuff's '60s sound, The Best Of is effective. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
