Eddie Arnold Sings The Hits (Country compilation)

 

Picture: C     Sound: C     Extras: C     Compilation: C+

 

 

Eddie Arnold was one of the great showmen of Country Music and his TV series Eddie Arnold Time was an early success as a program in the genre.  He sang and played guitar well, but also had a sense of joy in his work that added dimension that makes the shows hold up decades later.  The compilation offers the following songs:

 

1)     Tennessee Waltz

2)     Easy On The Eyes

3)     Just Another Polka

4)     She’s A Rose From My Garden Of Prayer

5)     Hoop De Doo

6)     Muskrat Ramble

7)     Hi Neighbor

8)     Sippin’ Cider Through A Straw

9)     Nobody’s Darling But Mine

10)  Cat’s Whiskers

11)  May The Good Lord Bless & Keep You

 

 

This is for old-style Country & Western fans that like the mid-20th Century era of the genre.  The choices are interesting and this could make Arnold a few new fans.

 

The 1.33 x 1 monochrome image shows its age with a lack of detail and softness in other ways that show the age of the materials, on top of how these copies are a few generations down.  The Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono is equally aged and flat, but is just clear enough to hear the music.  There is actually an extra here in the form of an interview with Arnold that is recent and runs over 40 minutes, including his thoughts on the industry, Elvis and Colonel Tom Parker.
