Jim Lauderdale - Country Super Hits Vol.1

Multi-talented performer and songwriter Jim Lauderdale must be one of the hardest working artistes in country music today, and every release is guaranteed to be first class whether he is playing bluegrass, classic country or good old honky tonk.

With his 2006 release Country Super Hits Volume 1, we get a collection of thirteen classic compositions featuring perfect country choruses and that wonderful honky tonk sound that first gained him a loyal cult following in the 1990s.

I just love a great opening track, and with the twang laden bar room swing of Honky Tonk Mood Again, we get just that, lovely vocal delivery and some superb pedal steel, great to get the party started.

Jim Lauderdale has a voice that can sound super smooth one minute then fierce and raucous the next and with songs such as Playing On My Heart Strings and Two More Wishes we get two excellent ballads, real tearjerkers. Country Super Hits Volume 1, I can’t wait for volume 2! ~ James Soars
