Mickey Newbury - Mickey Newbury Collection [8 CD Box Set]

Mickey Newbury's songs came to the attention of Wesley Rose of Acuff-Rose Music in Nashville, who summoned him to Nashville in 1964. Mickey quickly became one of the premiere songwriters in Nashville, and in the 1960's had  number 1 hits in Pop, Country, Rhythm & Blues and Easy Listening charts.

After numerous releases on major labels, in 1996 Mickey formed his own music production and distribution company, Mountain Retreat.

Mickey Newbury passed away at his home in Springfield, Oregon on September 29, 2002 after a lengthy illness. He was recognized as one of America's finest songwriter-performers, and his songs have been recorded by hundreds of other artists, including Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Joan Baez, Kenny Rogers, and Waylon Jennings.
