On The Honky Tonk Highway: Tell The Truth And Shame The Devil is the first in Bear Family Records' new series of hard-hitting country music from artists who travelled the Honky Tonk Highway in the 1960s and '70s. 

This CD displays the full range of the astonishing recordings Jeannie C. Riley made for Plantation Records between 1968 and 1971, a time when her songs told the truth and shamed the devil.

Jeannie had 24 country hits and 6 pop hits, including her international smash Harper Valley P.T. A. - the only song by a female country singer to top both the country and pop charts until Dolly Parton went pop 13 years later. 

The accompanying booklet by Martin Hawkins tells the fascinating story of young Jeanne Carolyn Stephenson complete with original interviews and rare photographs.
