Title NoteJerry Wallace scored his earliest hits on the pop charts in the late '50s, and crossed over to country radio in the '60s without having to change his style much at all; Wallace's early hits were clean, well-behaved stuff that rarely nodded toward rock & roll, and his country & western hits were countrypolitan at its most polished, built around Wallace's well-burnished baritone and arrangements that avoided fiddles and banjos in favor of clean acoustic guitar lines and rich vocal choruses. If Wallace's music wasn't especially bold or innovative, his craft was splendid, and The Best of Jerry Wallace is one of the few collections of his recordings that makes an effort to cover the full spectrum of his career, featuring tunes from his sessions for Challenge, Decca, MCA, and 4 Star. There are still a number of gaps here -- several noted hits, including "Shutters and Boards," are missing, and his recordings for Mercury and MGM have been ignored altogether -- but what's here is music that walks the fine line between country and easy listening with grace and charm, and "Even the Bad Times Are Good," "If You Leave Me Tonight I'll Cry," "My Wife's House," and "What's He Doin' in My World" are Nashville-centric romance delivered with real heart and a showman's touch. The definitive Jerry Wallace collection still waits to be compiled, but this disc is a more than adequate substitute until the real thing comes along. ~ Mark Deming If You Enjoy "The Best Of Jerry Wallace (CD)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "The Best Of Jerry Wallace (CD)" by Jerry Wallace (Artist)There are no customer reviews yet.
