The title says it all: this 10-CD-BOX presents the 26 most successful ORIGINAL ALBUMS by the great, world-famous country stars from the years 1947 to 1956. All the stars from this great era of Country & Western are represented here - MERLE TRAVIS, EDDY ARNOLD , HANK SNOW, HANK WILLIAMS, LEFTY FRIZZELL, ERNEST TUBB, WEBB PIERCE, JIM REEVES, THE LOUVIN BROTHERS, JIMMIE RODGERS, KITTY WELLS and MARTY ROBBINS. A particularly rare highlight is the "Memorial Album" by Jimmie Rodgers, the "FATHER OF COUNTRY MUSIC", who died in 1933 at the tender age of 35. All of the recordings on this album are from the 1920s. In this box set you can hear hits like "Sixteen Tons", "The Cattle Call", "Lost Highway", "Jambalaya", "The Golden Rocket", "In the Jailhouse Now", "I'm Movin 'On", "The Rovin Gambler", "Red River Valley", "Home on the Range", "Waiting For A Train", "Release Me" and many more. However, this unique documentary does not only include hits, but also many "gems" that did not make the charts. A rare treat not only for collectors, but also a journey of discovery through the realms of American country music.
