(The collection omits several records which are unavailable for copyright reasons). There were plenty of established names from the 1940s still enjoying success, like Red Foley, Ernest Tubb, Eddy Arnold and Gene Autry, but new artists from the honky-tonk scene were making their impact around this time, with Hank Snow, Lefty Frizzell, Tennessee Ernie Ford and Carl Smith all having several hits. Patti Page is the only solo female artist featured, although Mary Ford, Margaret Whiting and Anita Carter are there in duets, and as is often the case with these collections there are also one or two collectable obscurities. It's a fascinating and entertaining musical snapshot of the country scene as the music industry was embarking on a new decade, and with an in-depth 12,000+ word booklet with background notes on every record as well as full discographical and chart information, it gives a solid overview of the most popular country music of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eLefty Frizzell - I Love You A Thousand Ways\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHank Williams with His Drifting Cowboys - Moanin' The Blues\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHank Snow - The Golden Rocket\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLefty Frizzell - If Yiou've Got The Money I've Got The Time\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHank Snow - I'm Movin On\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eGene Autry - Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eStuart Hamblen - Remember Me I'm The One Who Loves You\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eEddy Arnold - The Lovebug Itch\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eGene Autry - Frosty The Snowman\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTennessee Ernie - The Shot Gun Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eKay Starr \u0026amp;
