| The transition from cassette to CD was easy with this one. I grew up listening to Johnny Horton, even singing the songs at night with my father before bed. A great storyteller and singer. This CD will not disappoint any fan. |

| I have listened to Johnny Hortons songs for years when they were played on the radio. Now I can listen anytime with my greatest hits CD. Great songs by a great singer and storyteller. Even my teenage boys like most of the songs! |

 Memorable Tunes Abound
Submitted on: 2004-11-02 |

| Well, half of the tunes on this CD will conjure up pleasant memories for those around at the time of Johnny Horton's time in the limelight. "I'm a Honkytonk Man", "Sink the Bismarck", my classmates' favorite, "All for the Love of a Girl", "I'm a One Woman Man", the list goes on. Johnny Horton was married to Billie Jean Williams, Hank, Sr.'s widowed wife. Just a few years earlier, he had lived in Alaska which may have inspired him to sing "When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below") and the theme song to John Wayne's "North to Alaska" which I believe is his signature song. This CD recalls all those great songs of the 50s and 1960. Interestingly enough, the day after Johnny's fatal car accident November 4, 1960, John Wayne's old friend, character actor Ward Bond, died of a heart attack. This CD is recommended as it is an important tribute to the time. |

Nice mix of his two major styles...

| Mr. Horton died too young, but the tracks he left behind are great to hear. Known first as a honky-tonk type country singer in the mold of Hank Williams, but often with a Cajun flavor, Johnny got really famous for historical saga songs such as "Battle of New Orleans." (See the CD of "Johnny Horton Makes History" for all of those.) Here there are five in that style, and 11 in the love song vein. All are worthy choices for a 40-minute sample of Johnny's vocal gifts. His is a voice I have never tired of, and I've been a fan of his since about 1960. |
