Country music has been around for a good hundred years - in that time, this blend of European immigrant folk traditions, cowboy ballads, Irish and Celtic fiddle tunes and blues has evolved from discredited "working-class music" to the most listened-to genre on American radio. That the triumphant rise of country & western music began in the mid-20th century is evidenced by this 10-CD box set of all the songs that topped the C&W charts from 1944 through 1962. The great stars of this still style-defining era of American country music, from Eddy Arnold to Johnny Cash, are immortalized in this musical journey through time with their big hits. You'll hear many titles that are familiar to us, but also some that surprisingly no one remembers. It's also interesting to note that in the American C&W charts you'll find artists who actually belong more to rock'n'roll, like Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins or Jerry Lee Lewis, or even to jazz or rhythm'n'blues, like Nat "King" Cole or Louis Jordan.
