Pierce's run of hits in the '50s is as impressive as any in the history of country--that of Williams included--and his slicker, more produced approach paved the way for Nashville's countrypolitan radio dominance. The Living End's fantastic new collection MORE AND MORE WEBB PIERCE THE WONDERING BOY refers to two of his greatest songs--"More and More" and "Wondering"--and is a stellar overview of this country-music god. |  | In addition to the abovementioned tracks, all Pierce's essential number ones are here--including "There Stands the Glass," "Slowly," "In the Jailhouse Now," and "Back Street Affair"-- peppered with stand-out B-sides and other classic performances. Listeners looking for a definitive overview should seek out Bear Family's four-disc box THE WONDERING BOY: WEBB PIERCE 1951-1958, but for a more concise summation of his career-defining hot streak in the '50s, this set has no equal. | Producer: Ray Crick (Compilation) |
