Get those tissues ready,
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: 20 All-Time Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Red Sovine sang or narrated classic country weepies of a type that wouldn't get airplay if recorded today. Although he topped the country charts via Why baby why, a duet with Webb Pierce (not included here), Red is best remembered for Teddy bear, a song about a disabled boy whose father (a trucker) had recently died in an accident. Incredibly, this song became a top five pop hit in the UK when the CB radio craze was at its height. While that proved to be a one-off, Red had a number of hits on the American country charts, many included here.Teddy bear, though not like anything most country singers ever recorded, was typical of Red's narrations, which also included Little Rosa, Giddy up go and Phantom 309. The boy in Teddy bear featured in various sequels including some of Red's other songs. When offered a song about his death, Teddy bear's last ride, Red refused to record it, enabling Diana Williams to have a country hit with it. Red refused to accept that the boy was dead and retaliated by writing and recording Little Joe. Red occasionally sang, as in I know you're married but I love you still (a song later covered by Porter and Dolly), but it is his narrations that he is best remembered for. Red's appeal these days may be limited but when it comes to country narrations, only Porter Wagoner and Johnny Cash could match him - and their narrations weren't about truck driving. So Red Sovine was and remains unique. There will never be another like him.

Lost and forgotten,
By Ari (Columbus Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 20 All-Time Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Red Sovine?? Who the heck is that?? Thats all I hear from my friends who now listen to new yuppie country music...Red Sovine is one of the many forgotten heroes of country music, and this album is the epitome of his work. Little Joe, Teddy Bear, Phantom 309... all these songs will bring teirs to your eyes. He's so humble, so sincere in his music, its like sitting by the fire at camp and listening to old ghost stories, only from a trucker. You gotta try this music out!!!

AWESOME!!TIMELESS!!!!!!!!!!!,
By Bernard Satterfield "TRUCKIN' ON" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 20 All-Time Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
RED'S songs will never fade and i'm glad i could find these cd's. My father has been a truck driver all his life. I grew up listening to these songs and even as a child i liked them. Sometimes you tend to forget how much your family really means to you and how good you have it. These songs remind you and really make you appreciate life with all its up's and downs. Also these songs appreciate truckers which today you dont see much of.

Wonderful Country Artist,
By BubbasGirl "Me" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 20 All-Time Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
I grew up listening to my mom play "Teddy Bear", "Phantom 309" etc., and I think they were some of the most interesting and heart wrenching songs I have ever heard. Even today "Daddys Girl" reminds me of times I spent with my own father, who passed away last year. Red Sovine put into words so many years ago what many people felt and still think today.
