With 158 hits on 10 CDs, the ‘Golden Age of Country’ is the most comprehensive collection ever devoted to country music of the 1950s and ’60s. We’ve brought together all the major C&W stars and their hits from the two most important decades in the genre’s history.

Plus, we’ve included two very special CDs of
rarely anthologized hard-to-find’ hits by artists like Wilma Lee & Stoney Cooper, Ernest Ashworth, and Roy Drusky. It’s a dream collection for any fan of classic country music.
