Digitally remastered by Benny Quinn (Masterfonics, Inc., Nashville, Tennessee).
This is part of RCA's Essential Series.
Basically a single-disc distillation of the box set THE ONLY DADDY THAT'LL WALK THE LINE, this compilation effectively spans Jennings' long and varied career, pulling out a few of the many highlights. The early days are represented by such classic tracks as "Good Hearted Woman" (written with fellow country outlaw Willie Nelson) and "The Taker." On these tunes, Jennings comes across as a raw but intelligent honky-tonker whose main aim is getting to the heart of the matter.
His outlaw streak is most apparent on mid-'70s songs like "Waymore Blues" and "Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way," where his legendary, groundbreaking fusion of country music with rock sensibilities invests the music with unprecedented verve and grit. Jennings' finest album HONKY TONK HEROES is inexplicably unrepresented here, but things are rounded out nicely by duets with his wife Jessi Colter ("Storms Never Last") and Willie Nelson ("Just to Satisfy You"). Definitive? Maybe not. Essential? Definitely.
