________________________________________

From a cover of Settin the Woods on Fire in September 1952 to Blue House Painted White in
August of 1962, this four-CD set is a priceless overview of the best part of Porter Wagoners
career. Disc one features his earliest stuff, most of which is solid honky tonk material sung
in Hank Williams style. Most of it disappeared without a trace at the time, but its all extremely
enjoyable and shows some of Wagoners versatility. His own sound, as it developed on the later
songs on disc one and all of disc two, is more backwoods, with a strong folk component, but also
beautifully harmonized. Wagoners most striking attribute was the sheer joy evident in his singing
and playing, whether he was doing a deeply religious number (What Would You Do) or a loving
tribute to Bill Monroe (Uncle Pen). He was equally comfortable with bluegrass and also country-blues,
as is clear from the previously unissued My Brand of Blues, where he sounds a lot like Johnny Cash.
Disc three shows Wagoner working in a smoother, more sentimental and commercial country-pop-oriented
vein, but as late as 1959, he was still doing wonderfully exuberant numbers. Disc four covers the
early 60s, the period during which Wagoner continued to merge the stripped-down country of his roots
and the smooth Nashville sound. Among the outtakes released for the first time is Private Little World,
featuring a killer guitar solo totally unexpected in a romantic number like this. The accompanying book
is informative, though not as well organized as the usual Bear Family notes.
