• Track Listing

The first half of Ray’s hugely successful Columbia career is documented in comprehensive fashion: every single side from 1950–62. Bask in that baritone as you hear his country Top 10s "Talk to Your Heart," "Don’t Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes," "I’ll Be There (if You Ever Want Me)," "Release Me," "Run Boy," "Crazy Arms," "You Done Me Wrong," "I’ve Got a New Heartache," "Wasted Words," "City Lights," "Invitation to the Blues," "The Same Old Me"…78 tracks, from smashes to overlooked B-sides, and what a bargain!
