Europa CD, VA. I discovered this one some years ago in my mum's record collection and it was this compilation and brought country music to my notice. This is country music's image here in Germany, a bit of truck drivin' Dace Dudley, one of Johnny Cash's early sun sides and other sixties and seventies country stuff coupled with an image of two lonesome cowboys, corny right? Europa was an european label that mostly produced LPs and albums with cover versions of hits (I have an LP with version of "See You Later Alligator" and "Let's Twist Again" by the Rudi Bohn Orchestra!). Several of the tracks on this comp are also covers. The obscure Nashville Gamblers are no american band, I think they come from Hamburg, Germany, and are still playing here. Maybe, the Blue River Connection is another of these cover bands. Anyway, hope you like it!track listing:
