The country singer that showed up on so many of our TV sets a few decades ago, while pushing his recordings, can be heard herein quintessential style and material. Whitman had a unique approach to mixing country and pop and these tracks form the late 1940s and 1950s will show that style to its fullest. The title track is definitive Whitman. Here is a pop song to which he adds his idiosyncratic, country-influence treatment, using steel guitar in a “talking guitar” technique along with a little hillbilly yodeling. In his later years he enjoyed tremendous success in the UK, of all places. Who would have thought a singer form Tamp could have made it so big. |
