50 Country Number Ones: 50 American Country Chart-Toppers (2-CD)

by Various Artists

While each of these titles will be familiar to any serious country music fan, many will also appeal to pop fans who bought singles in the late 1950s and early 60s - when many of the songs on this collection also became hits on the pop charts. This collection embraces the very best of what has been called roots music and Americana - but which we know best as Country Music. DISC 1 1. I Walk The Line - Johnny Cash 2.
