MCA Special Products'
Country Bluegrass rounds up ten highlights from
the Osborne Brothers' recordings for Decca in the '60s. Although these recordings don't find
the Osbornes at their most traditional, they're nevertheless quite enjoyable, particularly for casual fans who aren't looking for anything more than a sampler. Among the featured songs are "Roll Muddy River," "Blue Heartache," "Don't Let Smokey Mountain Smoke Get in Your Eyes," "Lizzie Lou," and "My Old Kentucky Home (Turpentine and Dandelion Wine)." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
