Another chapter in it the BMG Heritage "Ultimate" series, the
Eddy Arnold volume has virtually everything any "common" fan, or mid-level country music historian, would ever want on a single disc. Twenty Top Three singles covering 21 years of
Arnold's tenure with RCA are compiled here with completely remastered sound. From "What Is Life Without Love," which topped the country charts in 1946, to "I Wanna Play House with You" in 1951, to "Make the World Go Away" in 1965, and beyond, they are all here. Liner notes were written by
Rich Kienzle and added to by
Chet Atkins. For anyone curious about
Arnold -- and there is a lot to be curious about -- this is an awesome place to start.
