The Original Singles Collection

The Original Singles Collection" produced by Colin Escott who also wrote a biography .ORIGINAL SINGLES COLLECTION...PLUS gathers all of Williams' 78s and 45s (plus 16 non-single songs performed solo) on one three-CD set. The result is a thorough chronological overview of Williams' phenomenal career, from its tentative beginnings to his first big hit ("Lovesick Blues," a non-original that held the number one spot for 16 weeks) through what could have been an endless stream of classic honky-tonk had Williams survived his addictions. The accompanying booklet includes many photos and a long essay by country scholar Colin Escott.
