Here's Faron Young/Occassional Wife 2on1

On EVERY Faron Young Mercury album, you could ALWAYS find those honky tonk gem of a songs with the twin fiddles and steel guitar and honky tonk shuffle. This is no exception. Two fantastic albums. A must buy if you are a Faron Young fan.

just one of the best western singers in all western music even if I like certain songs on this cd

this a great cd,the sound is incredible and the songs great.faron is COOUNTRY.guys like this are hard to replace true country!form a man that had a legendary carreer that led him to the HALL OF FAME.

it wasn't tall enough, that is my only thing about it. Other than that it passed every one at the VFW lked it.

Faron at his best

I was fairly upset by the sound quality of some tracks.Some sounded like 128 kps downloads others quite good.

No one could sing like Faron. Love it.

The set combines two late 60s/early 70s albums by Faron Young on the Mercury label on one CD. The running time is still fairly short, clocking in at almost 55 minutes. There's lots of great honky tonk weepers and great music on the disc, though.Aside from the hits - "I Just Came to Get my Baby," "If I Ever Fall in Love With a Honky Tonk Girl" (one of my favorites) - I don't think most of this music has been available since it was released nearly 40 years ago. Two other smaller hits are also on the CD - "Occasional Wife" and "She Went a Little Bit Farther" - as well.The rest combines some great up tempo songs such as "Here's to the Girls" and "My First Taste of Loneliness" to weepers like "Missing You Was All I Did Today." There's also a version of "Before the Next Teardrop Falls" that pre-dates Freddy Fender's hit version by about five years.This set gets some of Young's fine Mercury work back out in the marketplace. Before this set, only the 20th Century Masters series contained any of Young's later work. All of Faron Young's Capitol sides are available through Bear Family and the best are available on the excellent two-disc set The Complete Capitol Hits of Faron Young by Collector's Choice Music.Young's music stands the test of time for fans of classic country and the honky tonk sound. I highly recommend this.

Fantastic got it just in time for my brothers funeral was his favourite song thanks very much

I've been searching, for quite a while, for the "Mercury Records" recordings of Faron's, on CD. I am very pleased to not only find they are being issued, on CD, but that, like this CD, they contain not only one full album, but two. I hope to see more available. Those "Mercury" years, in my opinion, were some Faron's best recordings.
