This 51-track 2-CD collection comprises the A and B sides of his singles on the Scoop, Plaza, Monument, Everest, Decca and Tap labels, plus most of the tracks from his Monument album “Travellin’ On”, his Monument EP “Grammer Guitar”, and the Decca album “Gospel Guitar”. It features his No. 4 million-selling US pop hit “Gotta Travel On”, and his chart entries from these years “Bonaparte’s Retreat” and “The Kissing Tree”. This collection captures the first important formative years of his career, when he established his reputation, and is a nicely representative showcase for the different strands of his particular approach to country.
