AllMusic Review by Cub Koda

This set has been promoted as an infomercial on TV, but don't be fooled for a second. Amidst all the hype is a half-effective set of country standards mixed with sneaky remakes masquerading as the original tracks. With all the hoopla in the advertising, one would think that 101 tracks could be crammed into something a bit sleeker than the ten discs that this set encompasses, and if not, at least the original recordings could have been used. A real burn for the money.
