Known as the ‘King Of Country Music’, Roy Acuff championed traditional country music values, yet helped to steer the music away from its raw, bluesy, Hillbilly String Band Music origins to a more singer-oriented style of Country Music, which was to give the music a wider and more international appeal. This collection celebrates a true giant of Country Music, a major influence on the direction it took, and how it sounds today.
