The original O sister collection
351295
Beginning with If wishes were horses by Claire Lynch (my favorite bluegrass singer), this is a thoroughly enjoyable collection of bluegrass music by some of the finest ladies in the business.
Apart from Claire, you will find tracks by Rhonda Vincent, The Stevens sisters, Laurie Lewis, the Cox Family, Alison Krauss and Lynn Morris to name just a few.
Hazel Dickens gets three tracks, including two duets - she is clearly the favorite of the compiler, as she gets four tracks on O sister 2. If the idea is to sell more of Hazel's own CD's, it may not work, as some people may decide they don't need any more. This would be a shame, as Hazel is a fine singer.
This collection has already been very successful, deservedly so. Rounder have released a follow-up, O sister 2, while Warners in Britain have released a double-CD, O sister where art thou, although that compilation is not limited to bluegrass.

I purchased as a birthday present for my niece which I have been building the collection for since she was born. Can't go wrong with the Precious moments collections. They have new versions, but this original style is still my favorite.

This collection features the original artwork.  When I found out they began reprinting the collection with a new artist, I immediately rushed to find this instead.  Get your copy while you can!

You can find almost every Cyndi's classic hits in the collection CD. From 1983 to 1997, the girl's anthem-"Girls Just Want To Have Fun" to the cool rock tune-"Sisters Of Avalon". Besides, the rare track out of "The Goonies" OST-"The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" is available here as well!

This album is Donny and Marie classic. Great purchase for true fans that want the album not a CD. For those of us that love the album covers of old, this one has been cared for and is in excellent shape.

Nice compilation for casual fans. Her real "Crystal Visions" are the songs that didn't hit the charts. The brillliant and melodic treasures hidden away on her solo albums.

I already own the collection, but my sister wanted it for her birthday so thats exactly what I got her. One of the best movies ever.

I heard this particular song by Suzanne Thomas on the recently released O SISTER CD. Absolutely enjoyed the vocal and music. I have yet to hear the balance of the album, however based on this single cut, I'm sure I'm not going to be disappointed.

A great CD collection and an excellent choice for anyone who is a fan of the Godfather of Soul! - This is my second time around with this box set of James Brown hits, as my first copy was "liberated" from me. But, it's great being able to listen to these great tunes all over again!!!

The compiler of this collection certainly has his or her favorites, as there are six tracks each by Glen Campbell and Johnny Cash, and five by Dave Dudley. A eventh track listed as being by Johnny Cash (The first Noel) is actually performed by a female group who I have not yet identified, but they sound great. I'm pleased to have the Campbell and Dudley tracks as I don't have their own Christmas albuma, and at least three of Dave Dudley's five songs are originals.

Other highlights for me include the two Johnny Paycheck tracks (Honky tonk Christmas, Christmas is), Lynn Anderson's version of The first Noel, Angels we have heard on high (the only Christmas recording I've heard by Janie Fricke), the two Jim Reeves tracks (An old Christmas card, Senor Santa Claus), It came upon the midnight clear (June Carter and the Carter family), O holy night (Connie Smith) and It must have been the mistletoe (Vikki Carr). I know that Vikki was never regarded as a country singer, but she recorded a lot of country songs amd this particular track sits very comfortably in this collection.

Although I would have preferred a wider spread of artists, this compilation represents great value for money if you like country oldies.

This UK budget album could actually be titled Greatest hits 1974-79, as it contains all her country hits from Wrong road again (1974) to Your kisses will (1979). She moved to another record label, where she continued to have hits beginning later that year with Half the way, but that for those tracks, you'll need a different compilation. The 1974-79 period is the one that Crystal is best remembered for, although she only had six #1 country hits during this time. She had a further three with Columbia and nine with Warner, but much as I like them, her most memorable recordings were for United Artists, and these occupy the first 24 tracks here. The last track was her very first country hit in 1970, recorded for MCA.

This set begins with the two tracks that Crystal is best remembered for (Don't it make my brown eyes blue, Talking in your sleep). If you're even thinking of buying this collection, you know about these two. Other songs you might recognize from other sources are Cry me a river (originally made famous by Julie London), It's all right with me (a cover of a Cole Porter song that adapts surprisingly well to country), Dreaming my dreams with you (a big country hit for Waylon Jennings) and One more time (based on the German song Karneval; I even have a German version of the song). Marianne Faithfull covered several of the songs featured here and was clearly a big fan of Crystal's music.

I could say a lot more about the music here, but suffice to say that this is fantastic value for a budget collection.

I love Patti LaBelle and always have wanted this album! I bought two - one for myself and one for my found biological sister that I "just" found 20 yrs. ago. Her and I ARE soul sisters! Both of us love it!

This group has such a unique sound and no one could confuse them for another group back in the 70s and 80s when they were at their peak.  These two sisters and brother have a strong harmony that comes from being family and their dedication to their gift.  One of the sisters, Annie, writes most of their songs on their other albums and also the arrangements.  These classic hymns are refreshing to listen to in the style only 2nd Chapter Of Acts can give it.  Relax to songs you grew up to as a child going to church, songs that give you strength and power.

This is the only CD compilation of Crystal's work that I have been able to find after a year of searching. The quality of the sound is clear and sharp, but obviously from the original masters, it hasn't been digitally re-mastered. Don't let that stop you from purchasing this collection though, the sound quality is still quite high despite not having been re-mastered.  The song selection is a nice mix, if you like Crystal's voice you can't go wrong with this one.
