K-Tel rolls on with their 16th volume of country hits. The latter half of the '50s is in the spotlight this time around, and what's on offer is a fairly good yet incredibly slim (only ten tracks) mix of the day's highlights from honky tonk to country crossover. While Johnny Horton delivers one of his patented geo-historical songs ("North to Alaska"), honky tonk stalwarts Ray Price and Webb Pierce get down to some fine pre-Nashville sound business. And as far as that crossover material goes, Jim Reeves and Eddy Arnold show off their svelte pipes, while Marty Robbins finds the middle ground between the rough and sweet poles of the music.

Topped off by a fine Johnny Cash side, Country Music Classics, Vol. 16 makes for some good introductory listening, especially if it comes your way for cutout-bin money. ~ Stephen Cook, Rovi
