He is most famous for writing and recording the hit song \"Pistol-Packin' Mama\", which was also a hit for Bing Crosby \u0026amp; The Andrews Sisters, The Pied Pipers, and in 1960 for Gene Vincent. His style was informal and unsophisticated, his songs dealing with the customary lifestyle-related themes of down-home country, while his recordings also included some fine instrumental performances. This great-value 54-track 2-CD set comprises selected A and B sides from his releases on the Vocalion, Okeh and Columbia labels during this, the primary era of his career, and includes at least one side of a high proportion of his releases during these years. It features all his 16 career hits in the US pop and country charts, including the country No. 1s \"Pistol-Packin' Mama\", \"Rosalita\", \"Too Late To Worry\", \"So Long Pal\", \"I'm Losing My Mind Over You\", \"Guitar Polka\" and \"Wine Women And Song\", achieved in the years before the business of country music became more commercial and urbane. It's an entertaining cross-section of his work, and admirably showcases the many facets of his style and talent\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonky Tonk Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhisper Again That You Love Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCar Hoppin' Mama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonky Tonk Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou've Got Love in Your Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Days of Yesterday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Baby Loves Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBring It on Home to Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Happy When You're Happy 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJelly Roll Special 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Troubles Don't Trouble Me No More 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBar Hotel 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiddy Wah Diddy with a Blah Wah 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen We Go a Honky Tonkin' 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalking in My Sleep 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou May Be Sorry 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Little Honky Tonk Girl 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Soldier's Farewell 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Money You Spent Was Mine 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Will Always Be My Darling 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho's Been Here' 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeet Me Down in Honky Tonk Town 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonky Tonk Chinese Dime 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePistol Packin' Mama 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosalita 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Late to Worry 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Long Pal 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'll Wait for You, Dear 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Losing My Mind Over You 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriflin' Gal 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Lost Without You 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoney, Do You Think It's Wrong' 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuitar Polka 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Up to You 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWine, Women and Song 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Learned About Love 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKokomo Island 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown at the Road Side Inn 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho's Gonna Love You When I'm Gone' 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaybe Baby, It's Me 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Broom Boogie 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexas Waltz 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan This Love Be Real 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel House Boogie 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock and Rye Rag 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Leaving My Troubles Behind 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalico Rag 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Cry When I'm Blue 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust Take a Little Time 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalamity Jane 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the End of Each Day 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaturday Night Boogie 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Startin' Sweetheartin' Again 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach Night I Cry Over Your Picture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 824046334123\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Acrobat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47541394833629,"sku":"824046334123","price":145.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3826170-2570688.jpg?v=1772600170","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/al-dexter-his-troops-collection-1936-49","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
