Living Guitars - For The Good Times and Other Country Favorites (1971) [Hi-Res]

The road from country music to pop is paved with good songs. Here are some of the best. Every tune in the album is a giant on the country charts, and most of them have made the journey over to the pop bestseller lists as well.

There's a wide variety in this package but it's melody that reigns supreme. So enter the Living Guitars, the talented combo that makes a rich tune richer, They are arranged and conducted here by Al Caiola, a man who knows about both Pop and country music and how they should meet.

And what a session.The album's title song is one of the hottest numbers around, the Ray Price favorite penned by that much talked about, highly successful new songsmith, Kris Kristofferson. Another Kristofferson tune included is Help Me Make It Through the Night, the Sammi Smith hit. And there's Rainin’ in My Heart which Hank Williams, Jr. did so well: the David Houston smash, A Woman Always Knows, the Bobby Goldsboro throbber, Watching Scotty Grow, and Marty Robbin’s beautiful Padre. A couple of other country giants heard here are big in pop as well, / Really Don't Want to Know and There Goes My Everything. And for good measure, there's an Al Caiola original, Our Love Is Deeper Than the Ocean.

When you have songs like this and the Living Guitars and Al Caiola, you're living in a captain's paradise. On the boat between country and pop.
