Porter Wagoner - Sings His Own (1971) [Hi-Res]

As the title makes plain, Sings His Own contains nothing but originals from Wagoner, most of them straight-ahead burnished honky tonk and country ballads, punctuated every so often by a character sketch like “Albert Erving,” a deceptively upbeat portrait of a homeless man, and Porter’s signature cornball recitations, like “Brother Harold Dee.” There may be no outright Wagoner classics here but it’s a strong record with no weak spots, driven by the terrific “Late at Night,” the mournful “Lonely Comin’ Down,” the two-step “Be a Little Quieter,” and the gospel-inflected “How High Is the Mountain.”
