King collection, with 77 recordings and a biographical book that contains the great singer-guitarist's own remembrances of his decades-long career.

Look What Thoughts Will Do
: :With his unparalleled dulcet voice, Texas honky-tonker Lefty Frizzell represents the crucial link between traditional country and modern interpreters such as George Jones and Merle Haggard. Frizzell grew up listening to Jimmie Rodgers and borrowed heavily from Rodgers's country-blues approach, infusing his vocals with sweet slurs and melodious slides. Wisely, this 2 CD set focuses on his early creative peak: 22 of the 34 cuts are from 1950 to 1953, adding only highlights of his erratic 1955-1965 work. Frizzell dominated the charts with hits including 'If You've Got the Money I've ...
