"...a wealth of engaging material on this impressively overstuffed sampler....a fascinating journey..." - Rating: B+, "...Starting with 'Hillbilly Music' by the likes of Fiddlin' John Carson...the COUNTRY set moves on through the classic cowboy laments of Gene Autry and the Sons of the Pioneers...early mainstream country...and primal bluegrass...", "...What redeems this enterprise is the abundance of great performances from known and forgotten musicians....a revelatory multicultural pop chronicle of the hopes, fears, daydreams, and nightmares of a society whose soul is embodied in its music. If you got the dime and an open mind, 100 YEARS is worthy of your downtime.", "...the INTERNATIONAL set mostly offers American-British sounding rock, pop, and dance music from artists around the globe....an impressive testimony to the vast reach, and canny ears, of the Columbia/Sony conglomerate." e

Billie Holiday, Marilyn Monroe, Marty Robbins, Mariah Carey, George Jones, Elaine Stritch, Billy Joel, Bobby Vinton
