Here's the guy that kicked off the California Country sound. You can hear Wynn's influence not only in Merle Haggard and Buck Owens, but moreso, in Dwight Yoakam! In fact, Dwight covered Wynn's fine hit "Playboy". Included in this collection, are "Long Black Limousine" (a song covered by both Lefty and Keith Whitley) and "Above and Beyond" (A Buck Owens covered hit). Also, the duet with Jan Howard, "How the Other Half Lives" and "Wrong Company", will rival any duet Conway & Loretta or George & Tammy ever put together. This album is absolute pure honky-tonk with the finest fiddle sound to ever come out of your speakers (one listen to "Wishful Thinking" and you'll agree). If you like the Bakersfield Sound, you owe it to yourself to get this one. A+

I Love this CD. He had the most beautiful voice.. Slightly before My time but I'm so glad I get to listen to Him now.. The commercial ,"Another Day another Dollar," got Me hooked on Him and so glad it did..LOVE HIM..
He died way too soon..

Wynn Stewart was one of those singers that never received the notoriety he deserved, although, a big influence on country music and other singers who took a step higher than Stewart, like the legendary, Merle Haggard and Buck Owens - both men rounded off and completed the hardcore "Bakersfield" sound or the California sound that also influenced artist such as, Gram Parsons, and Dwight Yoakam. Wynn Stewart with a voice so unique, resonant, smooth and controlled, had the ability to turn a mediocre song and flip it to the hit side as you hear on this disc, the very best of the Challenge recordings, here's an early glimsp of this very underrated vocalist. There are better recordings of Wynn Stewart, (After The Storm, the Playboy sessions, and the Capitol recordings), any chance to hear the man is like pure gold, honky tonk at its best.

I received my CD of Wynn Stewart today. The case that the CD was in was cracked. Could you please forward me a new case.

This is a good assortment of songs for the Wynn Stewart fan. I had not heard his music for years and recently rediscovered him when I saw the commercial on TV with "Another Day, Another Dollar". It is too bad he was not more successful as he was very talented.

this is what country should sound like. Not this garbage they play today. That is country rock, and they try to tell us it is country, phooey, I love to listen to old country and that is all there is to it.

4.0 out of 5 stars 西海岸カントリーの大物のベスト盤
Reviewed in Japan on January 15, 2006
Wynn Stewartは、50年代末から60年代初頭にかなりのヒットを飛ばした、西海岸カントリー・ミュージシャンの大御所である。日本ではあまり知名度はないが(というか、カントリー音楽自体が人気がないのだが)、ベイカーズフィールド・サウンドの原型を作り、Buck owensに強い影響を与えたことは知っておいて損はないだろう。

このCDは、Wynn Stewartが最も脂がのっていた時期の作品を集めた、文字通り究極のベスト盤である。代表曲"How the Other Half Lives"、"Above and Beyond (The Call of Love)"の他にも、"One Way to Go"、"Don't Look Back"など佳曲がぎっしりと詰め込まれている。ストレート・カントリー・ファン感動必至のマスト・アイテムとして推薦したい。
