Ernest Ashworth Greates Hits

During the 1960's Ernest Ashworth was certainly the real deal. In fact, between 1960 and 1970 every record recorded by Ernie hit the national charts!! At the dawn of the decade, Ashworth had three hits on the Decca label including two Top Ten smashes "Each Moment (Spent With You)" and "You Can't Pick A Rose in December". Then in the summer of 1962 Ernest Ashworth would sign with Acuff-Rose's Hickory records. It would prove to be a very fruitful relationship. Beginning with "Everybody But Me" Ashworth would reel off 5 consecutive Top Ten Hits on Billboards Top Country Singles chart. One of these, "Talk Back Trembling Lips" would become his signature song. Ernest Ashworth would become a regular on the Grand Ole Opry in 1964. But during the second half of the decade, Ashworth's popularity began to fade and he would never again appear on the charts after 1970.This CD is really one of the better values you will find. It is not often that you can get a quality collection for just $5.95. It is wonderful to hear the music of a traditional country artist. You are sure to enjoy the steel guitar on numbers like "I Take The Chance", "The DJ Cried" and "Because I Cared". There are a total of 12 tracks on this CD. Total playing time is just 28 min!! As usual the biggest downside to any Curb CD is the ugly packaging and lack of any kind of meaningful liner notes. I simply cannot imagine ever giving a Curb release a five star rating. But all things considered this really is an excellent collection and would be a welcome addition to your music library.

You will never hear the name Ernest Ashworth on your local or national radio station; and your chances of finding any of his recordings anywhere but here at Amazon, are even more remote! Ernest had one of the absolutely most distinct voices in country music; or any genre of music, for that matter. Actually, I found it took a little while to get use to his voice after initially listening to this album. On this collection of hits, is of course, "Talk Back Trembling Lips", his greatest hit of all (and a true classic). Other notable numbers include: "The DJ Cried", "Because I Cared", and his own version of "I Take the Chance". I am glad to see Curb records continue to release some of our more obscure, yet worthy, artists, and this cd cannot be beat for the price.

vert good for the price

I grew up with these songs. Glad to have it in my music library to take me back to my times back then when music was all we had. We didn't have TV until I was a sophomore in high school. Music was something special that we enjoyed with our Mom. Special memories!

This CD takes me back to a long ago time. He had the most unique voice. I have an autographed LP of this group of songs, and a few personal letters. I was a big time fan. Good CD!

i've wanted this album for a long time.i think i found it once before, but it was too expensive. this is great classic country music with lots of very good instrumentation. at least 8 or 9 of 12 great songs.

Ernest Ashworth was an excellent country singer this cd has all of his greatest hits on it i give this cd a 5 star.
