"Love Songs (Legacy)" (01/10/2006) Country Parton, Dolly, Legacy RecordingsPersonnel: Dolly Parton; Kenny Rogers, Porter Wagoner. Recording information: 1974 - 1984. This 2006 Legacy collection focuses on the romantic side of Dolly Parton's work, drawing on studio tracks recorded between 1974 and 1985. The well-selected 14-song set includes the country legend's duets with both her mentor, Porter Wagoner (the buoyant "Please Don't Stop Loving Me"), and her husky-voiced contemporary Kenny Rogers (the smooth, Bee Gees-penned hit "Islands in the Stream" and the chiming "Real Love"). Most notably, LOVE SONGS presents the achingly gorgeous original version of "I Will Always Love You," a song often associated with Whitney Houston, but penned by Parton herself.

"Love Songs" (09/18/2001) Country Twitty, Conway, Flashback - RhinoPersonnel includes: Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn. Producers: Conway Twitty, David Barnes, Owen Bradley, Loretta Lynn, Ron Chancey. Compilation producer: Andy McKaie. Recorded between 1967 and 1994. Digitally remastered by Doug Schwartz (2001 Audio Mechanics). Conway Twitty sang relatively few love songs, so this well chosen collection, recorded between 1967 ("Walk Through This World With Me") and 1981 ("Lovin' What Your Lovin' Does to Me"), represents pretty much the cream of the crop. It also makes a strong case for Twitty's artistic vision having been in place from the beginning. Despite the changes in technology, the songs here sound like they were recorded at one marathon session rather than over nearly two decades. Highlights include two duets with Loretta Lynn, and "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'," which, deservedly, was one of his signature tunes.

"Love Songs" (01/11/2005) Country Jennings, Waylon, BMG HeritageRecording information: 1972 - 1992. Waylon Jennings is known first and foremost as the king of Outlaw Country, the man whose rebellious image and rough-and-ready, rock-influenced sound changed the face of country music in the 1970s. As LOVE SONGS makes clear, though, that doesn't mean he entirely eschewed the world of romance. Like any country singer worth his boots, Waylon did plenty of singing about the ladies. Even on his classic '70s albums (many of which are represented here), there was always a love song or two tucked away amid the rabble-rousers, such as the elegantly simple "You Ask Me To," from his career-making HONKY TONK HEROES, and the poignant Hank Williams tune "Let's Turn Back the Years," from the equally definitive DREAMING MY DREAMS. For the good of all concerned, LOVE SONGS largely avoids dipping into Jennings's often-inconsistent '80s work, focusing instead on the juicier portions of his catalogue, and presenting a seldom-considered side to the man who made it cool to be an outlaw again.

"In the Mood: The Love Songs" (02/04/2003) Country Alabama, RCA NashvilleAlabama: Jeff Cook (vocals, guitar); Teddy Gentry (vocals, bass); Randy Owen (vocals); Mark Herndon (drums). Additional personnel: Mark Casstevens (acoustic guitar); J.T. Corenflos (electric guitar); John Jarvis (Hammond B-3 organ, keyboards); David Hungate (fretted & fretless bass); Shannon Forrest (drums, shakers, loops). When the all the votes are finally tallied, perhaps only Garth Brooks will be able to challenge Alabama for the title of Most Influential Contemporary Country Artist Of All Time. It's easy to forget that before Alabama, country singers were basically divided into two categories: old-style cowboys and new-school popsters. Alabama, however, set a completely new standard by combining slick corporate rock of the R.E.O. Speedwagon variety with just enough good-ol'-boy charm to maintain a core rural audience. IN THE MOOD: LOVE SONGS compiles all of Alabama's best ballads and serves as an excellent showcase for the group's unique appeal. Every song here would fit perfectly on radio playlists right alongside an '80s Lionel Richie hit, yet somehow maintains an undeniable link to the kind of weepy, tear-in-your-beer classics made famous by George Jones. Released in February 2003 just in time for Valentine's Day, IN THE MOOD: LOVE SONGS makes the perfect soundtrack for any romantic liaison that's a little bit country and a little bit rock & roll.

"Love Songs" (02/05/2002) Country Montgomery, John Michael, Atlantic NashvilleProducers include: Scott Hendricks, Doug Johnson, Csaba Petocz, John Michael Montgomery, Garth Fundis. This collection of greatest hits by the platinum-selling country singer spans most of the '90s, from one of his first massive hits, the poignant "I Love the Way You Love Me," to 1999's song of the working man "Home to You." John Michael Montgomery ploughs a pretty mainstream furrow, even for a top selling '90s country artist, but he's got the art form down to a "T." As the title suggests, there are no road anthems the likes of BRAND NEW ME's "I Love It All" to be found here, but Montgomery performs creditably on songs such as "I Can Love You Like That" and especially on the delicate "Oh How She Shines," archetypal weepy country par excellence. LOVE SONGS is a winning collection that displays a singular facet of this singer's talent, and leaves the listener eager for more.

"Sings Songs Of Love" (04/17/2001) Country Cline, Patsy, Universal Special ProductsAs the title implies, SINGS SONGS OF LOVE is a compilation of Patsy Cline's romatically inclined material, from throughout her all-too-short career. Producer: Owen Bradley. Compilation producer: Bob Zipkin. As budget compilations go, this one actually has a reason to live; in fact, it's got a concept - Cline singing romantic ballads - that actually makes sense, both musically and thematically. It's also helpful that most of these songs were recorded around the same time (early '60s), which means that the instrumental backing - twangy guitars, the piano banging out triplets, Jordannaires style chorus vocals - has a nice consistency. Several of Cline's biggest hits are here of course ("Crazy," "Sweet Dreams," "I Fall to Pieces"), but there are also excellent, lesser known tracks including nice covers of the Duprees doo-wop classic "You Belong to Me," and Cole Porter's "True Love."
