More of these please! Much of Skeeter's music can only be gotten on LP (which can't be played in the car and such) so CD's like these are more than welcome. What a GREAT idea of Collectables to put two Camden albums of Skeeter on CD. The remastering of the songs has been done very well, it sounds great. Skeeter sounds great too (as always). I love all the songs on here although 'Give Me Death' and 'Hold me Thight' are so-so in my opinion. Thats not cause of Skeeter, its just that the songs aren't very appealing. Besides that, this CD is a must have in your Skeeter/Country/Country-Pop collection! I really hope someone is gonna make some more CD's of Skeeter soon. Compared to other (RCA) artists of her time she's being left behind a lot. A Must Have! Most of Skeeter's albums are long out of print which is a true shame. This wonderful cd combines two Skeeter lps onto one disc. If you want to hear a classic artist that perfectly combines pop and country I strongly encourage you to purchase this CD. I have played it numerous times and only enjoy it more each time. Go ahead treat yourself and hopefully encourage RCA/Camden to release more of this great music. I Found My Thrill! Blueberry Hill - and the End of the World BLUEBERRY HILL is from 1965 although the tracks span from 1958 on and include Skeeter's very first solo hit, "Lost To A Geisha Girl". This bargain CD is one of the year's best reissues, two classic RCA Camden collections from one of country music's pioneering female vocalists, Miss Skeeter Davis. The album includes two big top ten hits for Skeet, "Where I Ought To Be" and the lovely "Optimistic", as well as two more chart smashes "Homebreaker" and "The Little Music Box" (which peaking at number 22 was the least successful of the five hits here). Skeeter's girl group take on Fats Domino's classic title song is a superb original spin on the rock favorite while her double-track harmony on "Somebody Else on Your Mind" is one of the loveliest recordings she has ever done. Not everything is sweetness and light here, Skeeter goes gothic folk with her original composition "Give Me Death" as a wronged wife who murders her cheating husband and the other woman. THE END OF THE WORLD album here is not the original 1963 release but a 1973 collection (with the original version of Skeeter's legendary hit thank goodness!) that includes two other mega smashes for Skeeter, the unforgettable songs "I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know" and "Am I That Easy to Forget". Skeeter also covers everything from Johnny Cash's "Daddy Sang Bass" to the pop novelty hit "Little Arrows". And for those who picture Skeeter (rightfully so) as the ultimate girl next door, all wholesome friendliness and sweetness you may get a surprise by hearing her sexually charged performances of "Angel of the Morning" and "Son of a Preacher Man", performances of these much-covered pop hits as strong as anyone has ever done. This CD is a must for anyone who likes the best in country music and the best in pop music - also known as Miss Skeeter Davis!.
