From the time that Ford first stepped into Capitol's recording studio in 1949, until he left the label in '76, he recorded everything from swinging hillbilly boogies to American saga songs, pop standards and country favorites. This 20-track collection, focusing on his early days in the studio, assembles some of his biggest hits, but also a number of rarities and songs never reissued in the U.S. Highlights: "Smokey Mountain Boogie," "I'll Never Be Free" (with Kay Starr), "Hey, Good Lookin'" (with Helen O'Connell), "Sixteen Tons" and more.
