Cat. No. DVD 1399: VARIOUS ARTISTS ~ COUNTRY ANTHOLOGY - THE CLASSICS. VOL. 1. RAJON RV0198.

COLOUR                 RUNNING TIME: 70 MINS.

REVIEW: As the title suggests this is the first volume of an ongoing series of country music performances. All performances are “live” and it would appear they have lifted from the Church Street Station series of video releases. Some I have in my collection others I do not and have not seen before so this is a good addition to my personal collection. The quality both visually and audio is good as the majority of the Church Street Station videos are obviously because they have been professionally recorded for television. VERY GOOD ****
