The final installment in this excellent series takes country music (on Columbia Records, at least) through the 60s, 70s and 80s and what a long, strange trip it's been. Label stalwart Johnny Cash kicks off the proceedings with "Daddy Sang Bass," one of his personal classics. But then, look: it's Bob Dylan, the Byrds and later, Poco -- rock and roll acts doing country! And what fine country it is; "Hickory Wind" is the absolute finest from the Byrds' Gram Parsons era and "Pickin' Up the Pieces" is a good early selection from Poco.
The rest is really a set of highs and lows, with the peaks including Merle Haggard's "Big City" and George Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," classics in any idiom, and gems from Rodney Crowell, Moe Bandy and Willie Nelson. (Amazon)

BILL KIRCHEN - King of Dieselbilly (2005)
http://www53.zippyshare.com/v/95498288/file.html
Ever since his early days with Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen in the 1960s, Bill Kirchen has been preaching the gospel of truck-driving music, and picking up a storm on his battered vintage Fender Telecaster while he's been doing it. Kirchen cut five fine albums of witty but potent honky tonk and rockabilly for the Hightone label between 1997 and 2002 (including the live album from his tour with the Twangbangers), and this compilation culls ten songs from four of those discs (for some reason, nothing from 1999's Big Hat made the cut). Kirchen's beloved trucking tunes dominate the set, including a cover of "Looking at the World Through a Windshield," his revved-up originals "Womb to the Tomb" and "Truck Stop at the End of the World," and not one but two live performances of "Hot Rod Lincoln," in which Kirchen shows off his ability to mimic the styles of a flock of other pickers, ranging from Merle Travis to Link Wray. Kirchen is an exceptional player on all ten cuts (a cover of Bob Dylan's "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" shows he can excel on stuff besides straight country material), and a strong singer and songwriter to boot, but this doesn't hold together with the same cohesion as Tied to the Wheel, Raise a Ruckus, or Hot Rod Lincoln Live!, the albums that provided the bulk of this material, and including both versions of "Hot Rod Lincoln" (which aren't all that different) wasn't an inspired programming choice. King of Dieselbilly is a good introduction to Bill Kirchen's solo work, but if you like this at all, you're advised to dig deeper into this guy's back catalog, which is full of great stuff.(by Mark Deming, Allmusic)

Hi and thanks for the Columbia series, but vol.5 doesn't seem to be working, I've tried three times and the file came out empty.
