Gold Reviews: Conway's Gold  2009-12-16 - This is a must for any Conway Twitty fan. Contains most of his more popular numbers. And no one..but no one..can "growl" like Conway Twitty.
impressive  2008-09-02 - This was one of my favorite collections, not just by Conway Twitty but by anyone. "15 Years Ago," "Hello Darlin," "Julia," "Desperado Love," and many others of his greatest hits are on this 2-disc collection. Any fan of Conway will love this, and it will make a fan of non-fans. It met and exceeded my expectations.
Great Collection!  2008-02-13 - Im not a huge country fan, but I just fell in love with the song Hello Darlin which I heard from a clip that The Family Guy TV show used in a HEE HAW mocking. This CD had alot of Conway Twitty hits and his early Rock and Roll stuff. Plus the songs sounded of great quality (Remastered). Huge fan now...... thanks Family Guy!
Conway Twitty At His Best  2007-02-10 - I love this CD. It has all his great songs, from the very beginning, to his last ones, and all the great hits in between. The two songs that made me decide to buy this CD are "Loney Blue Boy" (which was very hard to find) and "That's My Job". Any true Conway fan will literally fall in love with this CD.
Nice overview, but get the box set if you can  2006-05-31 - Stretching from 1968's "Next In Line" to 1986's tame "Desperado Love," Conway Twitty's string of #1 country hits is indeed impressive. Yet his amply annotated and illustrated Gold forgoes 10 (including "Somebody's Needin' Somebody," "The Games That Daddies Play" and a few duets with Loretta Lynn) that spent a single week at the top in order to expand the chronological set's reach, hold it to 40 songs and provide four 1958-60 MGM charters predating his country career.
A set titled Gold inevitably skips his long-unissued Sun sessions recorded under his original name, Harold Jenkins, and obscure Mercury sides done after he became Conway Twitty, somewhat based on Bye Bye Birdie's character Conrad Birdie. The emphasis is hits: partly narrated "Happy Birthday Darlin'," nostalgic "Play, Guitar, Play," a not-too-disco "Slow Hand," three duets with Lynn. So personal is his tone that any woman could imagine he's singing "I Would Love To Lay You Down" just to her in her home. His voice holds its own against "I May Never Get To Heaven"'s grandiose backup. An abdominal aneurysm felled Twitty in 1993, at a young 59, just two years after his final top-10 country hit, the package's finale "I Couldn't See You Leavin'."
Get the four-disc The Conway Twitty Collection (1994) for the most complete picture of his career if you can afford it.
