The Best Of 80 let / 60 psn – 3 CD

This three-CD collection celebrates country singer and harmonica player Tom Linka as he approaches his eightieth birthday. It brings together several dozen hits from past decades as well as six new songs, including his version of Kdy milenky plou. Linka, one of the last cowboys of a remarkable generation of musicians who began recording in the late 1960s, has moved from American traditional songs such as Jesse James, Rok 1849, Lojza a Lza and erven eka, and classics by Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, through the songwriting traditions of Gordon Lightfoot and John Denver, to contemporary electrified country rock. Alongside well-known adapted songs such as Pan m se m, Je mi lto, Chci bt vodou na tvj mln, Hraj fr, Tisc ml nikam and Plnon kovboj, the compilation also presents Czech repertoire. The 60 songs, recorded with Greenhorns, Feky, Cadillac PB and Pm linka, offer more than three hours of listening to a respected country bard.
