Too Good to Stop: Greatest Hits 1974-1985
For the first time on one definitive CD, Too Good To Stop: Greatest Hits 1974-1985 combines every major hit by the legendary MICKEY GILLEY. Gilley began his extraordinary career in the 1950s when, like his cousin Jerry Lee Lewis, he was playing a mix of country, pop, gospel and R&B; but it wasn't until the 1970s that he became a country music superstar. Closely aligned with the 'Urban Cowboy' phenomenon, between 1974 and 1985 Gilley racked up 17 US Country #1s, plus a further nine US Country Top 10 hits: all are included on this superb, multi-label hits collection. Culled from his recordings for the Playboy, Epic and Asylum labels, such era-defining honky-tonk hits as 'Room Full of Roses', 'Overnight Sensation', 'She's Pulling Me Back Again', 'True Love Ways', 'Stand by Me', 'That's All That Matters', 'A Headache Tomorrow (Or a Heartache Tonight)', 'Lonely Nights', 'Paradise Tonight' and 'Too Good To Stop Now' all stand up remarkably well today. From tear-inducing ballads like 'I Overlooked an Orchid' to juke-joint ravers like 'Don't the Girls All Get Prettier at Closing Time', this is Gilley at his pure country best. Complete with 12-page color booklet, detailed liner notes and superb quality audio. Too Good To Stop: Greatest Hits 1974-1985 is a career-defining compilation.
