Ferlin Husky
Essential Classics, Vol. 558
(Essential Classics)
As they were Ferlin's deepest etchings on sales charts, "On the Wings" and "Gone" were obvious selections for inclusion. His pew-testimonies and heartsore ventures portrayed somber aspects. But more appealing to some fans (including this reviewer) were brassy high-steppers that showcased impeccable 1960s Country electric and steel-guitar masteries, and Ferlin's own loose and broadly grinning relatability. When the limber-limbed, Missouri-born caller reared back and belted out "I feel better all over more than anywheres else!" (as he did in 1966 film Las Vegas Hillbillys), everyone knew to believe him. Were Ferlin confronted by one of today's woke Pop-Country manikens, he would clean bust a gut.
