This is a two dvd set that showcases many of traditional country music's legends. It originally aired in 1978 in two two-hour showings: Country Night of Stars (disc one) and Country Night of Stars II (disc two). The performances are again notable in that they showcase many of country's original legends who are no longer with us (i.e. Johnny Paycheck, Uncle Dave Macon (clip), Tennessee Ernie Ford, Conway Twitty, Jimmie Davis, Roger Miller, Royce Kendall, Eddy Arnold, Pee Wee King, Don Gibson, Lester Flatt, Dottie West, Freddie Fender, and Eddie Rabbitt). Each hour had a different host. Disc one was hosted by Charle Pride and Tennessee Ernie Ford, and Disc two was hosted by Crystal Gayle and Eddy Arnold. An abridged track listing follows:Disc oneIs Anybody Going to San Antone - Charley PrideKiss an Angel Good Morning - Charley PrideTake This Job and Shove It - Johnny PaycheckWoman to Woman - Barbara MandrellTake Me Back to My Old Carolina Home - Uncle Dave Macon (clip)Marie Laveau - Bobby BareSomeone Loves You Honey - Charley PrideTex Ritter medley - Jimmy DeanLittle Junior - Gary Stewart#1 With a Heartache - La CostaGotta Quit Looking At You Baby - Dave and SugarHits medley - Charley PrideMedley - Tennessee Ernie FordHits Medley - Tom T.

Todays country music is yesterdays Pop and Rock. Why they moved into the country field I don't know. Most female artist today is just wide open mouth screaming and male artist just talk, one step above Rap. No one seems to sing anymore. This DVD contains some of our best country artist in their prime. They sing and can carry a tune. If you long for good country music, then you will injoy this DVD.

I truly enjoyed watching this DVD because it features live performances of some of my favorite artists of the 1970's including Ronnie Milsap, Barbara Mandrell, Anne Murray and others. The picture and sound quality are very good and some of the '70's outfits and hairstyles are somewhat comical in retrospect. I think any country music fan of that particular era will enjoy this production.
