The musical landscape of the 1960s wasn’t all about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Radio and record racks made plenty of room for Andy Williams, Bobby Vinton, Dionne Warwick, Petula Clark, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Al Hirt, Ed Ames, Vikki Carr, The Lettermen, Shriley Bassey, and many other artists that weren’t quite ready to rock. They’re all here in this new Time-Life CD collection, Pop Memories of the ’60s. No Beatles, Stones, Cream, Hendrix, Blue Cheer, Jefferson Airplane or Led Zeppelin. Just easy listening goodness. Forget the Xanax. Just rip these discs to your iPod, slap on the earbuds and experience instant bliss.

Your Savvy Shopper is a HUGE fan of classic country music. This week I’m excited to introduce The Golden Age of Country 10-CD Collection from Time-Life to a jaded world desperately in need of a dose of real, authentic, classic country music from the 1950s and 60s. Country artists tended to re-record most of their repertoire every time they changed record labels, but Time-Life keeps it real by always using the original classic recordings. Hank Williams, George Jones, Buck Owens, Ray Price, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Elvis, Roger Miller, and many, many more. No matter what kind of contemporary music you like best, some of its roots are here in classic country. I’ve spent over thirty years collecting these songs on LP, cassette, CD and MP3. With The Golden Age of Country, you can get them all in one collection. The well-produced infomercial is hosted by country legend Mickey Gilley and TV personality Lorianne Chase from Crook and Chase.
