AMG Review of Essential Eddy Arnold

Thom Owens
All Music Guide

The Essential Eddy Arnold contains the majority of Eddy Arnold's biggest hits, including "Make the World Go Away" and "Cattle Call." It's the only single-disc retrospective that offers a reasonably thorough overview of his hit singles, making it an ideal introduction and -- considering that the two-disc box set Last of the Love Song Singers contained an entire disc of newly recorded material -- the only currently available retrospective that could be considered definitive.
