A Whole New World on One Disc

One thing I loved about CDs was the themed compilations. Hits of the Sixties, Hits of the Seventies, Hits of the Eighties, or something like Gods of Guitar. You would buy one for the two or three songs you already knew. But then you would find other artists on it you had never heard before. Before long you were out buying their albums too. One disc could open up a whole new world of music you might never have found otherwise.

From The Music Never Left Us, coming soon.
