Editorial Review:
Description: Ray Stevens was born Harold Ray Ragsdale in Clarkdale, Georgia in January 1939. Clarkdale was a small cotton mill town 20 miles north of Atlanta. For more than 40 years, Ray Stevens has been entertaining us. From his novelty songs like "The Streak", to his tender ballads he has touched us. As with all outstanding writers, Stevens has away of creating characters and situations that highlight the humor in everyday life as well as larger issues and lifestyle trends.

Ray stevens is one of the funniest guys when it comes to musical comedy. This CD collection is a good collection of his work. It would be a great collection but for the fact not all of his songs are on it.

I purchased this cd because of the number of great Ray Stevens Songs that I had listened to growing up. When I got the discs, I opened it up only to find that these were not the original recordings. They were more recent recordings, some without the same lyrics. The most disappointing were two of my all time favorites; "The Haircut Song" and "Ballad of the Blue Cyclone." If you are a Ray Stevens fan, don't bother with the box set. I recommend buying the original albums for original, classic Ray Stevens.

This was just to cool. All the old stuff reminds you what a genius of funny he is. If you are a fan buy it and enjoy!

Warning, warning, Danger, danger!!! If you are looking for the ORIGINAL hit versions of his songs like, "Ahab the Arab", "The Streak", "Gitarzan" then you should stay away from this compilation. So far the BEST Ray Stevens set is Rhino's "The Very Best of Ray Stevens".
All of those selections are the real deal.
Here's hoping that one day there will be a true box set compilation of Ray's career, especially his early Mercury recordings. My top wish: a song from 1964: "The Old English Surfer".

I had been looking for a lot of his music and hadn't found one that had very many of my faviorites on it, until now! You either like Ray Stevens or you don't and I happen to be one who thoroughly enjoys his comedy! There are a few songs missing from his collection, but over all, it's a pretty great collection!
