Duane Eddy

Somewhere along the way, Motown acquired the rights to Jamie Records, which is the reason why they released a Duane Eddy two-fer as part of their first wave of CD two-fers in the mid-'80s. The label put Have 'Twangy' Guitar -- Will Travel and $1,000,000 Worth of Twang, arguably his two finest albums, on one disc. Motown's initial CD two-fers were criticized in many quarters for shoddy, unattractive packaging and indifferent remastering, but less discriminating consumers will find this acceptable, since it contains the original versions of most of his hits on one disc. This particular disc didn't stay in print for too long and was later replaced with better-sounding, more thorough collections, which are preferable to this adequate collection. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
