Ballads Of Ronnie Hawkins

Import-only collection containing the very best of Ronnie's exquisite ballads for the Roulette, Hawk, Cotillion, Monument and Quality labels. This career-spanning compilation includes the John Lennon-endorsed 'Down in the Alley' and Canadian best-sellers like 'Bluebirds Over the Mountain' and '(Stuck In) Lodi'. This set is distinguished by Hawkins's warm, fluid and sensual singing on wonderful songs by America's greatest songwriters including Hank Williams, Kris Kristofferson, Jesse Winchester, Tim Hardin and Bob Dylan. - It's not what Hawkins is famous for but you'll be moved by his flair for carrying slower melodies of unparalleled beauty and his graceful mastery of melancholic and highly evocative songs.
