Joel Whitburn's Country Annual 1944-1997

Rating:
Summary: The Ultimate Source...
Review: Excellent reference book, listing every country single that charted between Jan. 1944 and Dec. 1997 (all 16,693 of them). Includes highest chart position, date charted, weeks on chart and B-side of charted single. Also shows record label and number, along with peak position on the pop charts if the record was a crossover hit as well. Not much in the way of artist bio info (only a couple of lines on even the biggest stars), but you probably won't miss it. If you've only got one reference book covering country music from the last 50 years, this should be the one. Look up any song, any artist, settle any bet. Great Stuff.

Review: hi. the review that I submitted titled "the ultimate source" actually applies to "Joel Whitburn's Top Country Singles 1944-1997" which is a different but similar sounding title by the same author. Sorry for the screwup.
