Collectables' reissue of
George Hamilton IV's
Abilene
contains the original album, plus three bonus tracks which include the hits
"Why Don't They Understand"
and "A Rose and a Baby Ruth." The hits augment an album that, as its subtitle suggest, leans more toward folk songs. Of course, these songs aren't given folk arrangements -- they are folk songs and standards, like "The Roving Gambler" and "You Are My Sunshine," given appealingly pop arrangements. There are a few dull spots on the record, but on the whole it's quite entertaining, and it's made even better with the bonus tracks. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
