Wonderful Memories5
I first met Dick while he was a reuglar entertainer at the Thorndike Hotel, in Rockland, ME in 1963. I had been a fan ever since I first saw him on WMTV in the late 50's, before the Godfrey Show. I own eight of his LP's and was disappointed with the quality when I tried to tape them. I couldn't resist the box set, and I'm happy I didn't!!! I listened to the full set the night I got them; I laughed and I got misty. His covers of Tex Ritter's songs are great. "Coast of Maine" and "You Never Miss The Water" were the songs that he opened and closed his shows with. Goosebumps! His cover of Roger Miller's "King of the Road" is better that the original, and not only because Dick could pronounce Bangor correctly! Dick truly was as good, if not better, than any of the big stars out there today. Just think what he could have done with a Mel Tellis or Willie Nelson original. Ironiclly, I ordered the set on his birthday, St. Patrick's Day, and I didn't realize it until I read the discography!

the greatest I have. An all day listen. give me more.5
I have been a Dick Curless fan for many years. In my opimion he is the best entertainer ever. I also enjoy the book. I'm so glad this is available. It is a certain,"must" for a Dick Curless fan.I garantee you will be after you hear this.

Maine's True Country Singer..5
Tombstone Every Mile, was a turning point for the singer from Maine ,a song that describes a bermuda triangle, consisting of a sheet of ice on a stretch of road, winding through the heart of Maine, where a graveyard of eighteen wheelers lie in the backwoods, a truckers nightmare...A TOMBSTONE EVERY MILE is also the title of this 7 disc box set that covers the entire early career of Dick Curless including the best, TOWER RECORDINGS. The second box set ,HARD,HARD,TRAVELING MAN,covers the second half of Curless' career including all the Capitol recordings, and also a single disc that covers home recordings, featuring the "THE BARON" with voice and guitar only. Many consider Dick Curless a part of the California country sound (Curless toured with Buck Owens) - Curless was a true stylist of his own.-these Bear Family box sets are on the high dollar side, but well worth it if you listen to real - true country music. {who's Gordon Terry?}
