In den fünfziger Jahren war Roy Acuffs Krone in Gefahr. Er war nicht länger der Star, der er einmal gewesen war; doch er machte nach wie vor gute Aufnahmen, wie diese Zusammenstellung sehr seltener Einspielungen für Capitol, Decca und MGM - aufgenommen zwischen 1953 und 1958 - zeigt. Roy nahm zwar das sich ändernde Gesicht der Country Music an, machte aber immer noch Musik, die sich an seiner ursprünglichen Vision orientierte. Er nahm einige seiner größten Hits neu auf, darunter 'Great Speckled Bird', 'Lonely Mound Of Clay', 'Wreck on The Highway' und 'Precious Jewel'. Zudem nahm er einige überraschend gute neue Songs auf wie 'Goodbye Mister Brown' (mit Kitty Wells) und 'I Closed My Heart's Door', kraftvolle Vorstellungen mit der Qualität seiner früheren Aufnahmen.
By the 1950s, Roy Acuff's crown was slipping. He wasn't the star that he had been, but he was still making great records as this collection of ultra-rare sides cut between 1953 and 1958 for Capitol, Decca and MGM shows. Roy was adapting to the changing face of country music, but still making music that was true to his original vision. He re-made some of his biggest hits, including 'Great Speckled Bird', 'Lonely Mound Of Clay', 'Wreck on The Highway', and 'Precious Jewel'. He also recorded some surprisingly good new songs including 'Goodbye Mister Brown' (with Kitty Wells) and 'I Closed My Heart's Door', which was as powerful a performance as any he ever made.
