Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the Country vocalist. RVS III (1990) was a success that most artists could only dream of. The album hit #1 and the hit singles just poured out of it. 'I've Cried My Last Tear for You' was a chart-topper, the 50s-style crooning of 'Statue of a Fool' made it to #2, as did 'I Meant Every Word He Said', while 'Life's Little Ups and Downs' could have been viewed as a disappointment, only reaching #4. Backroads, released in 1991, was another huge success with Shelton at the height of his powers. The album itself stalled at #3 (although it went platinum) but the first three singles from the record all hit the top of the charts. The first was the jolly 'Rocking Years', a duet with Dolly Parton (which also appeared on Parton's Eagle When She Flies album that same year), and which was followed by 'I Am a Simple Man' and 'Keep It Between the Lines'. The title track, reached #2. By any standards, Shelton's career was rocking. T-Bird Americana.
