The Best Of Floyd Cramer was the first compilation album from the respected Nashville pianist who enjoyed singles chart success in the early sixties on both sides of the Atlantic.

“This is great music for any generation. Who doesn't love piano music? Cramer’s style is unique and I have always liked it so much. Put on this album, sit back and relax. I know you will enjoy it.”

“I have always loved Floyd Cramer. Last Date is my very favourite of all his hits, but all the songs on this album are great."

“Last Date resonates with the sounds of yesteryear, but all of the songs are special. I get such joy from listening to this album, so peaceful and heart warming.”

“I have enjoyed his music for many years. The first hit I can remember is Last Date. When you are feeling down, you can listen to the strains of beautiful music from his piano and right away you have to feel better.”

“Excellent and varied selections of Floyd Cramer's music that is relaxing and soothing to listen to. One of the finest pianists of the time. You will enjoy his music.”

“How can you go wrong with Floyd Cramer? His style and grace on the keys is legendary, and his talent is amazing. This is a beautiful LP for any collection.”

“The disc captures Cramer's signature stride piano style in all of its glory on a variety of country, pop and R & B numbers. It contains a good portion of his very best recordings, making it a fine introduction to one of the most influential pianists in country and pop history.” “The RCA studios at the start of the 60s became a fertile ground for the 'crossover' sounds of country/pop, and Cramer was a central figure. He came up with the wistful Last Date and his catchy composition On The Rebound again scored heavily. A great retrospective for those who remember the sounds of the early 1960s.”
