Submit Your ReviewSongs That Made This Country Great recaps Stan Ridgway's career with and without Wall of Voodoo, with a few rarities thrown in to make the package appealing to collectors. The essential tracks are here, from Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio" and "Ring of Fire" to solo singles like "Drive, She Said" and "Goin' Southbound." The compilers went to a lot of work licensing recordings from several labels, including "Don't Box Me In" from the Rumblefish soundtrack and "Cannon Song" from a Kurt Weill tribute album. This is an excellent collection in terms of providing Ridgway's handful of best-known recordings in one place, but a lot of excellent album tracks were omitted, making this an inadequate replacement for the original albums. ~ Greg Adams, All Music Guide
