Review by Danny Hellman

The Best Of 80s Country: A Time Capsule of Heartache and Honky-Tonk Vibes Let’s talk about The Best Of 80s Country. Released in '87 by Various artists, this album feels like a warm hug from an old friend who still smells faintly of cigarette smoke and last night’s whiskey. It’s folk-meets-country gold, with tracks that hit you right in the gut—or maybe just the tear ducts if you're feeling sentimental. Labels Axis and Music For Pleasure put it out across Australia and the UK, but honestly? This collection transcends borders. It’s universal heartbreak bottled up for mass consumption. Now, I’m not gonna lie—there are some real gems here. But two tracks stuck to me like gum on a hot summer sidewalk: "Letter From Home" and "Stranger In My House." "Letter From Home" is one of those songs where you can almost picture the scene playin’ out as you listen. You know, someone sittin’ at their kitchen table late at night, pen scratchin’ against paper while they try to explain how much they miss someone far away. The lyrics feel so dang personal, like they’re written specifically for YOU. And man, when the pedal steel kicks in halfway through? Forget it—I was done. That moment hits harder than any breakup ever could. Then there’s "Stranger In My House," which might as well be renamed “How To Ruin Your Day With One Song.” There’s something haunting about how smooth and calm the vocals sound while describing such raw betrayal. Like watching someone smile politely while their world falls apart inside. Every word dripped with quiet desperation, and yeah, I may have stared out my window for a solid ten minutes after listening, wondering what even IS love anymore. What makes this album special isn’t just its polished production or catchy hooks—it’s the way these songs stick to your soul. They remind you of all those messy human emotions we spend most of our lives trying (and failing) to tidy up. Whether it’s longing, regret, or plain ol’ heartbreak, The Best Of 80s Country captures it all without pretense. And honestly? If I had to sum this whole thing up in one weird thought—it kinda feels like finding an old mixtape in your car’s glove compartment years later. You don’t remember making it, but every song somehow knows more about you than you do yourself. Weird, huh?
