  • Audio Quality Impressive, Minor Fuzziness

    The audio quality is fantastic, but I noticed some fuzziness on the second side towards the close, even after giving it a good clean. Has anyone else experienced this?

  • Whitley's Shining Country Star

    4 out of 5 stars
    vulueyidu74August 8, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This is the record that solidified Whitley's status as country music's next shining star. Keith's sound has never been more refined, with his voice truly shining and reaching new depths that resonate with the heart.

  • VMP Vinyl Delight

    5 out of 5 stars
    nomukaroviFebruary 18, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm absolutely thrilled with this stunning-sounding vinyl record. VMP has outdone themselves once again. I'm not at all complaining, but there's a tiny little glitch in the title track, "Don't Close Your Eyes," right at the word "find" in the final line, "You'll find more love than you've ever known." I've noticed the same glitch on "The Essential Keith Whitley" CD (1996) and "Greatest Hits" CD (1990). I don't have the 1988 vinyl release to compare. If anyone out there has the 1988 vinyl, I'd love to know if that glitch is present. I'm guessing this 2023 VMP version was sourced from a digital copy, but I'm wondering if the 1988 releases were analogue or digital. It's just a curiosity, nothing more. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this album to anyone!

  • Keith's Music Repress Delight

    CtpenMeajJanuary 2, 2025United States🇺🇸

    From the moment VMP Country launched, I'd been wishing they'd release this one. Keith's music deserves a repress, and I'm thrilled with how this sounds. Great job, VMP! Now, how about L.A. to Miami next? :-)

    Fantastic work, over the moon to finally have the entire album on vinyl. It sounds absolutely incredible.

About Keith Whitley

Keith Whitley, born Jackie Keith Whitley, was a powerhouse in the world of country and bluegrass music, known for his rich vocals and deep connection to traditional country sounds. Despite a tragically short career, Whitley left an indelible mark on the genre, releasing just two albums but charting an impressive 19 singles on the Billboard country charts, including several posthumous hits. His music is a testament to his ability to blend classic country with a modern touch, making him a key figure in the New Traditionalist movement of the 1980s. Before his solo career took off, Whitley honed his skills backing bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley with The Clinch Mountain Boys. His legacy endures through his timeless songs like "Take Me Back" and "Rock Bottom," which continue to captivate fans and inspire new generations of country music enthusiasts. Whitley's life was cut short at the age of 34 due to complications from alcoholism, but his music lives on, a poignant reminder of his immense talent and the impact he had on the country music scene.
