By 1972, George Jones was already a legend with nearly two decades of classic country recordings to his credit. But when he teamed with producer Billy Sherrill in 1972, he may have even outdone himself. On the countrypolitan hit "The Door," Sherrill has the strings there from note one, softly providing the singer emotional support, and as Jones anguishes through a litany of all he's ever lost, it sure sounds like he needs it. In fact, on each of these 22 classics of honky-tonk heartache, Jones chokes down tears and swallows notes--his voice twisting, soaring, crying--as he weaves drunkenly down the thin line between despair and one more last chance. Country music has never sounded this devastated. Maybe it never will again. --David Cantwell

10 Years of Hits - Newly Recorded .......2006-03-19
Great country.......2005-09-24
New Recordings.......2005-08-03
Jump ahead to 1987, Vern Gosdin resurfaces on Epic Records, and has a whole new string of hits, and garners loads of attention from critics and award shows. Fans take notice again, only they just can't seem to acquire his earlier hits such as "I Can Tell By The Way You Dance." Well Vern and Epic try their best and do what they can. So Vern heads back to the studio and re-records his greatest hits, doing his best to make them sound like they did on the original recordings. Oh how welcome it was....back in 1989.
Now jump ahead to 2005, all of those Vern Gosdin recordings from the 1980's are now available in their original, and far superior form. This collection, while terrific in 1989, is now completely rendered obsolete.
As with many remakes, they don't hold up to the originals. Vern sounds like he's just plain tired of singing "I Can Tell By the Way You Dance."
The only reason to have this cd, and I must say it's a good reason is for "This Ain't My First Rodeo," which is an original song, and deserved to be a hit.

THE REAL "SUMMER OF LOVE" .......2005-03-03
Michael Card does not have a particularly great voice, but it adequately conveys the obviously heartfelt convictions of his nicely crafted Gospel songs. What makes Card special is his lyrics; he is Christian Rock's premier wordsmith, able to create songs around deep theological concepts. He overreaches at times ("...the universe fell from His Fingertips."; "...He sent His only Son and so became a Holy Embryo."), but that's the cost of creating fresh, unique expressions, and attempting to translate the Mystery into song. There may be an occasional misstep, but there's no doggerel verse here - just first class Christian poetry sung with sincerity, and sometimes backed by surprisingly powerful "electric" passion ('Known By The Scars', 'Scandalon', 'So Many Books', and my favorite track, 'Know You In The Now.') I'm rarely impressed by the lyrics of most songwriters, but consider these lines :
HE CANNOT LOVE MORE, AND WILL NOT LOVE LESS
WE IN OUR WEAKNESS BELIEVED WE WERE STRONG / HE BECAME HELPLESS TO SHOW WE WERE WRONG...
FOR THE POWER OF PARADOX OPENS YOUR EYES / AND BLINDS THOSE WHO SAY THEY CAN SEE
THAT IS THE MYSTERY, MORE THAN YOU CAN SEE / GIVE UP YOUR PONDERING AND FALL DOWN ON YOUR KNEES
NO FICTION AS FANTASTIC AND WILD / A MOTHER MADE BY HER OWN CHILD
TO HEAR WITH MY HEART, TO SEE WITH MY SOUL / TO BE GUIDED BY A HAND I CANNOT HOLD
TO TRUST IN A WAY THAT I CANNOT SEE / THAT'S WHAT FAITH MUST BE
THERE IS A JOY IN THE JOURNEY, THERE'S A LIGHT WE CAN LOVE ON THE WAY
THERE IS A WONDER AND WILDNESS TO LIFE, AND FREEDOM FOR THOSE WHO OBEY
TO BE SO COMPLETELY GUILTY, GIVEN OVER TO DESPAIR
TO LOOK INTO YOUR JUDGE'S FACE AND SEE A SAVIOR THERE
Now THAT'S what I call "writing!" Most of these tracks are enthusiastic and catchy. If they played this stuff on Christian radio I'd tune in once in awhile.
Michael Card's, 'JOY IN THE JOURNEY' puts joy in my journey, and it calls to mind my personal "Summer Of Love." And when this world douses my spirit, 'JOY IN THE JOURNEY' can fan my embers into a Divine Flame again. Brothers and Sisters, I think you'll like it too.
Powerful Theological Truths in Music Form.......2004-11-22
Today, however, it seems Christian music has lost its theological focus. Its now more bent on experience or a "personal relationship with Jesus." Songs taken from the Scriptures and the truth therein is found mainly in some praise & worship artists and Michael Card. Card is a theologian who happens to play guitar. His love and passion for the Scriptures flows in his songs. From El Shaddai to The Final Word, Card takes deep theological truths and put them to music.
There is a silent revolution taking place in Christian music. The likes of Keith Green, Steve Camp, John Fisher, and Michael Card is not lost. God is reviving musicians who desire to glorify God alone! And I'm happy to endorse this album as an example of that revolution.
Simply the Best!.......2002-10-11

Customer Reviews:
Great Top-40 radio fare 1966-69 + lots of true stereo.......2005-05-14
Varese's fourth volume in this series focuses on the years 1966-1969, and gives a good sense of the variety that was programmed on Top-40 radio, including pop, rock, folk, soul and bubblegum. These work together on a variety of levels. There are soul songs ("Soulful Strut" "The Horse" - both, ironically, backing tracks to vocals releases that weren't nearly as successful) that segues with pop that has blue-eyed soul and jazz underpinnings ("Groovin'" "You've Made Me So Very Happy"), there are party-time anthems in both straight-ahead rock ("Mony Mony") and soul ("Expressway to Your Heart"), and there are all manner of pop tunes from Nancy Sinatra's lazy "Sugar Town" to the ear candy or The Archies' "Sugar Sugar." The freedom to create music for radio without strict genre boundaries lent itself to the era's ethos.
With the dawning of the '70s, independent record labels found themselves marginalized in a record business increasingly dominated by conglomerates. This volume amply demonstrates the savvy music business "ears" that created hits for long-gone labels like Roulette, USA, Bamboo, Soul City, Fraternity, Phil-L.A., Metromedia, Imperial, Sceptor, Sundi, Double Shot, White Whale, Abnak, Crimson, Dial, Date, Calendar, and Colossus.
Without tracks from the Beatles, Stones or the psychedelic and hard-rock camps (e.g., Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield, Electric Prunes, Steppenwolf, Donovan, Vanilla Fudge), this isn't a complete exposition of the late '60s pop musical stew, but it is a generous helping of some of the era's most memorable radio hits, nearly all presented in true stereo. Only cuts 9, 14, 20, 24 are delivered in mono. Informative liner notes and detailed discographical and chart info make this a fine walk down memory lane for those who lived the era and a good introduction to radio's late '60s riches for those who didn't.

Total Time: 75:00 ~ Varese Records 66637 ~ (3/01/2005)
+ 1/2 stars...More Bubblegum Than Psychedelia.......2005-03-01
This series has not, however, been without its flaws. Just like the MID 60's release shortchanged the British Invasion (the predominant musical force of the period), this LATE 60's volume overlooks the psychedelic movement. I realize the difficulty in finiding top 10 hits that would fit this category, but the Jeffereson Airplane immediately spring to mind.
However, with that minor complaint aside, this is a solid collection of terrific songs with a heavy emphasis on soul and R&B hits like "Backfield in Motion," "Gimme Little Sign," "Expressway to Your Heart" and the instrumental classics "The Horse" and "Soulful Strut." The only thing that kept me from giving this a five-star rating was the inclusion of Boby Sherman's schlock pop hit "Little Woman." While this series has been far from definitive, it is a very satisfying collection. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Buy it, Fantastic.......2004-12-28
So many great songs on here, most of which have been top ten singles.
Bad Points:
It's hard to fault an album of such quality pop songs.
General Comments:
Ronan Keating, 10 Years Of Hits - Great new album from Ronan Keating, hard to believe he's been in music for 10 years now. So many hit records to his name, both solo and with Boyzone. He's included three songs from that early part of his career which have been re-recorded especially for this album, one of them, Father & Son, has been recorded as a duet with Cat Stevens. All his single hits are here, together with his latest single, I Hope You Dance. There's also a brand new song called Somebody Else. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes classy pop.
