Customer Reviews:

A Decade Of Hits? Ah...not quite.......2007-05-16

Nothing fries me more than buying what you think is a hits compilation, only to discover when you've torn the packaging off and put it in your CD player that what it REALLY is is a re-recording of a person's major hits done 20 years after the original recordings, when a voice is completely different. Sure, Johnny covers a lot of his own songs here, but his range is gone, and in some places, it barely sounds like the Rodriguez we've come to know and love. I loathe people that have to resort to this kind of trickery to dupe the music-buying public into thinking they're getting the original, genuine article.

JOHNNY RODRIQUES AS I REMEMBER .......2007-01-10

C D WAS AS I EXPECTED. REPRODUCTION OF RODRIQUE'S BEST. THE DVD INCLUDED WAS EXCELLENT.

Johnny Rodriguez.......2006-11-04

I was well pleased with the CD reviewing some old favorites of Johnny's as I haven't heard any of his accomplishments for some time. Good CD, fair price and good memories.

Good music, but wait a second.......2005-08-31

What we have here is a slick repackaging for Johnny Rodriguez's release from the early 1990's titled "Run for the Boarder." None of the songs here are the orginal hit recordings. While some of the songs have never been recorded before, the big named songs here are totally remakes.

Now they are excellent remakes, and the new songs are excellent. But it gets a low rating simply because it is a cheap lie. Tryin to steal the money of country fans who aren't properly educated in the art of picking out good collections.
