Customer Reviews:

Good collection but missing some essentials........2005-09-26

So close, but no cigar. Where are "Hold On," "It Hasn't Happened Yet," "Second To no One" and "Couldn't Do Nothin' Right?" They were all big hits for Ms. Cash. Non-hit songs like "Dance with the Tiger" are here, but not those hits. How bizarre.

However, it is nice to have Cash's sublime version of Joni Mitchell's "River" included. Fans who don't already know this gem will be in heaven after hearing it.

Remastered CD has great sound quality. Definitely the best Rosanne cash "hits" collection yet available! Highly recommended, even though it's not perfect.

Strongest hits collection yet of Roseanne's music.......2005-08-03

For a few years in the eighties, Rosanne was quite successful but, like her stepsister Carlene Carter, she was determined to do things her way and this may have prevented her from becoming an even bigger star. Generally, Rosanne's music could be described as country with a soft rock edge, as you would expect from somebody whose husband and record producer during her most successful years was the great Rodney Crowell.

This compilation includes every track that I regard as essential in a collection of Rosanne Cash's hits is here. Committed fans will note the absence of a few other country hits including Couldn't do nothing right, Take me take me and It hasn't happened yet, but they aren't essential in a collection like this and all can be found elsewhere. Rosanne's first four country albums have been paired in twofers while her fifth, King's record shop (generally regarded as her finest album) is available separately, as are some of her later albums.

Rosanne had eleven number one hits on the American country charts (all included here, of course), the first of them being Seven year ache, which became her signature song, and the last being It's such a small world, a duet with then-husband Rodney Crowell that originally appeared on his highly-acclaimed album, Diamonds and dirt. Rosanne also became the first (and perhaps only) artist to take a Beatles cover to the top of the country charts, which she did with one of their album tracks (I don't want to spoil the party). Another great cover that Rosanne took to number one is Tennessee flat top box, originally recorded by her father in the early sixties. Other highlights of this collection include No memories hanging round (an excellent duet with Bobby Bare), My baby thinks he's a train, Blue moon with heartache, I don't know why you don't want me and The way me make a broken heart - however, there are so many great songs here that it's possible I haven't mentioned your favorite.

If you only want one collection of Rosanne's music, make it this one.

The best hits package available.......2005-07-13

I first became a big fan of Rosanne Cash with her "Rhythm And Romance" album, an album that is still a big favorite of mine. Her "King's Record Shop" is also a big fav. Several years ago Columbia put out a Hits collection for Rosanne, it was good, but was missing one song in particular that I really love, her #4 hit from 1982, "Ain't No Money". This new import collection includes that song along with 20 others, including all of her #1 country hits. I'm surprised that Sony hasn't issued an "Essential" album for Rosanne yet, perhaps this album will give them the boost they need. This set is missing a track or two that should have made the cut, "Hold On" from 1986, but for the most part it's a nice upgrade from the previous "Greatest Hits" collection. It is the best collection of Rosanne's work out there right now however. It also has a 12 page booklet full of photos and info about Rosanne and each track.
The track listing is as follows:
Right or Wrong, No Memories Hangin''Round, Anybody's Darlin', Seven Year Ache, My Baby Thinks He's A Train, Blue Moon With Heartache, Ain't No Money, I Wonder, I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me, Never Be You, The Way We Make A Broken Heart, Tennessee Flat Top Box, Runaway Train, I Don't Want To Spoil The Party, If You Change Your Mind, It's Such A Small World, Dance With The Tiger, What We Really Want, Sleeping In Paris, River, I Count The Tears

So Close to 5 Stars!.......2005-07-13

I've followed Rosanne Cash since "Seven Year Ache" and this collection does a good job of covering her time at Columbia Records. What's missing? "Hold On" from "Rhythm and Romance", more songs from "The Wheel" and her contribution to the Yoko Ono tribute album "Nobody Sees Me Like You Do". This is the best hits compilation out there and if you don't have any of the others, definitely pick this one up.

NOTE TO SONY/BMG: Now that you've done "Essentials" with most of your artists, how about giving Rosanne a double disc treatment? And now that the two of you are one company, how about releasing Rosanne's German Ariola release from the late 70s?
