Customer Reviews:

All the very best of John Conlee.......2003-08-31

My friend tells me she hates country songs where the dog died, the spouse has departed and things are bad. If you feel that way too, you may not want to buy this album. But if you want some of best country songs ever written that run through the range of emotions, this is the album to get. Everyone has probably heard Rose Colored Glasses, which is now a classic and recorded by many other artists. A bit overplayed unfortunately. Better songs of John's are seldom heard any more. The whole range of human tradegy is here: Miss Emily's Picture (lost love); She Can't Say That Anymore (Murder of a cheating spouse); I Don't Remember Loving You (Insanity); and Busted (Broke and out of a job). Conlee does not have the best voice and some of his songs sound a lot alike, but these songs tug at something deep within all of us that makes them very listenable. His voice is unique and never difficult to listen to. Some might call this blue collar music, but whatever you want to call it, it's an album that I could not be without. Mine has been played over and over again. Any serious country music collector MUST have this in their collection.

Worth every penny.......2002-06-11

The title says it all. From "Rose Colored Glasses" to "Old School", and everything in between this collection captures John Conlee at his best. Other great songs include the Harlam Howard penned "Busted" as well as autobiographical songs such as "Common Man." "Lady Lay Down", "Back Side of Thirty", and "Friday Night Blues" are all great songs as well. This is one of those collections that I can listen to without skipping a single track. If you come across it or find someone selling it do not hesitate to pick it up.

The Complete Conlee Anthology.......2002-06-10

John Conlee has had a phenomenal career in the world of classic country music, and this collection of John Conlee standouts is an ultimate testament to that outstanding career. Most of the selections featured here display a theme of lost love and sheer romantic bliss - a Conlee trademark. These traits are successfully captured in the signature "Rose Colored Glasses", the amnesiac ambience of "I Don't Remember Loving You", the lowbrow man's anthem "Common Man", and in the roundabout, pent-up heavy "Friday Night Blues", among others. There's also a fantastic rendition of Ray Charles' "Busted", as well. "Old School" will defiitely take one back to their high school reunion, replete with memories of their first love. For lovers of up-tempo numbers, there's one titled "I'm Only In It For The Love". This is one CD that's worth many a repeated listen in your CD player, that is...IF ONLY THIS TITLE WAS MADE AVAILABLE ON CD, as other John Conlee so-called "greatest hits" collections aren't as complete as "John Conlee 20 Greatest Hits" is. This is one CD that definitely deserves to carry the "Greatest Hits" title, and is a CD that desperately needs to be brought back into print. And so, the question that needs to be raised is: HEY RECORD COMPANIES, ARE YOU LISTENING!?! PLEASE BRING "JOHN CONLEE 20 GREATEST HITS" BACK INTO PRINT, PRONTO!

Conlee to be Continued.......2002-01-30

Please get this album in stock ASAP. This is an unlocatable CD and I have looked everywhere. Surely, you can buy this in bulk... guarantee it will sell. This is the only complete collection of his greatest hits.

Bring it back, please!!.......2001-04-10

What does it take to bring this CD back for the few Conlee fans out there in this world? I've been checking around for this CD in particular for several years. I have the other "Greatest Hits", but this is the only one with 20 songs on it. I grew up going to street dances, spending summer nights dancing to "Friday Night Blues." It's very important that I have this one in my collection. There is no better John Conlee CD out there. HELP!!!
