A Hundred Miles or More carries the subtitle A Collection, and what a curious collection it is--cuts from soundtracks, side projects, and tribute albums, plus guest duets on other artists' albums and five previously unreleased tracks. In other words, this is a collection of Alison Krauss performances that have never appeared on an Alison Krauss album, though it holds together better than such a grab-bag approach might suggest. Highlights such as her duet with Brad Paisley on "Whiskey Lullaby" and her a cappella rendition of "Down to the River to Pray" from O Brother, Where Art Thou? will be familiar to most Krauss fans, though it's doubtful that many share her infatuation with retro rocker John Waite (with whom she revives his "Missing You" and duets on a cover of Don Williams's "Lay Down Beside Me."). Other projects represented range from Disney to the Chieftains to the Louvin Brothers (she duets with James Taylor on their "How's the World Treating You." There's minimal contribution from her Union Station band--making this a solo release by default--and little information to indicate whether the previously unreleased tracks were outtakes from earlier releases or recently recorded for this one. --Don McLeese

Known for her collaborations, Krauss also includes several duets in the collection such as the 2003 hit with Brad Paisley, "Whiskey Lullaby," and her duet with James Taylor for the tribute album "Livin', Lovin', Losin': Songs of the Louvin Brothers," "How's the World Treating You." The collection debuts five new songs: "You're Just a Country Boy," "Jacob's Dream," "Simple Love," "Lay Down Beside Me," and "Away Down the River," all of which feature Krauss as a producer.

Relaxing Music.......2007-07-18

This cd is wonderful. It is great to listen to in the car when you need something soft and relaxing. Alison Krauss has the voice of an angel. I highly recommend this cd.

Not a traditional bluegrsss album, but worth listening to several times before judging.......2007-07-17

Many remakes dot this album. Some very surprising collabrations. AK could have done very standard remakes, but instead reinvented many songs. I prefer Simple Love, which is not a remake, Sawing on Strings, a very traditional bluegrass song. These are two songs she is singing on her current tour with Union Station. She does not sing any of the duet songs on this album on her current tour.

Alison Krauss CD.......2007-07-15

Beautiful voice and great songs, but somewhat melancholy. You have to be in the right mood to listen to it.

Buy Two.......2007-07-14

If you like Alison Krauss, you had better buy two of these. It's fabulous.
You'll wear it out.

Can Allison get any better?.......2007-07-11

Jimmy Buffett may have made his millions, but that doesn't mean that he has eased up on his workload. After releasing 33 albums, mounting grueling annual tours, and fashioning an entire industry and lifestyle out of his signature song "Margaritaville," Buffett trots out this two-CD collection. Yet, Meet Me in Magaritaville, which spans 30 years, isn't merely a retread of his long, storied career. Buffett has written two new songs for the package and re-recorded six alternative versions of fan favorites (including a moving version of "The Captain and the Kid," which he included for his ailing father, who died shortly after the album's release). He's also added two new cover songs--a spicy bossa nova version of Fred Neil's "Everybody's Talking" and the Beach Boys' "Sail on Sailor"--as well four live tracks, which shows the singer at his best, conjuring up his own Yuppie Atlantis, an idyllic place where no one has to wear shoes, the sun is always shining, the bar never closes, and Junior Mints are always available at every cinema. A must-have collection for every Parrothead (or aspiring Parrothead), if only for Buffett's track-by-track descriptions. --Jaan Uhelszki

If you are even mildly enamored with Jimmie Buffet and his music, this is a must have. All of his hits and some live performances are on this 2 CD set.

typical island music.......2007-06-27

After visiting south Florida and the Keys on several occasions. I heard some of his music whilst there. Bought the cd hoping that it would take me back there whilst being in rainy cold england. It does! Job done. It takes you to sandy beaches, blue skys and laid back bars. Some tracks are a bit cheesy but typical of the sort of music you hear down there.Turn your heating up, grab a beer, close your eyes, put this album on and your almost there.Almost!!

Bought this cd for my brother-in-law for Christmas, and he says it is wonderful. All the songs from over the years, he just loves it.

It's Jimmy Buffett, what else could you ask for?.......2007-03-19

This album is a collection of some of the best stuff Jimmy Buffett has recorded. It's a blend of old and new. Many of the songs are like old friends that you always like to spend time with and although some of the songs are newer, they fit right in with your circle of friends.
I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys slipping away to Margaritaville for a little while. It's music that crosses the generation gap. I'm in my 40's, my parents are in their mid - 60's and my daughter is a teenager, and we all enjoy Jimmy Buffett. If you purchase this album, you won't be disappointed.

A poll-winning fiddler since her teens, Alison Krauss was an established bluegrass star when her label persuaded her to step out from her usual projects with Union Station, her crack band, and sanction this compilation of various band and solo guest performances. The ploy worked, yielding a wonderful, odds-beating crossover hit with Krauss's cover of "Baby, Now That I've Found You," a carousing late-'60s pop chant transformed into a delicate, vulnerable declaration of love. Focusing on Krauss's lovely, yearning soprano, the track elevated the musician above her resolutely democratic role in her quintet, catapulting Krauss to the biggest bluegrass success story in over 30 years. Krauss has stayed true to her bluegrass roots, as well as to Union Station, but this cross-section of contemporary bluegrass songs, joyous gospel, and canny rock covers testifies to the young artist's luminous appeal. --Sam Sutherland

Alison Krauss.......2007-05-12

This is a terrific album by Alison Krauss. A nice selection of songs that display her full range of vocal abilities and styles. If you are a new fan and wondering which album to buy, this is the one. If you are going on a trip and wondering which Alison Krauss album to take along, this is the one. This is the album that everyone loves, even those who don't love bluegrass or country. You won't be sorry you made this purchase.

WONDERFUL!!!.......2007-01-17

This collection is "wonderful". Also, try to see the live show, "Always....Patsy Cline" when it comes to your area. The show is much more than just singing as a "fan" tells the story of her supposed "involvment" with Patsy. Both this CD and the show are "the greatest!"

This is a great collection!.......2006-11-10

I looked for awhile to find a colllection that included almost all the songs I remembered from my younger days. This CD pretty well does that. I have heard a lot of imitators over the years, but no one has come very close to her great style and sound.

Beautiful Collection.......2006-08-30

This is a terrific collection with a wide range of songs from one of the most spectacular voices the music industry has ever heard. Patsy Cline's gorgeous voice and the emotion she put into her songs makes them heartbreaking to listen to, or if an upbeat song, especially fun to listen to. She just can't be topped. I only wish there were a Patsy Cline Christmas album available. I highly recommend this CD to any Patsy Cline or country music fan. Great selection of hit songs!

What a voice........2006-07-30

I just love listening to this old style of music. Patsy Cline has such a pure tone to her voice. I have to remind myself that even though some of these subjects are a little degrading to women it was a different era and it's the lady's voice that I love. I experienced some volume fading and getting louder in few of the songs. But, that's my only complaint.

This double CD collects not only Brother Ray's best-known '50s and '60s singles, but some choice semi-obscurities (the 1953 jump blues "Mess Around," his 1959 cover of Louis Jordan's "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin'") that earn their places next to "What'd I Say" and "I Can't Stop Loving You." The man's originality and infectious feeling bleed through on each of these 36 tracks, whether he's transforming "One Mint Julep" or "America the Beautiful" or collaborating (separately) with Willie Nelson and Chaka Khan. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

The best compilation on the market........2007-01-27

Other than Genius & Soul: The 50th Anniversary Collection 5-disc boxed set, "Ultimate Hits Collection" is easily the best Ray Charles compilation on the market. Its 36 tracks cover the years 1953-1989. It may be pricey, but you get a 50-page booklet, two individual jewel cases and an attractive slipcase. This set covers the ABC years as well, so Rhino probably had to shell out some big bucks to license those tracks. I'm glad they included "Mess Around", one of Ray's earliest hits, but I would've like to have seen 1993's "A Song For You" here as well.

Sherry.......2007-01-18

"Great CD. Would highly recommend. It's a great collection of all the hits. Other CD have a variation of songs, but if you want one with all hits, this is the one for you.

Soul .......2007-01-10

This collection contains Ray Charles' greatest hits. Among the favorites are 'What'd I Say' , 'Georgia on my mind' 'Ruby' 'Hallelujah I just love her so'. For me what is important is those songs which I have heard over and over again, and which the re-hearing of brings pleasure in. It is not important to me that all the songs have that quality. In fact even with the best people, like Ray Charles it is only a small portion of the total work which plays again and again in the mind.
Ray Charles had incredible soul and feeling. And it is that feeling which makes his music so moving and enjoyable.

Money Well Spent.......2006-09-16

I chose this collection for its wide range of Ray's career hits. Some of which I had never heard before, like "Mess Around." This was before the film was released of course. All time favorites of mine include, "What'd I Say" "One Mint Julep" "Night Time Is The Right Time" and "Hit The Road Jack." A true American Icon, Ray's genius continues through his recordings, for they are timeless. Not much else missing on this one.

Ray Charles Ultimate Collection.......2006-08-15

Very good album......can't say enough about it. Ray had such style in his music....I can listen to it over and over.

As a superstar who's revered by both the young country audience and traditionalists, Alan Jackson is at his finest when he's steers clear of trifles like "Chattahoochie" and takes those younger fans to school. Here he does just that by paying respects to Hank ("Midnight in Montgomery"), swearing allegiance to George Jones ("Don't Rock the Jukebox"), and calling out all those newcomers who've decided it's time to get twangy now that country's hot ("Gone Country"). All of it pales next to "Here in the Real World," however, as perfect a honky-tonk weeper as mainstream Nashville has produced in 30 years. --David Cantwell

Anyone who is still clueless about what a great singer Ronnie Dunn is need only grab this second greatest-hits package from Brooks & Dunn, a 17-song compilation that skims the commercial high points from the duo's 1998-2004 period. Dunn, the quintessential balladeer, soars on honky-tonk laments and reminiscences like "Red Dirt Road" and "How Long Gone," and on full-throated romantic plaints like "That's What She Gets for Loving Me" and "It's Getting Better All the Time." His sidekick, the underrated guitarist, utility singer, and all-around dynamo Kix Brooks, also gets his moment to shine on a marvelous '60s-style, 18-wheeler ditty called "Independent Trucker," one of three new cuts included here. --Bob Allen

It's amazing to think they have more than enough for another greatest hits compilation! Full of originals that will always be greatest hits.

something missing .......2007-02-16

Ok, you see two stars up there and you start thinking to yourself "what

could possibly be wrong with this album" Well, there is something wrong

with this album. If you do not believe me then look it up for yourself.

This does have great songs on here and all of their hits to mention that.

But I just noticed something, and I have had this album for a year or

two. There is three songs that is not on here that was hits on the radio.

They might not have been big hits, but they did get air play. (missing

you) from their "tight rope" album (you'll always be loved by me) from

their "tight rope" album and (I am that man) from the "boarderline" album.

Brooks And Dunn - always Great!.......2007-01-09

I love this cd and all the songs on it! There is a great variety of their style music for all to enjoy. I would be hardpressed to find a favorite! I have other cd's of theirs and they are all good - including the Christmas cd. If you are a fan of theirs you will really enjoy this cd!

impressive/holds its own.......2006-11-04

While this collection doesn't quite hold up to the duo's first greatest hits compilation, it is still good. Hits like "How Long Gone," "The Long Goodbye," and "South of Santa Fe" are good choices for this album, which pretty much holds its own. If you are a fan of Brooks & Dunn, odds are you will like this album. The duo is still good after all these years, and I hope whey will continue for many more.

Great collection and service........2005-09-06

Best possible selection available.......2007-06-21

Like many others I was a huge Don Willimas fan between the mid 70's
and mid 80's. His incredible deep baritone voice + the wonderfully
arranged melodies scored hit after hit. During those days I collected
each and every LP launched on the market because, besides the hits,
all other songs were beautiful as well. Like so many other great C&W
artists of the 70's and 80's he stopped having success around '89 when
producers decided to change country music into pop music and struggle
for the Hot 100. That was the end of 3 full decades of authentic C&W
music. A real pity!

My opinion.......2007-06-11

I just like the country sound of Don Williams. His mellow deep toned voice sounds very much like my brother. In fact my brother named his daughter after Don's song Amanda, which I think he performs to perfection.
My favourite though, has got to be 'You're My Best Friend". In this Don uses the soft gentleness of his voice to tell of his friendship with his wife.
There are many of his great songs also, I'm Just A Country Boy - Tulsa Time - Good Ole Boys Like Me and Listen To The Radio mixed with some that I hadn't heard before. Don sings sad and heartbreaking songs without being morbid.
All in all, it is a good mix of great country songs from one of the best in the business. Hard to beleive he's just turned 68.

Fills the Soul.......2007-06-10

This collection has all the best of Don Williams. It is like meeting an old friend again as soon as the music starts and his full, baritone voice comes thru, so rich and heartwarming. There are no singers today coming close to matching his voice. The title of "Gentle Giant" is well earned.

Class Act.......2007-06-02

This is an album of classic hits from Don. I have listened to it many times already. If you are thinking of buying a good "golden oldie", think about this album and go for it!!

Waltzing Music to dance to........2007-04-20

Famous for his great love songs, soft smooth voice, this CD is pure Don Williams.

The Killer's Best.......2007-06-08

Part rock, part country and all good. This is the best of Lewis' career. He may go on but this is when he was in his "sleazy" prime. Love it.

Great collection.......2007-01-14

If you are a fan of the Killer, you will surely enjoy this collection.

Worthy Of "The Killer's" Achievement.......2006-11-10

Good selection of tunes spanning Jerry Lee's entire career until very recently. Remastering done well.

Does Jerry's career the justice it deserves.......2006-05-13

Jerry Lee Lewis compilations have often been lackluster affairs. The bulk of them focus on his years at Sun, while others are cheap and messy overviews of his country material. Seldom do these compilations justice to the performer Jerry Lee Lewis really was. In essence Jerry was a Southern man, a true country star. His songs are honest and raw tales about the ups and downs on the wild side, they don't call him the Killer for nothing.

Jerry started his career with some immensely successful rockabilly sides. He was the only true competitor to one Elvis Presley. Lewis could have gone in to history as the King of Rock & Roll if it weren't for his highly controversial marriage to 13 year old kin. Because R&R was marketed to kids radio stations refused to play his music once the scandal got out. This chain of events turned out to be a curse and a blessing at the same time. Although it slowed down his career it did push Jerry into country recordings. As it turned out this is were his true strength lied.

This taken into account the decision to include only a hand full of his Sun material is completely justified. It highlights only his biggest hits for the label before moving on to his Mercury of the sixties and seventies. The first of these selections "What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out Of Me)" immediately illustrates this is a much more edgy and mature Lewis. Gone are the dance crazes of "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On" and gone is the teen romance of "High School Confidential", only to be replaced by tales of a man struggling to get through his life. These are songs of a man who realizes life isn't as clear cut as it seems in High School. Titles as "She Still Comes Around (To Love What's Left Of Me)" and "One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)" speak for itself on that matter.

One could argue that a single disc could never cover the essential Jerry Lee Lewis. Too much highlights of his career are missing. Yet for a single disc, with an insightful 16 page booklet, and Rhino's "All Killer No Filler" now out of print, this is the only compilation around that gives you an introduction to the man that does him justice. It's a Killer!

A genuine 'Best Of' ... almost.......2006-05-03

The Music? Five stars without a doubt...marvellous, fantastic, prime-Killer cuts, the absolute top man....

But...Universal (zero stars, hence the average rating) have been at it again.... following on from the consistent (and unwelcome) party trick played by UK Spectrum in featuring 'wrong tracks' on their JLL collections, most recently in respect of the '1963-77' Mercury set "Many Sides Of JLL", which includes a 1989 (movie-soundtrack) recording of 'Crazy Arms', their US colleagues have shown that they are equally adept at screwing things up...

Hard on the heels of "Many Sides" comes, on Universal's US imprint Hip-O Records, a fine looking collection called "The Defintive Jerry Lee Lewis", featuring, as a sticky label proclaims, "His 24 Greatest Hits 1957-81", taking us through from 'Whole Lotta Shakin' (plus five other Sun tracks) and concluding with a couple of Elektra masters, sandwiching sixteen of Jerry Lee's biggest Mercury hits.

A good looking, 16 page booklet, fronted, mercifully, by a highly suitable circa 1970 photo, with extensive, well-written (if predictable, in terms of content), liner notes. So far so good, although strange that the chronological order of the recordings is compromised by 'inverting' "What's Made Milwaukee Famous" and "Another Place Another Time" - be that as it may, a minor blemish on what appears to be, indeed, a 'Definitive' collection; the sort of thing you'd happily pass on to a friend as an 'introduction' to JLL, to convey something of the scope and depth of his career to those who haven't got beyond 1958...

And then, just when you thought they'd cracked it..

You get to 1973 and, sandwiched between "Sometimes A Memory Ain't Enough" and "He Can't Fill My Shoes", is a 'boisterous' "Drinkin' Wine Spo-dee o'dee" (okay, again messing slightly with the chronology, but perhaps forgivable), originally released, as the booklet tells us, on
Mercury single 73374 and a #20 country, #41 pop hit. Well, sort of. What you actually get is a 1963 recording originally outed on the 1966 album 'Memphis Beat'.

Fantastic music; Jerry Lee in his prime, marred only by the serial-spoilers at Universal. One is always left with the impression that the attitude is 'just get it out; make a buck; why should we care?'

Classic Everly - A Must for all their Fans.......2007-02-18

Treat yourself to the sweet harmonies of the Everly Brothers, with a CD that has been remastered to underscore their pure sound. Played this for my musician son in law who was not familiar with their music and he is so impressed. All the hits are here, sounding better than ever. An outstanding addition to your collection --

The BEST Everly Brothers album you will ever need, .......2007-01-10

Long ago in californialand, i heard the last everly brothers "hit", on the wings of a nightingale, 1 time and i knew I HAD to have it. Took me about 20 years to find it, in this album. If you really like good music, with tight harmonies, good guitar work, words you can understand, a little bit of country and early rock to the still bitchin, fresh,updated sound of nightingale, then STOP RIGHT HERE and get this album. Enough said!

Everly Brothers, best of.......2007-01-09

The Millennium collection seems to have the songs I always want from a group or artist. The quality of the sound is there everytime. As the local music stores disappear it is good to be able to trust a system like this as I replace much of my vinyl for a CD collection. This CD gives me what I want for the Everly Brothers in one purchase.

The Best.......2004-04-01

Any fan who appreciates the Everly Brothers has to have
this album. The remastered sound is superb of course, but
the deciding factor on this one should be the inclusion
of their last hit, after more than 20 years had passed since
their previous one.
After the team reunited, one of their biggest fans wrote
a song especially for them. Paul McCartney wrote "Wings of
a Nightingale" for them, and it is a truly beautiful song
that displays their harmony at its best, and the song is
not usually found on other collections.
Get the best of all their classic early hits, plus this
last hit.
A must have for any fan.
