Amazon.com

This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ("One of These Nights," "Hotel California") still sounding definitive and even tough. Large helpings of favorite album cuts are also included, along with a taster from a promised 2004 Eagles studio reunion. Unfortunately, "Hole in the World," Don Henley's response to September 11, feels just as empty and entitled as "Get Over It," the band's previous state-of-the-union message (from which the newer song represents a philosophical 180-degree turn). But for those seeking an overview of this Southern California juggernaut's successes, as well as telling comments from band members--mostly Henley and Frey--in a well-designed booklet, Very Best will more than do. --Rickey Wright

5 out of 5 stars Dollars and (common) cents........2007-06-14

I'm going to rate this CD based on a $1 per song cost to total cost for the entire CD (Apple and Rhapsody charge $1 per song).
The Eagles are great. Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh. I'm sure glad Hell froze over for them. Not that their recordings as the Eagles have been any good since then, but at least we might get a chance to see them live in concert.
This CD is the 'Greatest Hits' I've been waiting for. No longer do you have to buy their 'Greatest Hits - 1971 to 1975' for $14 and also their 'Greatest Hits - Vol. 2' for $15, in order to get all of their best work. There are $16 worth of great songs on here, but it will cost you $20 for the CD on Amazon. The songs are: CD 1: Tracks 1,2,3,4,7,8,13,14,15 & 17; CD 2: Tracks 1,3,5,7,9 & 10.
Better yet, all of the songs I've listed are available on iTunes. So buy each of the 16 songs individually on iTunes and save yourself $4.
Hope this helps.

5 out of 5 stars This Witchy Woman Loves this Album.......2007-06-05

Twenty hits from the Eagles make's sure you get your moneys worth. "Hotel California" & "Best of My Love" are my two faves, but I love them all. California rock and roll, gotta love it. I know this desperado type witchy woman does as she sips her tequila sunrise just before she takes it to the limit.

I love, love, love this CD. I will treasure it forever. It has all the songs I love and wanted to hear. I recommend it to anyone looking for a great Eagles collection. The Eagles Rock!

5 out of 5 stars Great album to be a cornerstone of a music library.......2007-03-07

Confession time. I never grew up with the Eagles. Until I watched the live reunion DVD at a high end home audio shop, I only knew the names and some of the songs.

This is a darned good album that spans The Eagles portfolio of songs. The live album has a more refined sound due to age and experience of the band members BUT, this is a benchmark hits album of the original recordings.

5 out of 5 stars Best Ever.......2007-02-10

This will probably become my favorite CD ever. I was wild about the Eagles' music as a kid, and I still love it!! I am so glad that I bought this CD.

Linda Ronstadt, who emerged from SoCal's vaunted early-'70s country-folk scene, became the American female rock superstar of the Me Decade. After the initial success of the Stone Poneys' Michael Nesmith-penned "Different Drum," Ronstadt expanded her horizons through interpretations of a long string of successful pop and R&B covers. Along the way she championed emerging songwriters like Warren Zevon ("Poor Poor Pitiful Me") and contemporary favorites like Neil Young ("Love Is a Rose") in the bargain. As the formula waned with the changing tastes of the '80s, she briefly turned to new wave before stepping boldly back to the pop standards of the '30s, '40s, and '50s. Unfortunately, this collection inexplicably skips over that three-album collaboration with arranger-conductor Nelson Riddle, a body of work that presaged the 1990s' lounge-pop revival by a full decade--and outclassed it by miles. It also eschews a compelling contemporary Latin chapter of her career in favor of her winning collaborations with Aaron Neville ("Don't Know Much" and "All My Life") and less successful AC fodder like "Winter Light" and "Somewhere Out There" with James Ingram. A good primer to Ronstadt's immense vocal talents and recording history, but one that's flawed by some crucial missing chapters. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

The very best of Linda Ronstadt packs a single CD with 21 Ronstadt classics released by Capitol and Elektra/Asylum from 1967-1993. 2002.

1 out of 5 stars Missing Too Many Hits.......2007-06-07

There's no reason to omit the Top 10 hit "How Do I Make You?" from 1980. It would have easily fit on the disc. As it is, this collection is incomplete.

5 out of 5 stars really is the best of..........2007-03-22

5 out of 5 stars LINDA RONSTADT GREATEST HITS .......2007-03-08

A VERY EXCELLENT CD I JUST CANT LET A DAY GO BY WITHOUT HEARING IT.IM LISTENING TO IT NOW.

5 out of 5 stars FAITHLESS LOVE.......2007-02-28

I was a big Linda Ronstadt fan in high school alhtough I only owned HEART LIKE A WHEEL. When I was 17 and a senior in high school, I photographed her portrait on the cover of the record in black and white and taped it to the inside of my locker door, pretending that ol' Linda was my girlfriend!
When I gained weight after the Army in 1980 and needed to lose weight, I took up jogging and it seemed that about evey night that I went out the adult contemporary radio station would play this phantom song that moved me deeply-SOMEONE TO LAY DOWN BESIDE ME. I had searched the record stores like crazy to figure out what the name of that song was that got to me so much. I found SOMEONE TO LAY DOWN BESIDE ME on her greatest hits album. It seemed to say to me that although I will never find the perfectly comptable mate, it seemed to me that what you get in life is someone to ;ay down beside you at night! I could understand this well!
Lately, when I bought a new table top stereo CD, I would put this soft romantic album on continual play and let ol' Linda sing me to sleep at night> I guess I was feeling pretty lonely at the time! My mom had to come into the room and turn off the stereo because this thing played on and on all night snd it drove my poor mom nuts! (I can also have a sense of humor when the neighbors don't annoy me!) Linda had a nice sweet romantic voice.
I was touched by HEART LIKE A WHEEL-"its only love that can take a human heart and turn it inside out!". And since my divorce, I have done my share of finding the girl of my dreams who at one time actually in my sleep since 1984 was this pretty little bleach blonde girl. That's a phantom girl, too. You can really mess your head up talking to so many pretty girls and they all turn you down.
Then the duet she sang with Erin Neville, to me I call it I DON'T KNOW MUCH! I would also put this sweet romantic song on repeat play when I was awake.
I seem to recognize that she had a Motown influence and a country influence. I recognize a Chuck Berry song and a Smokey Robinson song "OOH OOH OOH BABY BABY-gives me dirty feelings when she sings it. And I thought I picked out a Hank Williams song-was FAITHLESS LOVE on that album? But of course there were songs used in commercials-like ITS SO EASY to sell spray cleanser. And JUST ONE LOOK to sell Japanese cars. I used to really be into music!

4 out of 5 stars Lyin' in bed with the radio on....moonlight falls like rain............2007-05-29

For 2-3 years in the mid-late seventies, ED & JFC recorded some of the most melodic hits of the era. All their hit singles are captured here along with some other excellent though lesser known songs. My favorites include Lady, Westward Wind, Nights are Forever and Some Things Don't Come Easy. These songs will bring a smile to your face on one of those "Soft summer nights".

5 out of 5 stars Some of the very best of the 70's.......2007-05-15

Melodic harmonies and wonderful writing are the trademark of this group.
Outstanding vocals and wistful wording make this a delightful piece of music history that everyone should enjoy, even if you don't know every word to every song, you're bound to love them all!!

5 out of 5 stars England Dan & John Ford Coley Greatest Hits.......2007-04-30

Outstanding CD. I wish they were still recording.

5 out of 5 stars What memories!!!!!.......2007-03-15

When I received my package, I couldn't wait to listen to it. Man did it ever take me back. The sound quality is great in my Bose and I knew every song on it except one. As soon as each song started playing I even remembered all the words. Love them. Their harmony is amazing. Makes me wish they were still making music together. Wonderful, wonderful cd. Love, love, love it!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Defining an Era........2007-01-28

You can sit back on your sofa, or drive on a warm summer night, listen to this CD and let yourself slip in to the 1970's. The music of this great duo is such that you can't listen to it without getting wrapped up in it and putting yourself as the person in the songs. There were many, many great groups of this era, but none quite like ED and JFC.

Note that if you have a high-end stereo system, this CD will not be of the quality of some remastered "Greatest Hits" on the market today, but it *is* significantly better quality than most of the CD's of its era.

Only a handful of bands have made a greater impact with fewer recordings than the short-lived Buffalo Springfield. Their history is told in the titles of their three albums: 1967's eponymous debut was followed by the peak-performance Again later that year, which was followed by 1968's Last Time Around. While their entire recorded career encompasses a mere two years, the Stephen Stills-Neil Young-Richie Furay-led quintet produced a number of '60s rock classics. Stills chipped in "For What It's Worth" and "Bluebird"; Furay's "Kind Woman" is one of the touchstones of country-rock; and Young fired off the likes of the raucous "Mr. Soul," the gentle "I Am a Child," the ambitious "Broken Arrow," and the breathtakingly pretty "Expecting to Fly." They're all on this 12-song overview, a suitable option for anyone who isn't up to stocking up on the entire catalog. --Steven Stolder

5 out of 5 stars THE LEGEND OF BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD LIVES ON WITH SOME OF ROCK'S GREATEST ANTHEMS EVER........2007-04-16

I will be writing a review on the legendary masterpiece compilation album entitled "RETROSPECTIVE - THE BEST OF BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD" by one of Rock's all-time greatest legendary bands ever. I give you one of America's pride and joy's, BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD. This legendary compilation album was originally released in 1969 on Vinyl/LP and 8-Track on the ATCO Records label in association and division of Atlantic Records which is a Warner Communications Company. This compilation album would see its first release on Compact Disc in the late 80's. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the best informative and most accurate review possible.

BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for recording some of Rock's most legendary sacred anthems ever. When Stephen Stills met up and joined forces with Neil Young, Richie Furay, Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer, later replaced by Jim Messina, BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD would be born and a great multi-talented group would soon be a mega force to be dealt with. Although BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD only lasted a mere two years, the band would record only three albums and numerous hit singles. BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD contributed and accomplished so much in a short period of time that the band can never be denied the amount of great Rock anthems that were recorded in that short two year span. "RETROSPECTIVE - THE BEST OF BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD" is the result of the many great hit songs that the band recorded during their two year reign. In my opinion, this legendary masterpiece compilation album is without a doubt, a definite true testament of five extremely talented musical masterminds and is a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary band that was truly indeed, far ahead of their time.

It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically. This legendary masterpiece compilation album begins with one of the all-time greatest Rock anthems to ever document the Vietnam War, "For What It's Worth," the breathtaking Rocker "Mr. Soul," the slow and smooth sounding "Sit Down, I Think I Love You," the slow soothing "Kind Woman," the beautiful uplifting "Bluebird," the beautiful heartfelt "On The Way Home," the incredible beautiful sounding "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing," the blistering half live and half studio version of Neil Young's "Broken Arrow," the beautifully well arranged mild number "Rock And Roll Woman," the encouraging Country Rocker "I Am A Child," another great Country Rocker entitled "Go And Say Goodbye" and the the slow and beautifully orchestrated song "Expecting To Fly." May I also add that this legendary group mainly comprising of the talented mega-star lineup of Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Jim Messina contributed some of Rock's most beautiful musical arrangements while including and containing some of the most powerful lyrics ever.

Overall, this is one hell of a greatest hits compilation album worth seeking further research into and checking out especially if you are a hardcore diehard BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD fan or a devout music historian or collector. As for all of the curious newcomers and new beginners that are not familiar with the sound and music of BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD but have to write a book report in U.S. History on Rock anthems during the Vietnam War in the 60's and early 70's, this album is definitely for you.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary masterpiece compilation album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This greatest hits treasure album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This is one great compilation album that no hardcore music fanatic or devout music historian or collector would want to be without. Please buy this album, you'll be glad that you did. You can research and purchase all of BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD'S catalog collection either through Amazon com or your local Borders books and music store.

In closing, as I stressed earlier in this review, BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD would only last a mere two years. However, three of the band's legendary members would move on to bigger green pastures and greater things which would only add more fuel to the BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD storied legend and legacy. Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Jim Messina would not only have successful solo careers, but would enjoy being in other bands as well. Stephen Stills and later Neil Young would become part of the legendary band CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG while Jim Messina would enjoy success as part of a dual act in the band Loggins and Messina with Kenny Loggins. With all of the great albums that these combined legendary bands have recorded, their roots and influence while in BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD is fully intact and can never be denied. BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD has forever left their mark in Rock n' Roll history and will never be forgotten. So here's to you Stephen, Neil, Richie, Dewey, Bruce and Jim. Thanks for the great memories. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD FOREVER. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

4 out of 5 stars Good, but needs an update.......2007-04-10

Buffalo Springfield only had one big hit "For What its Worth" but their influence was felt beyond their impact on the charts or the sales of the few albums they released. They helped keep the folk/coutry-rock movement moving and launched the careers of Stephen Stills and Neil Young. This is a good overview of their brief career, but it is just a song-for-song reissue of the vinyl LP. They could put twice as many songs on a CD. It is time for an update with some bonus tracks or an all new release.

5 out of 5 stars Unique tunes that will stick with you.......2007-03-19

The seminal group that produced Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and Jim Messina. This CD shows all the different flavors the members contributed to making Buffalo Springfield songs unique and compositions that you'll want to listen to over and over again (my personal favorite is "Broken Arrow"). "Mr. Soul" and "For What It's Worth" notable radio hits on this CD. Take a trial listen--you might be surprised. Once you've heard the songs a few times you'll want to hear them over again. Another one of my albums that was a favorite in late '60's & early '70's before album wore out!

5 out of 5 stars ANOTHER 60's "GREAT GROUP".......2007-01-10

The group didn't last long....but their impact with last forever!! There was just too much talent in this group- i.e. Steven Stills, Neil Young,Bruce Palmer (later replaced by Jim Messina) and Dewey Martin & Richie Furay... A rich collection of harmony, & the songs that were compliled for this "Retrospective" is AWESOME!! Try it...you'll LOVE IT!! ENJOY!! (As I did...my son too!!)

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars It's even better due to the fact that it has the previously unreleased "Einstein On The Beach!".......2007-05-09

"Einstein On The Beach" is what really made this greatest hits album exceptional. This was always one of my favorite Counting Crows songs, but it never got released on any of their albums, so it wasn't until this greatest hits album got released that I finally was able to own that song after all these years. Even without this song on there, however, this would still be a great collection. After all, IT'S COUNTING CROWS!!

5 out of 5 stars This album is worth the dough!.......2007-03-09

This is a really good greatest hits album by The Counting Crows. It includes all their hits except for one that I feel should have been included, "A Murder of One" it's off their first album "August And Everything After." All together you should buy this album or at least dl and add it to ur collection. I have it on my mp3 player and you should too!

5 out of 5 stars Best of Counting Crows.......2007-01-30

Excellent album, I get it over a year ago and I swear a week doesn't go by where I can't help from putting this cd in my cd player! Nice mix of songs and a good variety too. So no matter what mood ur in this cd has something on it for you!

5 out of 5 stars I've been Counting Crows since I got this album.......2007-01-30

I was never a "real" fan of Counting Crows before seeing them in concert this summer. I had the songs "A Long December," "Mr. Jones," and "Colorblind" in my collection. This "greatest hits" album is a great way to experience the band without buying their myriad of CDs, if you can't afford them. Some of them are old favorites, including two of the three mentioned above. Some were new to me, including "American Girls" and "Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman)," both of which I had never heard before and now really enjoy. I would suggest, however, that you do purchase "Colorblind" separately, because it is one of their best songs and is not included in this album.

5 out of 5 stars Buy it now.......2007-01-21

I recently bought this CD and loved it. Some of the songs are often heard on the radio, and those are the ones I listened to a lot at first, and then I started listening to the rest of the CD and found it was absolutely incredible.

I love that their songs have some point while still being upbeat, for the most part, which is a rare feat- I've found most light songs lack any real depth.

My favorite song on this CD was 'Anna Begins', but they were all amazing.

I also had the chance to see the Counting Crows live in concert, and that was amazing too- I think the live version adds to the depth of the songs, so now I'm planning to buy their live CD as well.

I'd definitely recommend this CD to anyone.

Quite an awesome CD- Covers everything from the early hits to later music- Takes you from "Truckin'" to "Touch of Grey" all with great digital quality- A must for anyone checking out the band's music now- All the Deadheads already have it-

3 out of 5 stars Like it alot.......2007-07-03

It is great car music. Not "jammy" so I don't have to worry about breaking into dance while driving! Would be better if it did have a live tune or two.

5 out of 5 stars groovy tunes.......2007-05-14

I love the Dead and this is a great collection of some of their best!!!
Jerry will live on thru his music

4 out of 5 stars The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion).......2007-05-12

This album does not exist for the converted. It's not here for the tried and true Deadhead. You've already got all of this, most likely in a far superior live version from a sound board tape.

This collection exists for that guy who has heard "Touch of Grey" and "Truckin'" on the radio and wants to own them, but doesn't want to wear tye-die. It exists for that young kid who has heard legend of the Dead, but was too young too see them and missed the boat. It exists for the folks who are curious about their music yet feels intimidated by the vast amount of material available out there (106 officially released titles to date, not including all the tapes out there...) .

This disc exists for these folks, and in that light it works very well. Sure, it's incomplete as any single-disc best of by a band who recorded for 30 years would be, but it covers all the major bases. And it does so better than the "Skeletons...", "...Long Strange Trip..." and "Arista Years" compilations do, and is far-superior in sound quality than any of them. Above all, it whets the appetite for more.

So for the uninitiated, this is the best place to begin your long, strange trip. For some, this may be all you need. But chances are you'll find yourself wanting more...

5 out of 5 stars the best of the best.......2007-04-11

IT HAS ALL THE ESSENTIALS BUY THIS AND WHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP ITS BEEN AND THEN YOU GRATEFUL DEAD COLLCTIONS COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Amazon.co.uk

Less than two years after the death of her mentor, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris recorded her first album for Reprise. Pieces of the Sky inaugurated a suite of four mid-'70s albums and a surprising number of hits: her sound was clearly traditional, but also tastefully up-to-date with folk-rock and singer/songwriter styles, and her crystalline, febrile vocals took standards such as "Love Hurts" and "If I Could Only Win Your Love" back up the charts. This compilation brings together her biggest hits, and shows why Harris is important and why she continues to make adventurous country music. Through unfailingly tasteful song selection, brilliant occasional songwriting, and her cool, velvety soprano, Harris extended Gram Parsons's vision of "cosmic American music" and made it her own. --Roy Kasten

Album Description

Masterful at rock, country, folk, bluegrass, and more, Emmylou Harris is one of the most distinctive and visionary voices in contemporary music. The artist's lucid, achingly gorgeous vocals and a string of celebrated albums-many featuring her acclaimed "Hot Band"-have earned Harris eleven Grammys and made this alt-country/roots-rock innovator a legend in her own time.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!.......2007-06-14

I thoroughly enjoy every song on this CD, and listen to it often.

5 out of 5 stars Add this to your collection!.......2007-01-13

I originally bought this CD for 1 or 2 songs. I saw her perform with Elvis Costello singing "Love Hurts" and I thought it was fantastic. I was disappointed when I couldn't find this duo singing; but, decided to purchase this CD. It really is very good. I am amazed by her talent.

5 out of 5 stars Another vote for Emmylou's voice...........2006-08-25

I definitely agree, that listening to the best of this CD, is pure heaven...and to my ears, if you buy this beautiful album, just enable the following cuts and listen to them over.....and over...that's heaven....

Boulder to Birmingham
Pancho and Lefty
To Know Him is to Love Him
Orphan Girl
Michaelangelo
The Connection

Of course, if you buy this CD, you will probably have some different cuts that you also love. Emmylou Harris, we all love you and your voice, and your music...

Heavenly Heartaches & Highways...

5 out of 5 stars To touch the heart........2006-07-18

The fact that Emmylou Harris is breathtakingly beautiful distracts only very slightly from her amazing grace as a singer. She is truly touched and truly moving.

4 out of 5 stars One fault---this needed to be a two-disk set!.......2006-05-30

Otherwise, it's wonderful. Really does span the years, but I think there are some places where more emphasis is needed and would have preferred to see a second disk to do it.

From Amazon.co.uk

After immeasurable success in the U.S., Faith Hill finally comes to Europe, and There You'll Be is a sort of catch-up for the best bits we may have missed along the way (or, in other words, a greatest hits collection for the uninitiated). A dozen songs which map the path of the Georgia singer, it includes the massive hit for which she has come to be known over here--"There You'll Be," from the Pearl Harbor soundtrack--together with some pop anthems like "The Way You Love Me (Love to Infinity Mix)." However, the style she delivers most convincingly is that of her roots in country, with "Let Me Let Go", "Piece of My Heart," and "You Give Me Love" from the earlier albums being the clear highlights of this collection. --Gunther Matejka

Album Description

Exclusive import only best of collection includes two tracks unavailable on the Euro pressing, 'The Way You Love Me (Love To Infinity Remix)' & 'If I Should Fall Behind'. Other tracks include, 'There You'll Be', 'This Kiss (Pop Radio Version)', 'Breathe (Tin Tin Out Remix)', 'The Way You Love Me', 'Let Me Let Go', 'Piece Of My Heart', 'If My Heart Had Wings (Single Version)', 'There Will Come A Day', 'Love Will Always Win', 'My Wild Frontier', 'You Give Me Love', 'Somewhere Down The Road (From Princess Of Egypt O.S.T.), 'Over The Rainbow (From For Our Children Too O.S.T.)' & 'Breathe (Pop Remix)'. 2001.

Album Details

I write this knowing how much I love to hear Faith Hill sing , and knowing how much of her Music that I own , and have listened to over the
years , this supposed to be Greatest Hits Ablum that leaves out some of her Hits ,adds these New Songs does away with what the Album is Called , and suppose to be , "The Best OF Faith Hill" , I DON'T THINK SO!

5 out of 5 stars Just the good stuff.......2007-03-09

I am not a huge country western fan, but there are certain artists I really like. I like when an artist comes out with a greatest hits CD that really is filled with greastest hits. If you are a Faith Hill fan, but want to buy just one CD, then buy this one.

1 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed.......2007-03-08

Thought it would be a greatest hits CD of all her original music. Would not have purchased if I had heard CD before I ordered it.

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation.......2006-11-12

This import CD by Faith Hill is a great compilation of her hits, it also includes never before released songs such as "over the rainbow" which she performs with great diversity. Although a little pricy, well worth the money for true Faith Hill fans.

3 out of 5 stars Sounds Good but It is miss something!.......2006-09-16

This cd sounds good but it is missing some of her best songs! 'It Matters To Me' is my fav and it is not to be found on Faith Hill's Best of! She has some good ones with Tim McGraw also not on this cd! So I would wait!!!!!!!!

Album Description

The emergence of North Carolinian Randy Travis heralded a sea change in contemporary country. The true pioneer of the hugely popular new traditionalist movement, Travis helped reconnect the genre with its roots. His 1986 debut, Storms Of Life, delivered two #1 singles and became country's first-ever multiplatinum album. Getting back to basics never felt so good, and Travis remained country’s dominant voice for years- "Forever And Ever, Amen," from '87's Always & Forever , launched a run of seven consecutive country chart-toppers. He hit #1 most recently in '03 with the award-winning "Three Wooden Crosses," and he remains indisputably, one of country's all-time superstars.

Nobody else can interpret and sing a piece of music as Randy Travis. One of my favorites that he sings on this cd is: "I had a little talk with Jesus." Imus played this on his show one morning and it is now one of my favorites.

While "progressive bluegrass" might sound like an oxymoron, it's a good description of this dynamic acoustic trio's approach. Fans of traditional string-band music might flinch at Nickel Creek's experimentation, but there is little doubt that the threesome has attracted the largest crossover audience to the genre since Jerry Garcia. Still, the rigors of working together since they were teens have prompted an open-ended sabbatical at the end of their 2007 tour. Cue the Christmas 2006 hits package--it's the perfect time to cash in on the catalog with the band still hot as an active unit. Since Nickel Creek has recorded just three albums for Sugar Hill, it does seem a bit premature for this recap. But the label has done an admirable job by adding a bonus DVD of the act's seven videos and arranging the audio tracks in non-chronological order to enhance the flow. If anyone had any doubts that these youngsters were the future of bluegrass, Reasons Why should erase them. They never let their instrumental virtuosity on guitar, fiddle, and mandolin get in the way of writing terrific material such as "When in Rome"--a should-have-been hit on the order of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion"--and they also deliver the goods in concert. A nine-minute live version of "The Fox"--one of two previously unreleased performances that close this collection--proves they can mash up Bach, Bill Monroe, and Dylan with such cool aplomb, one can only imagine what the future holds. Until then, we have this compact reminder of Nickel Creek's strengths and potential--a superb collection that is as classy and challenging as the group itself, and leaves the listener wanting more. --Hal Horowitz

5 out of 5 stars Sugary sweet.... Your speakers will never sound better!.......2007-07-19

Saw this group at Stagecoach fest in Coachella, CA. The lyrical parts are sometimes thought provoking, but the music steals the show. These young musicians are amazing and truly goosebump material. Harmonies are dead on and whoever mixed this stuff should produce every known band! Even if you don't like country or bluegrass, this disc is a breath of FRESH AIR! The bonus DVD is a nice addition. Sara Watkins is cuter than a daisy. Too bad so many listen to the pre-packaged garbage on the radio today... These guys should be on top!

3 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not exceptional.......2007-07-18

I am a huge fan of Nickel Creek, have enjoyed them live, and own all their albums. Because of this, I would buy this set just for the live versions of "move that mountain" and "the fox". I already owned all the other songs on various albums, and was hoping for more live material. However, the DVD music videos are just okay, and the lighthouse song is truncated severely in the video. I was hoping for concert footage here too, rather than VH1/CMT videos. Oh well. The smoothie song video is a fun idea...

1 out of 5 stars defective.......2007-06-13

This cd was defective. It was suppossed to have two cds but only one works and the other one is blank.
I have a very busy work schedule and it is a real hassle for me to take the time to return it so I have not even started the process.
This is why I hesitate to buy online for this very reason.

5 out of 5 stars Not Your Average Bluegrass.......2007-06-03

My wife found this group when she came across their song Robin & Marion. We fell in love with the music immediately. This is not you father's bluegrass band. They seem to draw from a myriad of influences and styles: a blend of bluegrass, Irish folk, DMB, and even some 60's American folk (think Simon and Garfunkel).
This particular collection, selected from all of their releases, is wonderful and serves as a good introduction to the trio and their music. The DVD portion of this only covers their music videos and I truly think they shine best in their live performances. I would have liked to have seen one or two of those included.

5 out of 5 stars Great overview.......2007-05-26

This CD/DVD set is the final chapter overview for Nickel Creek. Its members are now young adults. Of the 3, no doubt Chris Thile will forge a career, if he chooses, that will be as memorable as some of his mentors, viz Mike Marshall and Mark O'Connor.

This set is a great taste of a wonderful collective. God bless them all in future: good music, good souls and wonderful musical fellowship.
