| Audio CD Description You don't have to get very far into Alan Jackson's splendid second anthology of hits before you're struck by how well the rangy Georgian has built his catalogue and how beautifully Keith Stegall continually produces his songs, filling the instrumental breaks with unexpectedly creative solos. While Jackson's choice of cover songs is usually inspired ("Pop-A-Top," "Little Bitty"), he's a deft writer, alternating his tongue-in-cheek, Sheriff Andy Taylor persona with his "just a singer of simple songs" earnestness, lacing it all with an unfettered delivery and a Haggardesque dedication to the bedrock honky-tonk sound. There are times when he edges too close to formula, running the romanticized, small-town, cornbread-and-chicken conceits ("Where I Come From") into the ground. But then he quickly redeems himself with a lip-tremblingly good "Drive" or "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)." This package consists of two discs, 16 hits and two new cuts filling the first and an unnecessary and somewhat inferior eight album tracks occupying the second. Of the two new songs, the emotional husband-and-wife ballad "Remember When" handily outdistances the too-trite "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" with perennial smart-ass Jimmy Buffett. Jackson's too good an artist to settle for such an easy reach, but hey, let's cut him a little slack. He's paid his dues. |

Compressed sound, too loud compared to other music I love Alan Jackson, he is one of my favorite vocalist. But this and his other greatest hit CD is mixed compressed and to loud. Having it on my music list while listening on my headphones causes me to rip off my headphones when his music comes on and blows out my eardrums. This has happen once to often. I now have removed these two albums from my music list to save my ears.
Great album One of the few remaining modern country artists willing to stick with the "traditional" formula. And for that, Alan Jackson will go down in history alongside Porter Wagoner, George Strait, Conway, and George Jones. This album covers that later (more recent) half of Alan's career and you may be surprised at the number of hits he had in the late-'90's. There are 18 songs here, including the now "over-played" duet with Jimmy Buffet "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" and the somewhat poppish "Remember When". There are also a few cover songs here, such as: "Pop A Top", Jim Ed Brown; "Who's Cheatin Who", Charly McClain; and "It Must Be Love", Don WIlliams. The best tracks here, are those which showcase Alan's smooth delivery, with the likes of "There Goes", "Little Bitty", and "Little Man". This is an enjoyable album to listen to and well worth your dollar.
A must-have for any country music fan! If you love country music, your collection will be bare without some Alan Jackson in it! |
