K.t. Oslin - Greatest Hits: Songs from an Aging Sex Bomb.......2006-11-10

Her voice has great range and she has such control ! Her songs are from her soul..aging sex bomb or not ! We love her.

K.T Shines again.......2005-11-11

Just when you miss your favorite K.T. song, you get lucky with this great cd. All her great hits with a few new goodies to tie it all in. Her voice, as usual sounds great. I am a die hard K.T fan and any cd she sings.. well she had me at 80's ladies. She refreshes Hold me, Gives New Way home a new Twist ( more Pop, less country i like it lol)

A Collection From One of the Best..........2003-06-05

When I think back to 80's country and recollect the best 'artists' of the time, I think of Rosanne Cash, Earl Thomas Conley, Judds, Lyle Lovett, and K.T. Oslin. Each of these artists brought so much freshness to country music. I loved Oslin, which surprised me because I never thought I would love music by a middle-aged sex bomb, but she is so full of sass, creativity, and she has some very fun songs that are realistic and not over-blown. I love "Hold Me", which was a bold single to release to country radio (thankfully they loved it!), "Come Next Monday", "This Woman", and "Hey Bobby" are all songs that broke down barriers about how 'country women' should be and what 'country women' should sing about. My all-time favorite of hers is "80's Ladies", which seems weird since I'm a guy and at the time the song came out, I was only in my early 20's, but that song has some of the best lyrics I've ever heard and they are so honest to what women her age had been through in their lives. I especially love the ending of the song, which sounds like a nursery rhyme, but accounts what each of the 'girls from school' ended up doing with their lives. I will always remember K.T. being the best of the 80's; a strong and vibrant woman who wasn't afraid to break down the weaker sex stereotypes. If she had been my mother, I wouldn't have been embarrassed of her at all, I would have held my head high and said, "Yep, that's my mom!"

Required Listening.......2003-05-26

This is K.D. at her finest. This woman has always stood apart from the crowd of bowers and scrapers doing whatever the industry dictates to get a hit song. She's nervy, she's strong, she's independent, and she's ungodly sexy. Some of her songs send shivers cascading down my spine.

Don't miss out. This lady is one of the music industry's best examples of a reason for existing.

K.D. Darlin', Where Are You?.......2003-05-26

I am a diehard fan of K.T. Oslin. I have been hopelessly in love with her since the eighties when her megahit, Eighties Ladies, dominated the airwaves. I mentally worship at her feet and have erotic dreams about meeting her in person.

The title song of this album, "Live Close By, Visit Often", lyrically expresses my own take on relationships (and probably that of many others of us baby boomers as we ooze past middle age) and was the catalyst that spurred my purchase of this CD. I found this song to to be perky and aggressive, very much in keeping with K.D.'s style from the beginning til now. It definitely validated my purchase.

Unfortunately, it's by far the best song of a CD that serves mainly to emphasize that the ravages of age (facelifted photos on the cover not withstanding) are gonna gitcha if ya don't watch out--in more than just the looks department. K.D. puts forth a valiant effort to project her former power and vocally cynical interpretation, but succeeds only intermittently. When she fails, she's painfully reminiscent of a 60-year-old Nancy Sinatra attempting (and failing) to sing "These Boots Are Made For Walking" (shudder).

K.D.'s strength here lies in her up-tempo songs. She whips out "Live Close By", "Somebody's Leavin' Somebody", and "Mexico Road" with her traditional upbeat spirit and power. "Mean To Me", a big-band torch song rendition, is also rendered acceptably. Unfortunately, every slow song on the album (and there are too many) causes the listener (at least, this listener) to wince.

The album ends up with K.D.'s rendition of the Rosemary Clooney classic, "Come On-a My House", originally a provocatively sexy, seductively up-tempo tune. But here, incomprehensibly, it has been transformed into a slow, eerie, sound-effect-filled production worthy of theme music for a Twilight Zone episode. All the driving, demanding sexuality of the original is missing (yes (sob)... K.D. did a sexual song without sexuality).
