One of the better greatest hits albums.......2005-07-01

The Judds One of the best female duos ever. I'm not huge
fan of country music, but the Judds are one of VERY few
country acts that I listen to now. They like the other
few country acts I follow are more of a guilty pleasure.

However, that doesn't mean they don't deserve credit. Each
one is really good singers, It's ashame the cancer came up
or they could have went further.

Anyway, this is a great album and most of the hits Why Not
Me, Rockin With The Rythm of The Rain, Mama He's Crazy and
my favorite "Grandpa (Tell Me about the good ole days) the
best tune the dead IMO..

One song I feel was left out such as Turn It Loose. Other
than that, it's worth picking up.

Classic Country.......2005-01-30

As anyone who knows me will know the first ever music I heard was by Kenny Rogers, then came The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Cliff Richard and next was The Judds.

I probably listen to them less than the rest of the artists I mentioned, but that's probably due to not enough free time and the fact I have never bought their albums on CD (the Vinyl and Tape editions are still in my house).

Anyway I can't really say why i haven't given much thought as to buying a CD of theirs until now, but it's something I'm going to have to do, with songs as good as this, I want to be able to listen to them a bit more.

The opening track on this compilation of their music is "Why not me?", i've always been undecided on this song, not because I don't like it, but at times I love it and at times I skip it to get on to the next cut (not as easy on tape and vinyl as it is on CD).

"Mama he's crazy" is one of my favourite cuts on the album, it's about a young girl talking to her mother about the love of her life and the play on words in this song are typical of many country songs ("He's heaven sent And must be out of my mind, Mama he's crazy, Crazy over me"). This was the song that really made them famous too, becoming their first #1 hit in August of 1984.

Another favourite of mine on this collection of "Grandpa Tell me 'bout the good ol' days", again this is a sentimental song, typical of the Country genre ("Did lovers really fall in love to stay? And stand beside each other come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept, Not just something they would say and then forget? Did families really bow their heads to pray? Did daddies really never go away?
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days"). Yes, the lyrics may seem somewhat corny, but here, in the context of the song, it really works well.

The rest of the tracks on this album such as "Girls night out" (a party anthem) "Cry Myself to sleep" and "A Change Of Heart", are great inclusions and when this album was released it must have seemed pretty definitive, but of course, The Judds continued to make music for several more years and in that time there was certainly enough material for RCA to produce a second volume of Judd's hit's.

The songs that made them famous.......2004-09-27

The Judds, with their great acoustic songs, were the heroines of traditional country fans in the eighties. This compilation contains the songs that made them famous. Generally, these are the hits I like best, although they had further hits (see volume 2) and they are also of a high quality.

Nine of these ten tracks are taken from their debut mini-LP and their first two full-length albums (Why not me, Rockin' with the rhythm), which I still think are their best original albums. Give a little love, the only song here not to make number one on the country charts although it came close, was never released on an original album in America - it was in the UK, as I explain in my review of their Heartland album. Note that the hits from Heartland appear on the second volume of hits.

Among the songs, my favorites are Why not me, Girls night out and Grandpa (tell me 'bout the good old days), but every song here is a classic.

If you buy this and the second volume of hits, you'll have all the essential Judds recordings with the possible exception of Don't be cruel.

Judds not duds.......2007-07-10

This is a great compilation of the Judds' hits. They were a great mother/daugther duos. Theire voices harmonize well but are sufficiently different so that there is nice variation in the mix of pitches. The music on here is definitely country. There's a good mix of uptempo, energetic stuff and soulful songs. Particularly good songs:

Why Not Me
Rocking with the Rhythm of the Rain
Turn it Loose - excellent, great attitude and spunk
Girls Night Out
Have Mercy
I Know Where I'm Going

Judge the Judd's ..........2007-01-03

I have always liked the Judd's and own several of their CD's. In my opinion, this one ranks up there near the top of my Judd's list.

Most of the essentials.......2003-10-06

The Judds, with their great acoustic songs, were the heroines of traditional country fans in the eighties, and this compilation contains most of the essentials. As the title suggests, all these songs were number one hits in the country charts.

Of the songs here, I particularly like Mama he's crazy (in which a girl asks her mother's advice about a boy), Girls night out (a good time song), Why not me and Grandpa tell me about the good old days - just a few of the Judds classics included here.

One of many great songs that are not included here is Love can build a bridge, which is probably the song they are best known for in Britain. Perhaps it didn't make number one or perhaps the Judds had more number one hits than the record company were willing to include.

While this collection is far from complete, the sheer quality of the music here is undeniable. As such, it is a great introduction to their music, but note that full length CD's have previously been available in both Britain (Judds collection) and America (Essential Judds) so if you can obtain either of those, you won't need this.

a great CD.......2003-04-18

This is a great cd. Every song it is good and has that quality to it that makes you want to listen to it over and over again. Also it's a great CD to drive w/ as it's upbeat but mellow and has great instrumentals too. Not one song on this CD is bad. I really love Wynonna's voice in Have Mercy and Turn it Lose and the instrumentals in Turn it Lose are really good too. I would recommend this CD to anyone as it's a very good all-around CD and is one of the best #1 hits cds/tapes I've ever heard.

Incredible.......2002-08-15

Its very rarely that I find a CD where I like every song equally. This album is one of the chosen few. Naomi & Wynonna put their soul into every song. From the rocking heartbreak songs to the soulful ballads this CD will captivate your intrest and get ya off of your feet. I recomend this CD to anyone who likes true country music.

Heart and Soul.......2005-01-16

The Judds are simply put, awesome country singers. Lyrically, The Judds combine faith and love and intertwine both to create beautiful rhythm. Musically, they always got that country twang, good for the soul. You can't help but feel the vibe on "Turn It Loose". My favourites include "Young Love" and "John Deere Tractor", both of which take you through the motions and tell a story. The Judds will remain good quality and classic country music, to the root and vein of every heart.

More Judds classics.......2004-09-27

This collection picks up where the first volume ends although it includes a couple of tracks from their early albums that didn't make it on to that volume, these being John Deere tractor and Have a dream (a cover of a song that Elvis Presley had recorded as For the heart). The remaining tracks are taken from the albums Heartland, River of time and Love can build a bridge, except for Guardian angels, which didn't appear on any original album. One disappointing omission is another Elvis cover, Don't be cruel, but it only just made the country top ten so maybe it was not considered essential.

My favorite tracks here are Young love (an original song, not a cover of the fifties classic) and Love can build a bridge. The latter song is the one they are best known for in Britain, not because of their own lovely recording, but because of a charity pop cover version that was a UK number one pop hit. It's good, but the original is best and makes regular appearances on UK country various artist compilations.

If you enjoy their first hits collection or the albums from which those hits are taken you will surely enjoy this too although I feel the first volume is the stronger of the two overall.

"Love" Builds Another Bridge of Success for the Judds.......2004-03-31

Prime Cuts: Are the Roses Not Blooming, Love Can Build a Bridge, Talk About Love

Country music has never been conducive to duos. Save for Brooks and Dunn, JJ White, Thrasher Shriver, the Kinleys, the Larkins, Corbin/Hanner, Darryl and Don Ellis, the Lynns, Brother Phelps, Turner Nichols have come and gone without causing much of a dent on the genre's charts. Not so with the Judds. Right through the 80s, this mother and daughter duo was a mainstay in country music: winning every conceivable awards for vocal duos, frequented the lofty heights of the country charts and their concerts were of blockbuster success. Part of their indelible success can be attributed to the fact that you could never pigeonhole Naomi and Wynonna Judd. The Judds could very well be the poster child of how to balance between bluesy romp, rocking youthful pop and bucolic down home balladry. "Love Can Build a Bridge," their final studio album, is evidence.

As the delectable jazzy piano, introduced a haunting Wynonna Judd on this ferocious leadoff single, "Born to Be Blue" opens the album at a promising start. The delightful bluesy riffs are again used to its advantage in "Rompin' Stompin' Blue." Naomi Judd's sassy harmony certainly augments Wynonna's full bodied Bonnie Riatt-type delivery very nicely on this track. Speaking of Riatt, the diva makes an appearance on this track with her excellent slide guitar playing. "This Country's Rockin'" as the title suggests, continues to find Wynonna howling and grunting in funky jubilation. Though not one that addresses the deep issues of the human condition, lyrically "This Country's Rockin'," a blithe partying anthem, may be a little contrived.

Lyrically much superior is the sparse ballad "Are the Roses Not Blooming?" "Roses'" delicately sings home the homily that there is always hope in the midst life's tribulation. This is a great attestation that Nashville's songwriters can utilize the matter of three minutes or so to speak to one's heart. Wynonna's sensitive vocals and John Jarvis' excellent playing on the keyboard are sublime. "Love Can Build A Bridge," another top 10 hit for the Judds, continues the inspirational thread. Though lyrically a little cliché, this Paul Overstreet, John Jarvis and Naomi Judd co-write with its theme of reconciliation has a universal rhetoric.

Two of the most country offerings are "John Deere Tractor" and "Calling in the Wind." For the sake of nostalgia, "John Deere Tractor," their debut single was revived, albeit a new recording. "John Deere Tractor" and "Calling in the Wind," are both backed by nice fiddling and potent imagery. You don't get more country than tractors, open fields and a paternal tribute.

However, without trying to be too rustic, "Talk About Love" is one of the best pop offerings the Judds has had ever recorded. Wynonna's urgent delivery is backed by a punchy beat and some exceptional guitar playing, "Talk About Love" is an understated gem. Equally poppish, though less poignant is Naomi Judd and Don Schlitz's "One Hundred And Two."

There are many pleasurable on this final Judds CD. But the essential quality that sets this CD apart from other country releases is the inter-weaving vocals from mama Judd and daughter. This is further accentuated by Brent Maher's deft production. Together with their previous release "River of Time," these two CDs are the Judds at their finest.

One of My All-Time Favorites........2007-06-08

This was one of my favorite albums as a kid. My mom used to listen to it all the time. I just love the beautiful harmonies between Naomi and Wynnona. It doesn't have their big hit "Grandpa" but does include other big hits of theirs such as "Mama He's Crazy". Honestly, though, every song on this album is worth listening to. It's such a high quality album with good songs, good instrumentation (in a simple, traditional style), and above all, excellent voices. Definitely a classic.

Best of Judds.......2007-05-31

Every cut on this CD is good. How often is only one song really good? Not this CD. Every song is worth listening to and enjoying.

Love the Judds.......2006-03-10

I was very satisfied with the purchase I made from Amazon. I had received my cd and it was bad would not play so I e mailed and told them about it and another was sent out right away. and I returned the bad one. So the service was excellent. I enjoyed all the songs on this CD. Thanks

The classic breakthrough album.......2005-08-31

Wynonna (daughter) and Naomi (mother) began their career with a six-track mini-album but this full-length follow-up (including one of the six earlier tracks, Mama he's crazy) was the one that gave them their breakthrough. It features four major country hits - Mama he's crazy, Why not me, Love is alive and Girls night out - together with six other excellent songs including a couple of covers - Endless sleep, My baby's gone - of songs from the fifties.

When I first bought this on vinyl, I played it a lot. Although the style is simple with few instruments, it was (and still remains) fresh and exciting, unmistakeable for anybody else's music. I later realized that one of the features that set this album apart was the prominent use of a dobro - an instrument that traditional country and bluegrass fans are reasonably familiar with, but which is not used as often as it might be. Of course, the excellent mother-and-daughter harmonies and the high quality songs also help to make this album a classic. Apart from a dobro, the only instruments used are buss, drums, piano, steel, harmonica and guitars.

With this album, the Judds became major country music stars. Subsequent albums were also of a high quality, but this remains my favorite original Judds album.

Not-So-Good Album Cover, but GREAT songs!.......2007-06-15

We have a joke in Atlanta: "Didja hear about those two ***s that attacked that woman? One of 'em held her down, and the other one did her hair." As on all first five Judds' albums/CD's, Wynonna is...well, I can't be totally "disinterested" here, becaue I've had a crush on her since about '85 - but - ugh - Naomi looks like those ***s got to her. Regardless, "Rockin" is a fine, FINE bit of music: back when Don Potter was directly responsible for their sound, and before Naomi got sick. And it's been mentioned (a LOT) of places elsewhere, but about this time, I got fed up with what was considered "popular music," Rock And Roll having died with E in 1977. DREADFUL time, folks - but Country was going thru one of its all too rare renaisances, beautiful Women, and Men that didn't whine, like Dwight and Clint. And the seventh song on the album, "Cry Myself To Sleep," honest, was the VERY CATALYST that finally made me put down my treasured Presision Bass and pick up my ancient Epiphone-something acoustic. And I began frequenting "Open Mike" nights whereever, and was very gratified whenever I'd find a Lady who sing Wynonna's part, and let me sing Naomi and play my acoustic. Rambling, yes, but this album/CD - WOW: "Have Mercy" "Grandpa" "Workin In The Coal Mine" (God Bless Don Potter for the beautiful guitar he played for them!) - but as I said, "Cry Myself To Sleep" has since become one of my equals with treasures such as "Gimme Shelter," "Once Bitten Twice Shy," "In My Life," "Whiter Shade Of Pale," "Dock Of The Bay" - I guess you get the message. The ultimate compliment: "Rockin' With The Rhythm" is one of those all-too-rare CD's that you can put on and PLAY ALL THE WAY THRU without skipping over yucky tracks.

Awesome Judd music.......2006-08-21

As many people have already said, this is a great follow-up to the Why Not me cd. One of my all-time favorite Judd songs is Grandpa, Tell me bout the good ole days.(which is about Wynonna's grandpa) I think this really is a showcase of Wynonna's vocals and Naomi's accompanying harmony.

Judds Rhythm.......2005-08-13

I just love their music. This is a good CD to sing along, full blast. Love the CD.

Great follow-up to Why not me.......2004-02-22

The Judds became major country stars as a result of their previous album, Why not me, which yielded four number one country hits (although one of them had already appeared on their debut min-LP). So - how did they follow that? The answer is - with this album, which yielded a further four number one country hits. The overall sound is different with the backing music much more restrained. The result is a smoother but sparser album than Why not me. This album therefore relies much more heavily on the voices of Wynonna and Naomi, which are of course excellent. Of the two, I prefer Why not me but I can understand why a lot of people prefer this album. The songs are of an equal standard.

The four big hits here are the title track, Have mercy, Grandpa tell me about the good old days and Cry myself to sleep. You've probably heard most or all of these tracks but there is much to like about the other six tracks here. Those tracks include a cover of Allen Toussaint's Working in the coalmine (originally a pop hit for Lee Dorsey). If I were you, Tears for you, River roll on, I wish she wouldn't treat you that way and Dream chaser are all wonderful songs.

Traditional country fans looking for a relaxing album full of quality need look no further.

The Judds did it again!.......2003-03-20

It just seems the Judds are almost unstoppable. This is a good CD. Most people know and like the singles "Have Mercy", "Grandpa", and "Rockin' with the Rhythm", but this is one of those rare releases where almost ALL the songs are great. While "Cry Myself To Sleep" is, in my opinion, the best track here, "River Roll On" is just beautiful, and their cover of "Workin' in a Coal Mine" is quite fun and daring. "I Wish She Wouldn't Treat You That Way" is also a very fun song. If you like the Judds at all and don't have this release, you are missing one of their best works.

What can I say? They did NO wrong!.......2007-03-30

Back in the (musically) VILE, vile eighties, I saw what had happened after "punk" & disco interbred, and created "New Wave." No WAY, I thought, and after my old guitarist played the incredible "Cry Myself To Sleep," I gave up and got into country for the rest of the decade. No need to elborate further, just the admission that I put my bass into storage, plicked up my ancient acoustic guitar, and began haunting "country places" on "open mic" nites. And a couple of times, I hit it lucky, and found a lady singer who knew Wynonna's vocal/lead part, who'd let me play acoustic rhythm, and sing Naomi's harmony vocal. OK, that being said, everything on the cd "Wynonna & Naomi" has been released on various other cd of theirs - except: "Isn't He A Strange One." TRY it: I guarantee it'll stand up againgt ANYTHING Linda Ronstadt ever did, and almost Emmylou Harris. Don Potter, their guitarist, was to "the" Judds what Keith Richards is to the Stones, and here, at the start of their career, Wy And Mama hadn't let "Hollywood" get to them - and the music on the first 2 cds (and this one) are, almost literally, a blast of fresh country air in your face. Again: LISTEN TO THIS!

a MUST have.......2006-08-12

Awesome debut cd for The Judd's, who have became two of *THE* most successful country singers. This is what started it all. Wynonna is known for her powerhouse vocals while mama Judd (Naomi) is know for her perfect harmonies. All of the songs are just terrific. Though my personal favorites are Mama He's Crazy (which was their first of fourteen number one songs) Cry Myself to Sleep (another number one), Change of Heart (another number one), and John Deere Tractor.

If you like country, even if you don't, you should check out this album, and indeed all of the Judd's music.

Good Music.......2006-07-19

If you are a fan of The Judds than this CD is for you. In my opinion this CD is the best The Judds have ever done. It starts out with the single One Man Woman which shows their vocal abilities of singing low and high. The next song which was also a single is called Young Love which is about a boy and a girl who meet and fall in love and it tells of how they make it through the rough times and still are in love as much as they were when they met. My favorite song on the CD is Let Me Tell You About Love mainly because I like the up-beat tempo. I saw The Judds in concert twice when they were still performing and they do one hell of a job on this song live. Water Of Love reminds me of an old western song because of the haunting music. River Of Time is a beautiful song and The Judds do a fantastic job of singing this song. The CD ends with the 4th single Guardian Angel. This song is about their ancestors and how they feel them all the time reguardless of what they do or where their at. The song didn't reach the top 10 but it is a classic. I will always love The Judds and their music.

An overlooked album.......2004-05-16

Fans who go beyond the various hits packages looking for original Judds albums generally go for their earlier music and ignore this one, which is a pity. Although this is not quite up to the standard of their best (Why not me, Rocking with the rhythm), it is still a high quality album worthy of hearing. Although the Judds were renowned for their traditional country music, this album is less traditional-sounding than their earlier music. Even so, most people who enjoy their earlier music should also enjoy this - this is still far more traditional than any of Wynonna's solo albums.

The album yielded two number one country hits (Young love, Let me tell you about love). Most of the songs are originals but there are two covers. The first (Sleepless nights) is an Everly Brothers song (written for them by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, who wrote several of their classic hits). Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Peter and Gordon, Norah Jones and Elvis Costello have also covered it. I've heard four of these six versions and they are all brilliant but the Judds' version is as good as the others. The second (Water of love) is a cover of a song by Mark Knopfler, leader of the British guitar-rockers Dire Straits. The other six songs (One man woman, Not my baby, River of time, Cadillac red, Do I dare, Guardian angel) are also of a high quality and offer plenty of variety. River of time is a wonderful ballad. Cadillac red is an up-tempo song. One-man woman is a bluesy mid-tempo song.

If you are a Judds fan - or a Wynonna fan - do not overlook this album. If you are a Dire Straits fan, perhaps you will want this to hear Mark Knopfler play electric guitar on Water of love.

Splendid attempt to stay fresh sounding..........2003-03-20

The Judds could do no wrong in the 80's, but we all knew Wynonna was capable of doing so much more than what the 'Judds' recorded. This release begins to show us what Wy is capable of and it's nice. Although I'm one to yawn at such touchy-feely songs as "Young Love"; most of the others are extraordinary and ground-breaking for the time period. "One Man Woman" is a haunting delight as is their Dire Strait's cover "Water of Love" which Mark Knopfler played guitar on. "Not My Baby" is a fun bluesy, old-styled song that is fun to listen to. "River of Time" is a very touching song and is so full of meaning and prophetic of Naomi's retire from the industry. "Guardian Angel" sums up what the Judds have been all along - down-home women with strong family values. This was the last strong release from the Judds and it shines with brightness, tenderness, playfulness, and is a gem in the Judd's fine collection.

Great Cd!.......2006-08-21

Just going to pop in here and say this is a great cd from one of the best and most successful country duos of all time.
My favorite song on here is The Sweetest Gift, in which Emmylou Harris accompanies Naomi singing Harmony and the two really compliment Wynonna.

So what can one say about the Judd's singing? It is always easy to sing along with, always full of heart and just great listening music.

Short and sweet.......2004-09-24

When this album was originally released in America, RCA were going through a phase of releasing country albums with just nine tracks on them, so that explains why this is such a short album. A tenth track (Give a little love) was available to RCA at no extra cost - it appeared on their first hits album, released at around the same time. UK buyers got a much better deal because the album had six extra tracks added (five from their debut mini-LP plus Give a little love) - however, although that version (titled Give a little love) was later re-issued on CD, it has long been out of print.

There may only be nine songs here but there is plenty of quality. Three number one country hits (Turn it loos, Maybe you're baby's got the blues, I know where I'm going) plus another country top ten hit (Don't be cruel, a cover of the Elvis classic). Some people don't like their version of Don't be cruel, but I love it.

The album is completed by I'm falling in love tonight, Old pictures (co-written by K T Oslin), Cow cow boogie, Why don't you believe me, and The sweetest gift (with backing vocals by Emmylou), all of them wonderful songs.

While I generally prefer the two full-length albums that preceded this (Why not me, Rockin' with the rhythm), this is a brilliant album in its own right.

Beautiful Christmas Music!.......2007-01-12

Christmas Time With the Judds is packed with absolutely beautiful Christmas songs that ANYONE would love. I bought the CD for my mom for her December birthday, and she adores it. She still plays it, even though Christmas has come and gone. The Judds' version of "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" is magnificent. GET THIS CD BEFORE NEXT CHRISTMAS!

Pure tradition.......2004-12-08

This Christmas album is a classic in my family, so I am sure that my love for it is in part nostalgia. Even above and beyond nostalgia, however, this is a fantastic Christmas album.

The songs are mostly classics that everyone can sing along to, which I prefer over most new Christmas tunes - and are also sung in a classic way, not re-mixed or changed in an attempt to make them unique. The album also avoids all the typical country music instruments, so there is no twang involved, just pure Christmas tunes.

The strong, clear voices of the Judds are beautifully suited for Christmas carols. And Naomi and Wynona complement each other well - Naomi's sweet melodies blend wonderfully with Wynona's grittier voice.

This is, and will remain, one of the best Christmas albums in my collection.

The Judds are always the best!!.......2003-12-18

I just saw that Wynonna lost her license for drunk driving. Isn't Naomi on the board of Mother's Against Drunk Driving? Hope she spanked Wynonna and restricted her to her room. Wynonna is too funny! She's always been her own person and done her own thing.

This music is beautiful! The Judds are incredible as always!!

A brilliant acoustic Christmas album.......2003-10-26

The first thing that strikes you about this is the picture, which was taken in Switzerland and is still the best Christmas album picture I've come across. The music is also brilliant. Although it is country, there are no fiddles or pedal steel, so it appeals to some people who don't normally like country, something confirmed by previous reviewers.

This is a generally laid-back album with the music kept to a minimum, putting the focus firmly on Wynonna and Naomi. Most of the songs are carols, though they also do excellent versions of Winter wonderland and Silver bells. Who is this babe? is an original song, while Beautiful star of Bethlehem is a lovely song which has been covered quite a few times, but nothing like as often as the other seven. Perhaps more imagination could have been made in song selection, but you won't mistake a Judds cover for any other, as their style is unique.

Despite my reservations about the song selections, this remains one of the best Christmas albums ever recorded - and it's a bargain at the price.
