Complete.......2007-07-09
This is how you do a greatest hits collection. You put ALL of them on there. Not a mix of half greats, and half "other", then release the rest on another "greatest hits" CD.
Get the Infinity album too........2007-07-07
Unfortunately, it does not include my favorite song tandem Feeling That Way/ Anytime. For that you need to buy The Infinity album. It does include some great songs, a good mix of rockers and ballads. Definitely worth the price to anyone who loves classic rock and roll or was a teen in the late '70s. But do yourself a favor and get the Infinity album too.
The long Journey home.......2007-07-06
A must for any collection. Perry's voice is amazing. All the hits are in this CD, plus a couple you forgot
Dollars and (common) cents........2007-06-18
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).
I can still remember the days when, if you were a guy, you didn't admit to your friends that you liked Journey. I guess because they wrote a lot of soft rock or 'pop' love songs and had a really big lady following back then. Journey was so damn popular that they had their own video arcade game. It was much better than Kiss' pinball machine. Is Steve Perry ever going to do a reunion with the band?
This CD is great. I'm not afraid anymore to admit that I like Journey. The CD on Amazon is priced at $10. There are $14 worth of excellent songs on here (Tracks 1 through 14). So this CD is worth the price. You can also load the entire album on iTunes for $10, if you don't want to wait for the CD in the mail (and save yourself the shipping costs).

Journey into Television History.......2007-06-14
Thank you David Chase for the best ever television series created with The Sopranos. Thanks to you also for selecting Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" for the final song of The Sopranos that will forever tie Journey and The Sopranos together in television history. Both are in classes by themeselves and will never be surpassed.

Recorded live at Dallas's Texas Stadium in 2004, this long-delayed release is worth the wait. Over 15 tracks, the three superstars sing together, separately, and in pairs for what turns out to be both a musical treat and a long draw of fun. Strait, who normally stands stock still in concert, loosens up and--surprise!--talks between songs ("That's country right there now"), and if my ears heard right, may actually say the word "ass." His is the strongest section musically, as he uses the western-swing classic "Milk Cow Blues" to stretch out with a fine showcase of his Ace in the Hole Band, and brings Jackson out for a masterful version of their hit "Murder on Music Row." But Jackson's set offers a personality-rich rendition of "Where I Come From," as well as a bluegrass version of Steve Young's "Seven Bridges Road" and a sturdy cover of "Texas Women," Hank Williams Jr.'s exercise in Lone Star braggadocio. Buffett gets a little too cute on "Margaritaville," on which over-the-top chorines shout, "Salt! Salt! Salt!" But when Jackson and Strait join him for a rousing romp through "Hey, Good Lookin'," you can almost see the ghost of Hank Sr. dancing in the aisles. --Alanna Nash
Customer Reviews:
Great Key West Country!.......2007-07-06
I am a "Parrothead" and have been for years. Jimmy's easing into Country is a great move in that it introduces him to many potential new fans. I wish there was a DVD of this concert available.
Fun, but seems like you had to be there.......2007-07-04
Nice music from a stadium performance. Makes you feel you needed to be there to "get" some of it.
Buffett master of style.......2007-06-09
Jimmy Buffett will be remembered in Music History as the Troubadour of the the 20th Century. His ease at
shining in so many musical genres makes him worth remembering and truly above the average pop star in the
opinion of this humble music teacher.
Live at Texas Stadium.......2007-06-08
These are 3 of my very favorite artists. This album is outstanding. I think they had a lot of fun doing it and their enthusiam comes thru.
Multiple stars are good!.......2007-06-04
I especially like when more than one entertainer participates on the stage or a recording. It always makes it seem more original and not the set patter you usually get. I like all of these artists so the combination is fun.

A few decades ago nearly every country singer had at least one--often more--gospel albums in their catalog. Today, aside from gospel veteran Amy Grant, who balances the sacred and secular, and Randy Travis, that concept has long faded. For Alan Jackson, however, treating the musical past as present has been a way of life, as it is with these 15 timeless hymns from his youth. Recorded with just two acoustic guitars and a piano, it was originally a private Christmas present to his mother. The spare instrumentation is surprisingly robust behind his flawless readings of "I'll Fly Away," "Softly and Tenderly," "How Great Thou Art," "Are You Washed in the Blood?," and "The Old Rugged Cross," all as beguilingly unpretentious as any of his country hits. Instead of an all-star duet, wife Denise and daughters Mattie and Ali join in on "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus." In the end, what began as a private bequest becomes a moving, eloquent gift to Jackson's entire audience. --Rich Kienzle
Customer Reviews:
You will love this album.......2007-06-27
This album by Alan Jackson is one of the most inspirational ones that I've ever purchased. The way Alan sings these classic hymns is timeless and touching. I've loved this album so much that I obtained copies for friends at church who have all said that I had no idea of how much they loved this album.
One thing that I will definately recommend to readers of this review- you MUST buy the companion DVD in which Alan Jackson performs these songs live at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. The DVD includes 2 songs that weren't shown on the CMT presentation. Alan really gets the joint jumping during the renditions of "Are You Washed in the Blood/I'll Fly Away" The DVD is available through this website. Please get it!
Get Randy Travis instead.......2007-06-24
Not bad, but I still thought a lot of it was over-instrumentalized and some of the timing/tempo was awkward (too slow and/or had lost the rhythm). Randy Travis' _Worship & Faith_ is less melodramatic and easier to sing with.
Wonderful .......2007-06-21
This is the first CD that I have purchased of Alan Jackson. I love country/bluegrass/gospel music.
This is an exceptional CD. It offers a great selection of songs which are sung superbly with sincere warmth. It is one of those Cd's that you can listen to while you are relaxing or just doing your housework.
Please Alan, give us some more gospel recordings like this soon.
Very well done.......2007-06-04
After growing up in church and serving as church pianist for over 20 years, I feel the need to express my disappointment that the hymns are not sung very much nowadays. Today's church song leaders and choir directors prefer to have their congregations sing praise and worship choruses instead of traditional hymns from the hymn book. I'm not even sure that most young people have even heard many, if any, hymns. Worse, many people who do sing hymns don't sing them the way they're traditionally supposed to be sung. I was very pleased, therefore, when Alan Jackson recorded this CD. I saw his concert on TV, and immediately thereafter ordered the CD. Alan Jackson sings the hymns the way they were sung in church when I was growing up... the way they're supposed to be sung. If you ask me, this is worship at its best.
Precious Memories.......2007-05-25
Another great by Alan Jackson, really enjoyable
entertainer. A good DVD to listen to at home or
in the car.

The big question about this soundtrack is: how's she doing? No, not Beyoncé, silly--how's Jennifer Hudson doing? And more specifically, how's she doing by "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going"? To this reviewer's ears, she doesn't top the original Effie, Jennifer Holliday--or even Lillias White, from the 2001 Dreamgirls in Concert. On the other hand, Hudson isn't afraid to pullout all the stops, whipping herself up into a total diva frenzy as the song getscaught up in an unstoppable crescendo. As for Beyoncé, she adapts superbly to the 1960s- and 1970s-tinged material, though "Listen"--a ballad that also appears on her own B'day album--lacks the spirit that infuses the classic tunes on this album. For make no mistake: this is hard-hitting, high-octane music, infused with an urgency and passion that makes most contemporary R&B albums sound timid. When Hudson and Beyoncé duke it out on "It's All Over," or when the "One Night Only" ballad gets reinvented as the dance-floor burner "One Night Only (Disco)," the sheer energy flowing from the speakers is transporting.
Note that the two-CD Deluxe Edition features a larger booklet and additional tracks, including dance remixes of "One Night Only" and "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," as well as composer Henry Krieger's demo of "Patience." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

If you want to live the Dream, this CD will always be there..........2007-06-16
If you want to live the Dream, this CD will always be there...
I love this CD...it takes me right through all the emotions and action of the movie. Nothing is left out, all of my favorites are included even the less commercial cuts like Eddie Murphy's "Jimmy Got Soul" which gives the CD a well rounded feel.
Great Movie, Even Better MUSIC..........2007-06-16
Dreamgirls IS the best musical since GREASE... HANDS DOWN!! great songs and great performances by Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Jamie Fox, Anika Noni Rose, and especially Eddie Murphy... that boy did his thang acting and definatley singing. i almost forgot that eddie murphy had a really good singing voice...
of course the showstopper "and i am tellin u (im not going)" is my favourite song. im only 23 and im familiar with the original version performed by jennifer holiday. i love the original but to me J-Hud Killed it!!!! i perfered her version just because it was heartfelt and she performed it OUTSTANDINGLY in the movie. i cried in the theaters when she performed it... STANDING OVATION!!!!
my other favourite track is "i meant you no harm/jimmy's rap". i love the beginning of the song. eddie murphy SANG that song. then it threw me off when he started rappin. that rap was too funny!
all the other songs were great but here are my joints:
"move"
"one night only" (original)
"one night only" (Disco) (my favourite of the 2)
"cadillac car"
"I want you baby"
"dreamgirls"
this does not have all the songs on the movie. you have to purchase the deluxe edition of get "heavy" 'effie sing my song" and more...
this is probably my favourite SDTK i own and i definantly reccomend this SDTK to anyone... and the movie is as good and the songs!!!
I love it....I dooooo!.......2007-06-13
Great CD! A total sing along. Puts me in a great mood!
Skipped through most of this CD.......2007-06-04
Of the 20 songs produced on this CD, I only liked 9 of them. I bought the CD because I enjoyed the music in "Dream Girls" the movie much more than the actual movie itself. Now, I think both are over-rated. For some reason, when I first previewed this disk at Barnes and Noble, I got the impression the CD was going to include a few tracks from the original Broadway version. Had it done that, it would've been a much better buy. J-Hudson does come alive in the all the songs to which she contributes. Without her amazing delivery in songs like "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going", "One Night Only", and "I Love You I Do", the CD would be less than mediocre. Beyonce puts in her two cents in the disco version of "One Night Only" and "Listen", but let's face it - the fan-fare and hoopla rightfully belong to Ms. Hudson; Knowle's trade-mark trembling vibrato pales in comparison to Hudson's powerhouse presence.
Put shortly, if you've seen the movie, you've heard this soundtrack in its entirety (unfortunately there are no other surprises). If you somehow survived Eddie's annoying vocals on "Cadillac", "Step into the Bad Side" and "Patience" and highly enjoyed the music, experiencing the soundtrack will be a worthwhile flashback. Otherwise, save yourself some cash and find a friend who already owns a copy.
Would have been better without Beyonce.......2007-05-28
Maybe I'm "hatin'", but Beyonce is all body, and no talant. Jennifer Hudson blows Beyonce away, and the story in the movie tells the truth of how it is. The big voices... and big girls... have to move asside for the tiny girls with the tiny voices. This CD gives me mixed emotions.

The idea of twang king Alan Jackson pairing up with Alison Krauss for an album of love songs might seem heretical to some, especially if they heard only the first cut, the adult-contemporary ballad "Anywhere on Earth You Are." But producer Krauss, whom Jackson approached to make a traditional bluegrass record, always knew there was a sensuous heart beating beneath his aw-shucks demeanor, one that would fit perfectly with the intimate repertoire, genre-bending musical framework, and virtuoso players she'd always chosen for herself. (Robert Lee Castleman, one of Krauss's favorite writers, weighs in with four tunes, and Ron Block, Jerry Douglas, and Dan Tyminski, Krauss's Union Station cohorts, anchor the band.) Jackson, it turns out, also wanted a chance to reflect on the ups and downs of his long marriage, apart from 1998's daring, spoken-word hit "I'll Go On Loving You," a far lustier admission than anything included here. If there's a downside to this brilliant, if unlikely pairing, it's that Krauss's somber program could benefit from something a tad more libidinous or uptempo. But what is here is so beautifully chosen and performed (with spare, affecting harmony vocals by Lee Ann Womack, Cheryl White, Sidney and Suzanne Cox, and Krauss herself) that it's hard to quibble. Throughout, and especially on the ballad "Wait a Minute" and his own dusted-off "A Woman's Love" (1998), Jackson, who explores his rich, lower register more frequently than in the past, comes across like Don Williams in his prime. He's a middle-aged man taking stock of what and who matters most to him in life, and speaking his heart without artifice. In the title track, a song so bone-marrow deep it might bring you to your knees, Jackson declares, "I love you like all little children love pennies." That line that may sound odd and superficial by itself, but in Jackson's nuanced reading, it takes on a nearly spiritual yearning. This album, like the gospel Precious Memories before it, proves that while Jackson--the most nominated performer in CMA history--may be nearing 50, he's not ready to quit challenging himself as an artist. --Alanna Nash

like red in a rose.......2007-07-01
its a great cd but the first track is scratch so it does not play. but other than that it is a great cd.
Great Album.......2007-06-16
I am listening to the album for the third time as I am working on the computer. I almost didn't buy the album because of some of the negative reviews on Amazon, but I figured I liked the title track and A Woman's Love from the radio so I bought it. I don't know what some of the negative reviews are talking about. If all you like to hear is the same sounding Jackson, put in one of the CDs you already have and listen to it a hundred times. The songs are kind of mellow, but they are country.
Not as country as I always thought Alan was........2007-06-04
The first time I heard the song "Like Red on a Rose", I thought that it was very different from Alan Jackson's previous songs and wasn't entirely sure that I liked the shift.
Then I borrowed the album from a friend of mine to give it a listen; I intended to give Alan Jackson a chance.
I knew quickly that I didn't like the overall tone and sound of the album.
I classify country artists in three categories based on their sound and the themes of their songs: people who have more of a country theme, people who sound more country, and then those who clearly have both. I like to refer to the third group as "pure" country. And I love pure country the most. Alan Jackson has always fallen into that category for me.
I'm a diehard fan of country music. I enjoy many other types of music, but country has always been my favorite. Alan Jackson's pure country sound and theme has always been one of my favorites. "Like Red on a Rose" is a solid letdown from that. It doesn't seem to have any of Alan's usual pure country self. The sound of the album is far from it, and the themes too seem out of the range of usual country songs. To me, the album isn't really country.
I do like artists who explore their sounds, but this seems to be a fruitless exploration. And besides, if you're such a hitmaker as Alan Jackson, pray tell, WHY would you EVER want to change your sound so dramatically? I also don't understand how such a bluegrass wonder as Alison Krauss, while producing on this album, let Alan slide so far from his usual sound.
Apart from the sound that I dislike, the albums songs themselves don't seem to be up to par either. Usually when I listen to an album, a few songs will immediately leap out at me on the first listen-through, and they'll slowly become my favorites. I gave "Like Red on a Rose" FOUR listens, and never once did any of the songs leap out at me. The whole album was one single monotonous, boring blur to both my ears and mind. If you were to ask me now about any of the individual songs on the album, I wouldn't be able to tell you a thing. They were simply that forgettable.
The whole album would be that forgettable if its blatant contrast to Alan's usual sound and quality didn't make it noteworthy. And I honestly wish that the album was forgettable or non-existant.
Alan Jackson Great singer.......2007-05-28
I could listen to this CD over and over and never tire of it!
He always puts out winners and this one is too!
You will not be disappointed!

I love Alan Jackson But this cd was not nearly as good as any of the past ones he has brought out. I was very disappointed with this one. It just did not do anything for me. All the songs sound too much the same.

Where Off the Wall was pretty much straight good times, Thriller introduced dread into Michael Jackson's solo work. By 1995's HIStory, this element curdled into overwhelming self-regard and out-of-touchness, but here it's bracing. While Thriller offers its share of cute ("The Girl Is Mine," a duet with Paul McCartney that was the album's first single; "P.Y.T."), the most memorable cuts remain "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," all of which meld musical imagination and worried-mind lyrics.
There's also the title track, which takes a cue from Parliament's concept pieces in employing Vincent Price to warn that nonfunky forces will "terrorize y'all's neighborhood." Thriller, of course, continues to battle with the Eagles' first greatest-hits package for the title of biggest-selling U.S. long-player ever. Bonus material on this edition includes "Someone in the Dark," from Jackson's E.T. children's album, and a Quincy Jones interview in which the producer cites "My Sharona" as the inspiration for "Beat It"--and, even better, the real-life Billie Jean's claim that Michael was "the father of one of her twins." --Rickey Wright

Not Available in All Areas.......2007-07-05
Someone once told me this is the biggest selling album ever. The song "Thriller" should have ended side 2.
Real Music.......2007-06-16
This isnt just one of the best selling albums ever for nothing. Thriller is just an awesome album. This is what Pop music is really meant to be. The lyrics actually have a true meaning behind them and the beats are really great. The album has aged pretty well too. The voice of Jackson will always be remembered. He is a very talented man and this is his masterpiece. Its sad that most Pop music isnt this good anymore.
25 years later, Thriller remains the album to beat!.......2007-04-26
I was already a fan of Mike and the Jacksons, But when Motown 25 came on in 83, this guy set the standard for what music and performance could be and where it could go. Till this day in my lifetime that one performance at Motown 25 is the single most perfect performance I've ever seen. I remember the next day at school and the next month after that performance we had all kind of talent shows where all of the kids were trying to out moonwalk each other. The saddest and funniest part was watching the less fortunate kids who could not afford the Michael gear wearing tube socks with dress shoes and kids making home made glitter and rhinestone gloves. Hilarious. As an adult, I refuse to let the media and even Michael himself ruin my childhood memories of this untouchable piece of music.

Thriller Chiller.......2007-04-11
Everyone in the world owned a vinyl copy of this album once it hit big. At the time I thought it was a tad over rated and of course you couldn't escape MJ or his videos and Thriller is the opitime of how music was forever changed by MTV - not only did his videos sell the album, they were able to launch a total of 7 singles off of one 9 song album, unheard of at the time. When someone becomes huge and overplayed, I usually lose interest quite fast and instead of the popular songs find myself going towards the lesser known tracks. At the time Thriller broke my favorite song was actually "Wanna Be Startin' Something" but now listening to the song, the lyrics are quite awful but the beat, oh yes that beat is still golden. My copy of Thriller is the awesome remastered special additon with bonus cuts and audio about the songs by producers and arranagers, so it's really quite interesting. But it all boils down to the music itself and I must admit twenty some odd years later I am impressed with the album. I love the singles with equal passion - "Beat It", "Billie Jean", "Human Nature" (my current fav), "PYT", "The Girl Is Mine" with Paul McCartney(which is a song I used to loathe but now isn't quite as bad - though I still cringe when they talk to each other at the end, "oh paul I told you, I'm a lover not a fighter" umm okay Mikey) and the title track which you would think sounds like a dated piece of cheese but amazingly enough it's a very entertaining song. There's still the question as to why this of all the albums released at the time is the best selling album (or close to the best selling album) of all time, but it is a fun piece of music though it's a tad sad to think about what Mr. Jackson has done to himself in recent years. You just have to forget all that and look at the cover of what he used to be and hear the songs. Though once again I question who this damn Billie Jean is, if you recall she shows up in "Wanna Be..." as well. He really had it in for this girl. For the record, I always knew he wasn't the father of her baby, I had no doubt. In fact I have severe doubts he's the father of the kids he dangles off of balconies as well.
Is it just me?.......2007-03-16
Is it just me, or is anyone else somewhat uncomfortable with rewarding and lauding an alleged child-molester. Hey Michael, why don't you move to Southeast Asia or something? Maybe your money will buy you "freedom of action" there.

Country music's infatuation with the puka-shell rock of Jimmy Buffett has been one of the genre's less fortunate indulgences. Most of Nashville's hat acts do little more than dip their toe in the water and do nothing to build upon Buffett's signature sounds. That's why License to Chill, which features a plethora of Music City guests (Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, Clint Black, George Strait, Martina McBride, Toby Keith) along with Bill Withers and Nanci Griffith, seems like a bad idea. But the album, on which the Key West hedonist performs his favorite "bar gig" songs, as he calls them, often delights. As someone who began his songwriting career in Nashville (and who's also recorded more than half his albums there), Buffett isn't just slumming, as his choice of covers (from such writers as Guy Clark, John Hiatt, Hank Williams, and Jerry Garcia) proves. What could have been little more than a lark, then, ends up being a showcase for Buffett the serious songwriter and song finder. Although he does indulge in the occasional beach-minded thong-writing, Chill is a surprisingly satisfying album aimed less at the Parrothead crowd and more toward an audience who remembers the Buffett of 30 years ago, a man who struggled to make his mark among Nashville's most revered tunesmiths. --Alanna Nash

Buffett grabbed me into his crazy little world with this one .......2007-07-01
Jimmy Buffett may be into "chilling out" more these days, but his songs on "Licence to Chill," made in collaboration with numerous talented country artists, indicate a man who is hardly resting on his musical laurels. In fact, this CD not only sparked my interest in Buffett's storied career, but it also endeared me to the genre of country-western music much more. Before this CD, my main connection with Buffett was checking out the Boat Drunks live (see the Drunks' album Wahine Man). Truthfully, I used to regard JB and his followers as little more than binge-drinking mainstream Americans whose idea of good music was what came out of the jukebox at the local Perkins restaurant. I stand corrected, though, thanks to this amazing CD.
A rousing cover of Hank Williams' "Hey Good Lookin' " (recorded with several big-named country artists) was the perfect ditty to lead off this album, but the song's carefree sound and attitude don't fully define "License to Chill." Many of these tunes take the time to reflect on life, aging, love and heartbreak. The title track, however, like the opening song, has all the reflection of a Budweiser commercial. Still, that's OK. Buffett seemed to be making some statements in creating this CD: First off, he's earned his right to chill royally, and second, he wanted to get back to his apparent country roots, which he certainly accomplished in spades.
The more mesmerizing and harmonic tunes from this CD are the slower-paced ones such as "Boats to Build" (with Alan Jackson), "Coast of Carolina," "Anything Anytime Anywhere," "Trip Around the Sun" (with Martina McBride), "Coastal Confessions" and "Sea of Heartbreak" (with George Strait), all beautiful compositions that shocked me into truly respecting Buffett's outlook and musical talent. My personal favorite from this plethora of amazing tunes is "Window on the World," a mid-tempo, down-home country song if there ever was one. On it, Buffett's voice is severely baritone (purposely hungover-sounding?), while his lyrics are candid, philosophical and resigned, but also convey a hint of mischievousness and sparkle for life. A great slide guitar and solid acoustic guitar work also enhance this most tuneful of tunes.
There's some cool, more rugged tracks as well. The confident and self-knowing "Piece of Work" (with Toby Keith), the humorous and true-to-life "Simply Complicated," and "Conky Tonkin" (with Clint Black) would each satisfy the insatiable restlessness of any true country fan. Meanwhile, bona fide Buffett fans will take heart with the album's last two songs, "Scarlet Begonias" and "Back to the Island," which are full of enough lighthearted lyrics and islandlike sounds to make one realize JB would never totally abandon the seaside fluff he's so aptly made a great living at. From slow-dancing prom songs to organic country to a rollicking good time, "License to Chill" is a fantastic piece of work from top to bottom, by a longtime musical artist who managed to erase my condescending scorn and attain my utmost respect with one fell swoop of a CD. In the end, "License to Chill" also accomplishes what it perhaps set out to do: help others enjoy life, despite its bothersome inadequacies and travails.
Escapism via Buffett.......2007-01-31
This is a great albumn to kick back with a frosty beverage and relax. If you've ever experienced a warm salty breeze and sand between your toes it'll bring back a lot of good memories too. Definately a must to take along on any trip to a warm beach somewhere.
A Bit Heavy On The Country For Me.......2006-11-15
Much to the surprise of just about everyone including Jimmy himself, Buffett makes one of the most remarkable commercial comebacks in the last few decades with the release of "License To Chill". The album became a smash hit and sat at the number one spot on the album chart for weeks, and was nominated for a Grammy. The album spawned several huge country singles including a cover of Hank Williams "Hey Good Looking" and "Trip Around The Sun" a duet with Martina McBride. I believe it is his best selling album ever. For this to happen to a performer in his late 50's is truly remarkable. The comeback actually began before the release of this album. Country crooner Alan Jackson asked Buffett to appear on the song "It's 5 O'clock Somewhere" which became a huge smash. Buffett had been mulling over the possibility of doing a pure country album and decided to strike while the iron was hot. "License" is loaded with gust appearances from a who's who list of country music stars. Clint Black, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, George Straight, Martina McBride, Bill Withers and Nancy Griffin all put in an appearance. So the question is.......is the album any good? I guess it depends on your perspective. Not being a huge fan of country music this is far from my favorite Buffett album, but it does have its moments. I tend to like his more traditional non country oriented tracks on this album the best. "Coast Of Carolina" is simply one of the best love songs he has ever written. This song really gets to the heart of his marriage and tells the history of it's ups and downs. I am not usually big on love songs but this one resonates with me for some reason. "Coastal Confessions" is a cool tune. His cover of John Hiatt's "Window On The World" works well. Another highlight for me is the cover of the Grateful Dead's "Scarlet Begonias" which I like better than the original and seems to be another perfect song for Buffett to tackle. The album closer "Back To The Island" is another nice track. Of the country stuff, "License To Chill", "Boats To Build", "Trip Around The Sun" are all good ones. When I saw Buffett in Chicago a few years ago Martina McBride came out and sang "Trip" with Buffett. She has an awesome voice. The rest of the album is ok, country fans probably like it more than I do.
To much country.......2006-11-12
This was just to much country for this parrothead. I liked one song, Piece of Work and that was about it.
Good Buffett duets.......2006-11-04

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. --Alanna Nash

remarkable.......2006-11-02
This is a tremendous album with some terrific songs on it. It truly defines the term "greatest hits album." Some of my favorite songs on it include "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning," "Where I Come From," "Little Man," "The Blues Man," "Little Bitty," and "Right on the Money." I listen to this every chance I get and do not regret buying it. It is one of my favorite CDs. Anyone who is an Alan Jackson fan will love this album. I recommend it. Of all the songs on it "World" is the most important I think.
AWESOME... review by a musician.......2006-10-21
I am not a die hard country fan in the sense that I listen to a variety of music. However, this album is exceptional and ranks among my favorites. Every song on here is a blockbuster and each of them has a great story behind it. The musicianship is excellent and the arrangements are not canned. Alan Jackson comes across as warm, sincere, engaging and definitely in the groove with his band. In my opinion, there is not one song on here that is a filler, although I do like a few songs less than others. I think this CD is the ONE to own, if you can resist buying more. However, Jackson is a real phenomenon and one of the top talents to come on to the country stage. He has the awards to prove it, but this album proves it with sound. Listen to the samples below and you will hear for yourself. His presence on this album comes across strong and through a good stereo even more so. I've listened to this over and over and have never grown tired of the music. Enjoy!

Though Jackson Browne's albums are not plentiful--in a career that stretches 32 years, he's released just over a dozen--they're filled with songs that serve as resilient touchstones for millions who passed through those decades. Originally forging a way for himself as a songwriter, his debut, Saturate Before Using, placed him at the forefront of the southern California rock scene. His contemporaries and compatriots, the Eagles, even took his "Take It Easy" to the top of the charts. Even at his most anthemic, his songs resonate with small details that keep the proceedings human-scaled. The sympathetic accompaniment buoys a voice that's remarkable for its lack of idiosyncrasies. His unmannered singing voice is an essential component in making songs like "These Days," "Fountain of Sorrow," and "Running on Empty" flow with a casual ease that belies the high level of craftsmanship throughout. --David Greenberger
Album Description
Over the past three decades, Jackson Browne has created and voiced many of the most literate and emotionally resonant compositions in popular musicand sold more than 15 million albums, including the seven-times platinum Running On Empty and the #1 Hold Out. This year Browne's artistry is celebrated with his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and with this new retrospective from Rhino. Browne's first-ever double-disc set compiles hits, singles, and choice album cuts from his acclaimed catalog, spotlighting both insightful works of personal introspection and passionately delivered songs of social and political observation. The 2002 recipient of the prestigious John Steinbeck Award (honoring those exemplifying the famed writer's environmental and social ideals), Browne is a mature artist and world citizen whose work shines on this long-awaited collection.
Customer Reviews:
Highly recommended 2CD collection from a great artist........2007-02-25
I bought this album last week and have been playing it in my car and at home. It is brilliant, and represents 30 years of Jackson Browne songs from 1972-2002. I do not know all that much else about Jackson Browne, but the songs here speak more eloquently than any biography you might read. This guy can really write, and his songs are always tuneful with strong messages, emotional truths, excellent use of words, and quite a lot of up-to-the-moment social commentary where he writes about the times we are living in from an American perspective (he's from California originally, I think) . Particularly fine, I think, are his mid-70's songs from albums For Everyman (the title tune has wonderful lyrics) , Late For The Sky ( rated by many as his best-ever studio album) , The Pretender and Running On Empty. I love the lyrics of songs like For A Dancer and Before The Deluge. Running On Empty is an acutely-observed road trip of how you have to try and keep going even when the pace of your life seems to be getting out of your control.The Load-Out/ Stay is a familiar tune that tells all about life as a touring musician. Somebody's Baby was a pop/rock tune I always really liked from the radio back in Grade 7 in 1982, and it's on here too ( previously it was only on a film soundtrack album ), while the satirical Lawyers In Love and the lovely In The Shape Of A Heart were great songs from the 80's. Not all songs are in the tuneful West Coast style of his 70's stuff, but he does not stray too far away from the lyrical style that brought him to prominence back then. Later stuff from the 90's and early 2000's shows that Jackson Browne's songwriting is still as fine as ever, and he is still touring , I believe.
There is a lot to love about this 2CD set and really I can't find anything on here I do not like.
Just one thing - fans of his 1986 duet hit with E Street band saxophonist / vocalist Clarence Clemons : You're A Friend Of Mine should note that this song is not on here. I'm hoping it'll turn up on the next Best Of... in a few years !
Highly recommended 2CD collection from a great artist.
The Must Have Album for Jackson Browne Fans!.......2007-01-16
Includes all Jackson's hits except "Love Needs A Heart", and "That Girl Could Sing".
Lives in the balance?.......2006-12-27
What has happened to the song "Lives in the balance" on this set? If you go to his website it sounds really great!!! On this set it sounds awfull!! It sounds as if he was in a really big hurry to get the song over with. The packaging if you could call it that is really lame. Foam dots for holders? What do you do when those fall off? I suppose you put the cd's in jewel cases or else they will get really scratched up. Not to mention it is missing some of his greatest work! True you do get alot of songs for the money but, there should have been more time planning this set out before actually producing it. If you own an I-pod I suggest you go to apples I-tunes web page and import the great songs this set is missing as well as the others you really like off of this set and you will probably have spent the same amount of money if not less.
Great Anthology Of A Truly Righteous Rocker.......2006-08-21
THE VERY BEST OF JACKSON BROWNE is a great anthology of Browne's best work from throughout his career. Over the course of 32 songs, you can hear him age gracefully from the innocence of the early days through his politically-edged work of the mid-to-late-80s, to the more mature work of his later years. Browne's belief, shared with most rockers of his generation, that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since 2005 on drug-smuggling charges was unjustly convicted makes THE VERY BEST OF JACKSON BROWNE an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.
Too much missing to call it the very best.......2006-05-31
And it's too slanted towards Browne's later work. Save the $$$ on the compilation and just get his CDs. They're all worth it and the album cuts you are missing could be your favorite songs. I especially miss "That Girl could Sing."

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

Alan Jackson is a true country singer who sticks to traditional country songs. This album features many of those songs such as "Midnight in Montgomery," "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow," "Don't Rock the Jukebox," and "Tall Tall Trees." It features a very impressive collection of songs that will go down as some of the greatest ever recorded. I rank this as one of my favorite albums, and I'm glad I got it. AJ is truly a great singer. If you can find this album, get it!
