Tim McGraw's second greatest-hits collection in six years is also his ninth consecutive debut at #1 on the Billboard country charts. That means he must be doing something right. But what, precisely, aside from keeping up his hunk factor, and maturing his voice? Well--choosing dynamic songs that resonate at the very core of most folks' emotional center, for starters. So it's no surprise that this 16-song package kicks off with "Live Like You Were Dying," his ten-week #1 crossover hit. In addition to chart-toppers dating from 1995 ("Not a Moment Too Soon"), McGraw fills the track list with two smashes that never appeared on his own albums: his Grammy-winning duet with wife Faith Hill, "Like We Never Loved At All," and "Over and Over," the soulful Nelly confession in which McGraw, his voice technically altered, essentially serves as the rapper's tortured psyche. Of the four new songs, a cover of Ryan Adams's "When the Stars Go Blue" emerges as a stellar example of the pained loner ballads McGraw does so well, and brings to mind the faint desperation inherent in his interpretation of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer." And "My Little Girl," one of two rare McGraw co-writes here (joining "I've Got Friends Who Do"), draws on his experience as a parent and promises to flatten any father who's ever tucked in his daughter. Through the years, McGraw's on-record persona has evolved from the wimpish underdog ("Don't Take the Girl") to the strong, sensitive alpha male, both in his take-charge delivery and his sometimes edgy repertoire ("Red Ragtop"). All in all, this lengthy, hooky offering isn't just a "value pack" for McGraw fans--it's reason to hire a skywriter. --Alanna Nash

Album Description

Tim McGraw Reflected: Hits Vol 2, his second collection of greatest hits. Showcasing a body of work bookended by 1994's "Not A Moment Too Soon" and 2006's "My Old Friend," it is a reminder of the consistency and depth that have made him such an icon. Several of the songs are drawn from two albums he recorded in a mountaintop retreat with his touring band, 2002's Tim McGraw & the Dancehall Doctors, and 2004's Live Like You Were Dying. Together, they sold seven million copies, and between them they produced hits like "Watch The Wind Blow By," "Red Ragtop," "She's My Kind of Rain," "Real Good Man," and the ten-week #1, "Live Like You Were Dying," all of which are included here. The project also includes "Everywhere," from the CD of the same name, and "Grown Men Don't Cry" and "The Cowboy In Me," from 2001's "Set This Circus Down."

4 out of 5 stars good music.......2007-05-14

My daughter is getting married and wanted a song from this cd to use I was delighted that I liked the other music just as well

1 out of 5 stars Butchery.......2007-04-06

A decent collection overall of his "good" songs (I don't really like him anyways), but he completely manages to butcher "When the Stars Go Blue." The original is WAY better, and The Corrs covered it with Andrea and Bono (from U2) MUCH better. The country twang just totally kills the mood of the song. I am a professional audio engineer, and heard him do this song live and it just made me cringe. Skip this CD.

2 out of 5 stars not the best.......2007-03-28

Not Tim's best work. I only liked 1 of the tracks. Spend your money on his most recent albums. I don't think these were his greatest hits.

5 out of 5 stars Great songs on this CD.......2007-03-26

I love this entire CD. This one is worth it. Sometimes I have bought a CD for 1 or 2 songs. This one is full of great songs.

1 out of 5 stars He's Horrible.......2007-03-04

McGraw is a pretentious, talentless slimeball who exploits the ignorance and poor taste of his fans. His songs are mediocre at best and generally unlistenable to anyone who appreciates good music. Basically, he is a talentless slob who ranks among all the other bubble-gum pop/country performers as forgettable and pretentious.

And if that wasn't enough, he absolutely butchers Ryan Adams' beautiful song "When The Stars Go Blue." It's tough to hear McGraw hack such a lovely song, but at least Adams (who is one of the better singer/songwriters around in any genre) is making some money for it.

If you like good music or real artists, you should look elsewhere - perhaps check out Ryan Adam's original version of "When The Stars Go Blue". Regardless, McGraw is a classless act and a mockery to the country music establishment.

This time selected and programmed by the man himself, the two-disc second installment in Dylan's Greatest Hits series comes off as much more idiosyncratic than its brother, famed songs ("Lay Lady Lay," "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall") notwithstanding. An even richer cut-by-cut listen than the earlier best-of, this 1971 set masterfully casts the classics into new light and adds previously non-LP singles (the smashing "Watching the River Flow," with the Amazon.com fave line "People disagreein' just about everywhere you look / Makes you wanna stop and read a book; let's have lunch, Bob"), a then-unheard live 1963 "Tomorrow Is a Long Time," and new, stunning, off-the-cuff takes of "I Shall Be Released," "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere," and "Down in the Flood." --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Should have been on a single disc.......2007-04-08

Only complaint I have is this should have been on 1 disc. Disc 1 is 36 minutes flat & disc 2 is 42:23. All 21 tracks could have easily fit on one space-saving 78 minute disc. Only way to justify this being on 2 discs would be to include at least 1 bonus track, which Columbia has done on some other artists' reissues. Other labels have reissued 2 LP sets on 1 CD, such as Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland, The Who's Tommy & Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, so they should have done that with this album.

5 out of 5 stars Dylan Fans.......2007-02-22

Bob Dylan is always at his best, but this time he may be more on top than usual. The music is fresh, concise, and delivered with enthusiasm. It reminds me of a time when the music and the story were the most important issues.

5 out of 5 stars Staying Alive with Bob .......2007-01-04

My husband gave away our old stereo equipment, including the Thorens record changer. What is a girl to do? I bought my favorite tunes from Amazon! Can't live without Bob. I got his 2006 album as well. Yah! Good!

5 out of 5 stars The Best Dylan Hits Collection.......2006-11-04

The first Dylan hits collection has all the famous stuff from the mid-Sixties: Blowing in the Wing, Mr. Tambourine Man, Like a Rolling Stone, The Times They Are A-Changin' etc. Those songs are indispensable to any rock collection.

But I think I like volume two better. This collection has twice as many songs as the first hits album, and the songs are mesmerizingly beautiful and skillfully written.

Another reason why I like this collection better than volume one is because the songs on volume one have been played to death on the radio. I love the melodious pop folk sounds of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, "My Back Pages," and "I Shall Be Released."

I also like the hard rocking "Maggie's Farm," the soft rocking "All Along the Watchtower," the country melody of "If Not For You,' aw heck, I like them all.

It should also go without saying that every single Dylan album from the 1960s is absolutely 5 star material, and some of his later albums are vastly unappreciated (Slow Train Coming, Infidels).

I highly recommend Greatest Hits Volume two as a great place to experience the diverse and beautiful sounds of Bob Dylan.

5 out of 5 stars a really great collection.......2006-08-29

the funniest thing ,i think, about this album is that it came out in the 90s.his 1st greatest hits album came out in 73.that was supposed to cover 73 and back.this new one sgould have picked up in 74 and went till its realease.however all the songs are oldies from the 60s,hinting maybe the 70s and 80s werent nearly as good.anyhow,theres "dont think twice its alright"-catchy."lay lady lay"-a beautiful love song."stuck inside mobile with the memphis blues again"-upbeat and catchy."ill be your baby tonight"-a sort of love dovey song abour a one night stand.only dylan!!!!!!!!!!"all i really want to do"-lyrical genius!"my back pages" is a song about reversing the aging process."maggies farm" is the dylan equivelant of "take this job and shove it!"."tonight ill be staying here with you" is good just like all the rest.ok disc 1 is down .now disc 2."she belongs to me" still sounds fine."all along the watchtower" is classic!then theres "mighty quinn the eskimo"-wtf???????????and "just like tom thumb blues".i guess they canr all be winners.then "a hard rain is gonna fall" a jim morrison like song but full of love like john lennon."if not for you"is singable."its all over now baby blue" is very pretty.then a few extras for space i think.this album kicks butt!

This second collection of hits features a hardening of sorts for these laid back southern California rockers. The emphasis shifts away from the lazy, rolling rhythms of the first collection to the tighter and harder-edged material contained herein. Part of the blame may be the inclusion of James Gang veteran Joe Walsh who adds noticeable lead guitar work and galvanizes Don Henley and Glenn Frey into taking greater chances. "Hotel California" is the obvious potboiler, but "Heartache Tonight," "Life in the Fast Lane," and "The Long Run" are close runners-up. Timothy B. Schmit's vocals on "I Can't Tell You Why" return the band full circle to their mellow, country-rock roots. --Rob O'Connor

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars good album.......2007-07-05

"Seven Bridges Road" is my favorite Eagles song, yet I never had a copy of it. I had a few copies of the early Eagles albums on vinyl and later on cassette, but this was the first Eagles CD I added to my collection. I purchased this CD mainly because I couldn't find any other way to get a copy of "Seven Bridges Road". I listen to the whole album often. Turns out, I like the later day Eagles hits even more now than when they were on the radio all the time.

2 out of 5 stars Not so great !.......2007-04-18

I am not a fan of the band, I have listen to this cd a couple of time and I am not very pleased with it. There is just a couple of good tracks, not enough for me to keep this cd. I will use it as a gift for somebody who will listen to it, because I won't if I keep it.

5 out of 5 stars The title says it all!.......2006-12-18

As I said in my review for the first compilation,this album can afford to be out of print now that there's the surpassing THE VERY BEST OF THE EAGLES. There are ten chart-risers on this set(on hit parade between 1976 and '80) like the first set has. SEVEN BRIDGES ROAD is a live track derived from a 1980 concert(the band was still promoting THE LONG RUN). It could have used PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS which many radio stations played every Christmas season since 1978. HOTEL CALIFORNIA tracks include the title track,NEW KID IN TOWN,LIFE IN THE FAST LANE and VICTIM OF LOVE. Tracks from TLR are the title track,I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY and HEARTACHE TONIGHT(co-written by Bob Seger,a longtime friend of the band's lead guitarist/vocalist Glenn Frey's and drummer/vocalist Don Henley's). This set was released in 1982 when Frey and Henley were just experiencing success as solo artists(the Eagles disbanded the previous year). Frey put out NO FUN ALOUD on the MCA label and Henley remained with Asylum putting out I CAN'T STAND STILL. Henley signed with Geffen thereafter and still records on that label today.

4 out of 5 stars Greatest Hits not as great as they could be..........2006-10-14

First off, I love the Eagles. If you're just getting into the Eagles, I think this and the first Greatest Hits are a good way to start. However, for people like myself, who know the band in and out, this isn't so 'great'. "After the Thrill is Gone" shouldn't be on here. The addition of "Those Shoes" would have been much better. I am also not fond of the inclusion of "Seven Bridges Road". I know they play the song at a lot of their shows, but it's not their song. I think "Wasted Time" would have been a great choice. Sadly though, the two Greatest Hits CDs have been rendered almost-useless by the 2003 The Very Best Of. This is still worth the money.

4 out of 5 stars The hits, take two........2005-10-10

Obviously this goes well with the previous hits collection, but Volume 2 stands on its own also. It's just another ten songs that everybody knows well. The biggie here of course is "Hotel California", but tracks like "Seven Bridges Road" and "Life In The Fast Lane" are classics too. Again, they're all great. I miss many songs from this era, specifically "In The City", but a ten track album was typical for the time this was released. Now that we have the 33 track "Very Best Of The Eagles" this isn't so essential, but it's still a sweet 45 minutes.

Amazon.com essential recording

As the late 1980s gradually segued into the early 1990s, the choices of material and the production values Reba McEntire brought to her recordings often seemed to be guided as much by right-brained market savvy as by true left-brain inspiration. This "hits" compilation skims the cream of her commercial achievements during this prolific period in her career. Though there are only 10 tracks, these include landmark No. 1 singles like "You Lie," "Fancy," "Is There Life out There," and "Does He Love You," a heartfelt duet with Linda Davis. --Bob Allen

3 out of 5 stars Reba McEntire Greatest Hits Vol. 2.......2007-05-20

This cd is very good. All Reba songs on this album are not what expected to hear there even better.

4 out of 5 stars Cool tracks, expansive style........2007-03-27

During this time period Reba started to stretch out in new directions and this CD captures it well. The Amazon review makes it seem a bit like Reba was "selling out" by trying new musical styles, but I think she believed in what she was doing, gang, and that's reflected by her choice of a song off this CD--Fancy--to sing at her CMT Giants: REBA special. Sincere smackdowns to Dixie Chicks fan The Expert for using an earlier review of this CD to launch a massive mound of misguided moronities at one of the most decent and gracious performers to ever grace the stage. The Chicks tried the clever liberal marginalization trick right after the 2007 Gore-Chick Grammies when one of them said, "We don't want fans who put us in their CD player along with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith." I have news for the Chicks: no one has ever thought of them as being in the same major league as the other two or ever will. They're being used as part of the ongoing news & entertainment media (NEM) FU to George W. Bush, and when his term ends so will the relentless, sickening free PR campaign the Chicks have enjoyed on MSN.com and a myriad of other media outlets ever since they verbally spit on the president in London. Thus a career ballooned out of proportion by media hot air will come crashing back to earth where it belongs, next to other media-smoke-and-mirrors "stars" like Marilyn Manson and Sinead O'Connor.

5 out of 5 stars Love Reba!.......2007-03-20

I'm not a huge country fan but Reba McEntire is great! She's an amazing musician! This album has a great collection of songs on it! My favorites are "You Lie," "For My Broken Heart," and "Is There Life Out There." Super album...highly recommended!!

5 out of 5 stars One of the best..........2007-02-12

The below reviewer who said Reba took a shot at "real musicians" is crazy!
Reba is AMAZING. I don't bash the Dixie Chicks, I own one album- but I would hardly even put them in the same category as reba. She is a legend in an over produced music industry. Listen to her VOICE. She is amazing and sings with passion. How could you even say she belongs in a convienience store behind the counter? She clearly belongs in the music industry. She knows real country and she knows how to rock an audience. Stupid review.

5 out of 5 stars A True Hits Package.......2006-09-15

While many of today's country (and for that matter, every other genre) performers crank out "Hits" packages with one or two number one tunes, Reba McEntire put out this disc with a slim ten tunes. With that said, however, all ten of these songs are legitimate hits. From "Rumor Has It" to "You Lie," McEntire does well with the song selection here.

What you get is a small sampling of ten of Reba's best tunes. Many of today's artists struggle to find enough "hits" to compile a hits package, but Reba has been around long enough to simply pull a few tunes from her catalogue and make a solid hits album worthy of purchase. She's in a small group of artists who can do such things. Other names in that list would include George Jones, Willie Nelson, George Strait, Merle Haggard, Alabama, and Dolly Parton. That's good company folks.

My personal favorite on this disc is "Fancy." The entire disc gives the listener a chance to listen to McEntire when she was beginning to loosen her country bindings and feel out other styles of music from blues to broadway. McEntire is savvy, and doesn't need to resort to controversy or pandering to prove just how great of an artist she is.

Purchase this album if you want some great country and pop country tunes. Long before Faith and Tim were considered a "dynamic duo" and the Dixie Chicks were singing Western swing at birthday parties, McEntire was establishing herself as one of the greatest female performers in country music. Also of note is the fact that she made her mark when the country genre was dominated by men.

Highly recommended.

Anyone who is still clueless about what a great singer Ronnie Dunn is need only grab this second greatest-hits package from Brooks & Dunn, a 17-song compilation that skims the commercial high points from the duo's 1998-2004 period. Dunn, the quintessential balladeer, soars on honky-tonk laments and reminiscences like "Red Dirt Road" and "How Long Gone," and on full-throated romantic plaints like "That's What She Gets for Loving Me" and "It's Getting Better All the Time." His sidekick, the underrated guitarist, utility singer, and all-around dynamo Kix Brooks, also gets his moment to shine on a marvelous '60s-style, 18-wheeler ditty called "Independent Trucker," one of three new cuts included here. --Bob Allen

It's amazing to think they have more than enough for another greatest hits compilation! Full of originals that will always be greatest hits.

2 out of 5 stars something missing .......2007-02-16

Ok, you see two stars up there and you start thinking to yourself "what

could possibly be wrong with this album" Well, there is something wrong

with this album. If you do not believe me then look it up for yourself.

This does have great songs on here and all of their hits to mention that.

But I just noticed something, and I have had this album for a year or

two. There is three songs that is not on here that was hits on the radio.

They might not have been big hits, but they did get air play. (missing

you) from their "tight rope" album (you'll always be loved by me) from

their "tight rope" album and (I am that man) from the "boarderline" album.

5 out of 5 stars Brooks And Dunn - always Great!.......2007-01-09

I love this cd and all the songs on it! There is a great variety of their style music for all to enjoy. I would be hardpressed to find a favorite! I have other cd's of theirs and they are all good - including the Christmas cd. If you are a fan of theirs you will really enjoy this cd!

4 out of 5 stars impressive/holds its own.......2006-11-04

While this collection doesn't quite hold up to the duo's first greatest hits compilation, it is still good. Hits like "How Long Gone," "The Long Goodbye," and "South of Santa Fe" are good choices for this album, which pretty much holds its own. If you are a fan of Brooks & Dunn, odds are you will like this album. The duo is still good after all these years, and I hope whey will continue for many more.

5 out of 5 stars Great collection and service........2005-09-06

I was very pleased with the cd and the prompt service I received.

I just received this CD and gave it a few listens. This is a very good record. Good tunes, maybe even better than vol. 1, save for "Let your love flow". Tight harmonies, unique style. A record to sing along and lift your spirits. Short (10 tunes) but inexpensive and great sounding because re-mastered. Love "Feelin the feelin' " and "More of you". Sing along and be happy !

Clint Black eventually lost the head-to-head race with Garth Brooks to be the new-country king of the '90s. But this impressive 16-song collection of hits and near-misses culled from Black's half-dozen studio albums and padded with four fair-to-middlin' new songs makes you wonder if the world wouldn't have been better off if Black had won that race. These tracks (all of them written or cowritten by Black and many also produced by him) remind us that in the decade and a half or so since he first hit the charts, he's been a far more adventurous songwriter and stylist than Brooks has ever been. That said, there's a fair amount of chaff mixed with the wheat herein. Many of the newer songs--like "When I Said I Do" (a hit duet with his wife, actress Lisa Hartman), "Little Pearl" (Black's sentimental ode to his new baby daughter), and the cliché-ridden "Money or Love"--tend to drown in either mawkish sentimentality or Black's irritating lyric verbosity. But masterful tracks like "Been There" (a fine duet with Steve Wariner), the swingy "One More Payment," the soulful "(The Lights Are On) Nobody's Home," and an impressive blues version of his 1990 hit "Put Yourself in My Shoes" (featuring a full horn arrangement) remind us how very good Black can be when he's hitting on all cylinders. --Bob Allen

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars outstanding.......2006-11-04

I was a little disappointed when Clint left some of his songs off his first Greatest Hits album, but was elated when he included them on this great album. I think he is a terrific singer. I have also met him, and he was awesome in person and performance too. "Nobody's Home," "Walkin' Away," "Nothing's News," and "One more Payment" are some of the outstanding songs on this equally outstanding album. If you enjoy Clint's music, you will not be disappointed by this album. I have never regretted buying it.

3 out of 5 stars A voice of contradiction.......2005-04-15

The review provided by Amazon states that Clint Black lost the race to Garth Brooks as the dominant male country singer of the 90's. But as we all know, in the music industry, true success is a marathon, not a sprint. Garth may have dominated for a few years, but he burned out and went into semi-retirment while Clint keeps plugging along.

The reviews also tend to say that the duets bog down this CD. I prefer the duets. Especially those with wife Lisa Hartman Black. I have been a fan of hers since the short-lived TV show "Tabitha" back in the 70's. When she became a regular on "Knots Landing" in the 80's, I loved it when she would sing on the show. I don't know why her recording career never took off, but I love both of her duets with Clint. In fact, it is mainly because of those 2 duets (plus the duet with Martina McBride) that I bought this CD. The duets between Clint and Lisa and their accompanying videos mean even more because they are a real couple and they truly mean the words they are saying. These are not like some "super star" duets where the 2 people on the record never even met and the vocals were recorded at different times and then mixed together in the studio. This is 2 people who are truly in love.

Anyway, I recommend this CD for those duets. I only give it 3 stars because the other songs are good, but not my favorites. I really and truly only LOVE those 3 duets.

1 out of 5 stars The song, 'Been There'!!!!! AAAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!!.......2004-09-28

I really hate the song, 'Been There'. I have horrendous memories of sitting on the schoolbus while our bus driver played this song at full blast, and even after many years of not having ridden on that godforsaken bus, that terrible song has never quite left my mind. It is absolutely the worst song I ever heard in my entire life and whoever likes it should get their head checked. Seriously! I'd listen to NSYNC before I would ever listen to this horrible song, and I despise boybands! I hope that song's no longer on the air, because it really, really, really sucks. And, unfortunately, the fact that it can get stuck in your head just might drive you insane.

Avoid.

3 out of 5 stars Some good songs.......2003-02-12

If you want the best of Clint, buy Killin' Time. Its really the only Clint Black that is essential, even though several other CDs of his are very good. The first Greatest Hits cd is good but left off several number one hits in order to justify a second greatest hits cd. And this is it. No suprise, the "A" material here is from Killin' Time (songs that should have been on the first greatest hits cd) and a few good ones from Tailights. The rest is average. The duets, as with most country male-female duets, are focused more on sappy lyrics than good music. This is a good cd but far from his best.

4 out of 5 stars More Of The Best Of Black!.......2002-04-14

I have always thought that Clint Black was above a lot of other country artists that he has been lumped with over the years,or of any artist to come out of the genre in years. He has a real country twangish voice, strong lyrics, and very melodic songs. His first greatest hits was a magnificent album. Perfect in every way. This one is almost as perfect, but not quite. This new set includes three hits from his first album "Killin' Time" in 1989 that were omitted from his first greatest hits set. Here you get "Walkin' Away", "Nobody's Home", and "Nothings News". All great traditional country classics. The rest is a mix of real country songs and some of Clint's more rocking/pop songs that he has done in the last few years. His most recent duets with wife Lisa Hartman Black on "When I Said I Do", and good friend Steve Wariner on the great "Been There", are here. Also included is his pretty duet with Martina McBride called "Still Holding On". Two of my favorites, "Nothin' But The Tailights" and "The Shoes Your Wearing" are included as well. The reason this set isn't as great as the first is that some of these songs are pretty light. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but they don't hold up for very long like some others. The three new songs here are a mixed bunch. Clint tries to do another duet with his wife on the anemic and bland "Easy For Me To Say". The magic that made their first duet a pretty song is entirely missing on this one. "Money Or Love" is a fun rockin' toe tapper in the way that only Clint can do it. Many reviewers say this song is as cliched as they come. So?. It has words, it has a beat, he sings, it does it's job. End of story. The last new song is a song for his new baby called "Little Pearl". It is, of course, a fantastic song.... I hate it when people get irritated when an artist writes something sweet and special for a loved one. Isn't doing that one of the best things about writing a song?. The song is gorgeous and sweet with adorable lyrics. Clint is a brilliant lyricist. He's an incredible musician and performer. There is no one else like him. Sure, Mr. Black has strayed a little from his roots, but who cares?. It's all about the music. He's just doing what he does best and we can't thank him enough for it. Looking forward to more great music from this man in black.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

George Strait - Greatest Hits, vol. 2 is country music at it's best. Any cd from George is amazing, but with hits like: "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind", "The Chair", and "Ocean Front Property" this cd is sure to please any George Strait fan. It is a must have for your collection.

5 out of 5 stars 10-Song Essential.......2004-10-08

With "50 Number Ones" out for sale, it's hard to argue a better economical and jam-packed value, but there's no disputing the best 10-song collection belongs to Greatest Hits Vol. 2. George remains the most consistent country artist within the last 40 yrs (I would argue the most consistent in COUNTRY MUSIC HISTORY), and the proof lies in GH Vol 2. For those who remember cassettes (much less 8-tracks, a couple of George's I own), nothing quenched the thirst of country traditionalists in the 1980's like this album. My father and I took many a road trip from Texas to Montana (a one-way 3-day trip) to the tune of GH Vol 2. Absolutely, positively, the soundtrack of my life.

5 out of 5 stars George Strait #1.......2002-12-14

As far as I'm concerned, he is the BEST. I have all his cassetts and C.D.s so wherever I am I can hear him sing. George has stayed true to the REAL COUNTRY music. Not only is he a great singer but he is a wonderful human being and true to himself.

5 out of 5 stars george strait at his best.......2002-10-11

this cd brings back alot of memories with 10 classic hits by george strait like "nobody in there right mind wouldv'e left her","ocean front property" and "all my ex's live in texas" if you like classic george then pick this cd up.

5 out of 5 stars The BEST of George Strait.......2002-05-10

After years of shunning country, this was the first CD that made me fall back in love with it. Since then, I have embraced other artists such as Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, and Brooks& Dunn. Among many others! A # 1 CLASSIC album that opens doors and keeps memories alive. Real down-home country that also is not too "twangy". I recommend it for fans of George and also budding country fans that like the 'roots of country' but not too much cry in the beer stuff. GREATEST HITS # 1 also is a perfect collection. He still ranks as one of the best, so anything he comes out with is GREAT, but this is a BESTBUY!!!!
