just what i was looking for.......2007-01-20
after looking at numerous sites for this item, amazon was the only site to have it. I love this cd. It is great.
Billy Joe Royal -Greatest Hits.......2006-02-01
I have always loved Billy Joe Royal and anything he sings.I really love this CD it has all my favorite songs on it.
Good Music.......2006-01-30
A good collection of Billy Joe's music with one exception. Where is the duet with Donna Fargo? One of the best country duets of all time "Members Only"!
The Great Come Back Hits.......2005-05-15
Billy Joe Royal's chance at the Great Come Back to Fame was parallel to one of America's great disastors. Royal had just made a great rise in the music charts with "Burned Like A Rocket" when the Challenger disastor made the new hit a morbid reminder. Royal would answer the set-back with "I miss you already" and "Pin a note on your pillow" let his fans know that he was serious in his come back. Old standards like "It keeps right on a hurtin'" were tooled by Royal's unique voice. A true fan will appreciate "old Bridges burn Slow." Royal pulls from the talented song writers of Buddy Buie, Ron Reynolds, and others to make their songs truely "Royal."
The Royal Treatment.......2003-03-03
I first heard Billy Joe Royal's "Down in the Boondocks" when my parents were playing LPs one nigh when I was about six. I was hooked from that moment. I have yet to hear a song from Royal that I haven't liked. He has an extremely unique voice that adds such a deep emotion to every song. I'm sure it has to do with his acute stage fright. He really *is* packing in the intense emotion!
This isone of a few CDs that I can put in and play start to finish and usually plat again. The only thing that could make it better is if the song, 'The Hard Times" was on it. Evidently, that was not a nig hit for Royal at any point. Too bad, as it is my all time favorite of his. I have a nasty habit of falling in love with obscure songs that rarely pop up anywhere. It's my curse, I suppose.

Good artist - bad compilation.......2003-09-27
You may have been to your local music store lately, and noticed several compilations under the name "Super Hits." What are these compilations, you ask?
Budget-priced compilations, WITHOUT the budget price (though some dealers are smart enough to sell them for such a price.)
Each CD in this series has TEN tracks, no more, no less (meaning they don't even come close to filling the eighty minutes you can fit onto a single CD.) And, of course, they omit many key tracks (any other hits compilation by this Royal is MUCH better.) This series is obviously a ploy by the record industry to rake in cash, by making compilations that look better than they really are.
THIS IS BY FAR ROYAL'S WORST HITS COMPILATION! Get a different one, since it will have more tracks. BUT DON'T EVEN BOTHER WITH THIS!
Cherry Hill Park.......2003-07-09
I love this song .. It's one of my favorites

Customer Reviews:
I knew you when.......2005-05-17
I knew you when is the best "breake up" song ever wrote. Tom.
Best collection so far.......2003-03-15
After several years of failed attempts, Billy Joe Royal's unique sound coupled with the songwriting talents of Joe South blasted into the top ten with his signature song, "Down In The Boondocks". While that tune remained his biggest hit, he had several other respectably selling tunes including the follow up to "Down....", the plaintive and underappreciated "I Knew You When". Royal continued to have minor chart success through the later 60's until after parting ways with South, he hit big again in '69 with the quirky "Cherry Hill Park". Staying power eluded him though and it wasn't until 1978 that his revival of the Drifters' "Under The Boardwalk" put him back on the charts, if only briefly, partly due to the fact that his new label folded shortly after "Boardwalk...." started gaining sales momentum. Several more label changes later, Royal finally found a new home in the country music arena and had chart success there but was never again to be seen on the pop charts. This new greatest hits collection from Taragon Records gathers up all his Columbia hits and does it far better than any of the often sonically mediocre compilations that have heretofore appeared. Filling out the generous 23 track count are bubbling under and failed singles along with a few album cuts. The ten-page flopover liner notes booklet provides a musical history, pics and track details to finish up the piece. While including Royal's single non-Columbia hit "Under The Boardwalk" would have made this a more comprehensive collection, for its purpose of anthologizing his Columbia years, it is done in fine style. For anyone seeking Royal's signature pop sides, forget all the rest as this is the best quality choice, bar none.

Royally Well Done!.......2005-08-01
I absolutely love this cd. My most favorite song is "Look What You've Done To My Heart". Anyone who has fallen in love, with the intensity that makes your heart ache, will relate to this beautiful song. Billy Joe has such a distinctive voice.
Royal treatment, standard fare.......1999-08-22
A likeable late-80s country crossover album with few surprises. Often redeemed by Royal's pleasant vocals, the tone of the album seems typical of the decade. One delightful note is the duet with Donna Fargo "Members Only".

Customer Reviews:
DOWN IN THE BOONDOCKS.......2005-09-11
Excellent collection of Billy Joe's "best". The quality of this presentation is 5 star*****!
Relive the late 60's/early 70's Atlanta Sound.......2005-05-15
A lot of these songs, such as "Down in the Boondocks", "Children", were songs wrote by Joe South. Billy Joe was at his early fame of a teenage hearthrob. His unique voice made South's earthy soul songs move to a faster beat.
"Cherry Hill Park" was Billy Joe's rendition of a bawdy/suggestive song of the late 60's. A true signature song for Royal to turn on his young teeny bobber fans.
The only way this album to be better, would be the addition of Billy Joe's later Columbia hits "Greatest Love" and "Story Book Children."
Billy Joe Royal at his early best.......2000-08-06
This CD is a compilation of his 1965 album "Down In The Boondocks" (the first 12 tracks) and his 1969 album "Cherry Hill Park" (tracks 13-23) on one CD with "Hush" and "Heart's Desire" as bonus tracks. The disc does feature all of his major 1960's pop hits such as the title tracks from both albums, I Knew You When and I've Got To Be Somebody. Of course there are omissions but what most people basically want and more is all on this CD making this the definitive colection of Billy's early years, in other words, you don't need the single disc best of's unless you are looking for some of the tracks missing on this CD that are on those CD's, but what you'd want is on this disc anyway. 25 tracks in all with great sound, this is a must buy for all 60's pop/rock fans. The great Joe South wrote and produced much of this music as well which is another reason this CD is worth buying.

A nice collection of rare songs........2004-04-03
This CD only contains 3 songs that were hits by BJR, the other 8 songs I have not yet found anywhere else. If there is a failing in this collection it is the under-production of the material, hence only a 4-star rating. That being said, it is nice to hear BJR interpret Sam Cooke, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, Neil Diamond, etc. Definately a must for BJR collectors.
Songs include: 1.) Cherry Hill Park; 2.) Down In The Boondocks; 3.) I Knew You When; 4.) Bring It On Home; 5.) I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry; 6.) Your Cheatin' Heart; 7.) Luckenbach, Texas; 8.) Solitary Man; 9.) Amanda; 10.) Middle Age Crazy; 11.) Makin' Believe
