Great Mandrell Songs - Missing on Other Collections.......2006-11-04

"Wish You Were Here" is one of my all time favorites by Barbara Mandrell. For some reason (probably legal issues) it has not been available on any of the Mandrell "Best Of" recordings. Finally, it (and many other cuts that have not been available) is on this CD. A great collection.

BARB IS THE GRATEST.......2006-06-26

I like barbars singing very much.... i will buy more and more of her's.

Best of Barbara Mandrell??? You're kidding!.......2005-11-23

I love these songs but this is a poor quality cd. The music sounds brassy. It's not rich or mellow. It might be because this in an IMPORT cd. Whatever the cause, the cd itself is terribly disappointing. I'll never buy another import cd again. Find another product to buy. This one will leave you wanting.

A great CD from an Under-acknowledged legend in Country Music.......2005-08-30

Even though Barbara Mandrell retired from Country Music in 1997, her great music legacy is shown on this Greatest Hits CD. The sound is Great and the song selection is quite impressive. I would recommend this CD to any fan of GREAT country music.

Excellent album.......2002-11-30

This is a great collection of Barbara's early hits. Pick this up if you can find it because Barbara Mandrell's music will become harder and harder to find. Every song on this album is top-notch!!!!!!!

Customer Reviews:

This is Shelby Lynne- The Best of the Epic Years.......2006-08-18

I would rate this CD very high. Her cover on "Little Bits and Pieces" is absolutely tops. I have this song by Wayne Newton also and Shelby can sing circles around him on this song. On "If I Could Bottle This Up" her duet with the Great George Jones is simply superb.The other duet she does with Les Taylor "The Very First Lasting Love" is great too. But I can't leave out one of my favorites on the CD and that's "Don't Get Around Much Any More". I simply do not understand anyone who did not like this whole CD. I love her voice and think that the music industry is loco for not recognizing what a great talent she is.

Not a big country fan.......2004-10-23

Seeing Shelby on a TV spot convinced me that I must have some of her music. This album may have her classic background, but is nothing like her current sound which I think is great! This can be skipped by anyone who doesn't really like country sounds. Maybe this is the reason her new album is titled "Identity Crisis" - nothing like her old stuff. Sorry, buy the new but pass on this expensive oldie. (PS, I also like her new hair style better :-)

a must have!.......2003-10-10

culled from the "epic years" this is an absolute gem of material and vocal technique. if you have any of her earlier recording(s) (i had "tough all over") and enjoyed them/it, you will be enthralled by this release. a five star collection!

Don't shun this Shelby retrospective!!!.......2001-04-29

Last year's 'I Am Shelby Lynne' got lots of attention as she twisted and turned once more to establish a winning commercial identity that she, too, was happy with. But maybe she was too chameleon-like on that album. This compilation from her time with Epic in the late 80s/early 90s illustrates what she was unhappy with in Nashville: the accompaniment and arrangements rarely move beyond cliched expectation. BUT the blandness of those serve as a foil for her amazingly expressive voice. The material is excellent, too, which suggests she must have had a big hand in the choice of repertoire. But I come back to the quality of voice - Shelby's most natural voice, I suspect. For me, she's not singing at her best on 'I Am Shelby Lynne' but, ironically, she is here.

Customer Reviews:

about one disc's worth of good stuff.......2006-01-05

It was a great idea putting Rod's early solo stuff alongside Faces on a 2-disc anthology... they just didn't do a very good job selecting the songs. You'd be better off with one of Rod's myriad Mercury compilations and Rhino's terrific _Best of Faces_.

And if the "top 500" reviewer below was as smart as his rating, he'd have realized that most of the bum cuts on here are Rod solo, sans Faces (mainly from the slightly overrated _Never a Dull Moment_ and the god-awful _Smiler_).

Good-time band seek funding for binges and palimony.......2005-08-07

I had forgotten why I never bought any Faces albums when they first came out. The recent death of John Peel gave us repeated opportunities to catch that 'Top of the Pops performance' where he mimed on mandolin to a Faces song. As I saw Rod and Ron playing footy on the TotP stage, the reason came back to me: they were party animals, and I was a prog-rocker.

OK, Rod Stewart wrote some classic songs -- notoriously keeping the best for his solo albums -- but I got the frequent impression that the music was not an end in itself for Rod. It was just a vehicle for money, girls, and stardom.

The Faces did yoo many covers -- do we really need a Faces cover of Hendrix's 'Angel'? I think not. A flimsy rendition of the Stones' 'Street Fighting Man' is redeemed only towards the end when a half-decent instrumental breaks through.

But mostly this is about Rod's ego. Goodness knows what the women saw in him. Personally I don't like his voice either. There are six or seven classics on this compilation, but at this import price, I can only give it three stars.

For the casual fan set on owning just one hits collection that contains the gist of Dylan's best from the '60s through the '90s, the search is over. For those looking to get gems like 'Lay Lady Lay', 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door', 'Like A Rolling Stone', 'Gotta Serve Somebody', 'Blowin' In The Wind' and 'All Along The Watchtower' all on one CD, this import-only release is perfect! To get all of those hits and most of the others on this set, you'd have to buy all three of Columbia's U.S. 'Best Of' compilations (a total of $47). With this retrospective you get the very best of those three overviews --but on one disc & for well less than half the price!

Best of Vol. 1, Six Reviews in One.......2003-10-01

Throughout the years the suits at Columbia, then Sony have tried to make more money of Mr. D by mixing and matching his material, not just in a Greatest Hits compilation, but as a "Best of Import" from Japan, Holland, Sweden, or some other far away place. They tout them as better, different, remastered, a gold version and lots of times they'll build these compilations around a song that hadn't appeared on any other album.

The current favorite is the wonderful song, "Things have changed," which shows up on five different sets available today.

"The Best of series Vol. 1 and Vol. 2" Imports are the only one of the 5 sets that you can get separately and, since they couldn't put "Things Have Changed on both CDs, they put "Shelter From The Storm," from the Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding move "Jerry Maguire" on the first disc. If you were to buy both discs in this set you'd be out over fifty bucks. Of course, there isn't a bad song on the discs, but if you're like me, you already own most of them.

"The Very Best of Vol. 1 & 2" Swedish version has 33 songs on it, all available elsewhere except, of course "Things Have Changed." The songs are about the same as on the other compilations and this one will set you back thirty-three dollars.

"The Ultimate Collection," is of course not the ultimate collection, but it is a collection of 33 songs, very similar in scope to the songs in the other collection and built around, "Things Have Changed." This version will shrink you wallet by thirty-nine dollars.

"The Essential Bob Dylan" double CD set has 30 songs on it and has a nice flow to it. Like the other compilations mentioned here it features "Things Have Changed." You'll have to fork over twenty-one dollars to get this one. It's the most reasonably priced of the bunch, and so it's the only one I'm giving five stars to.

"The Essential Bob Dylan" Import has six more songs on it and it'll cost you 16 more dollars. That's a lot of money to pay to get those extra six songs.

Okay after rounding them up and telling you a little about them, I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed in Sony about this group. Unlike "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2" which like these isn't really a Greatest Hits compilation, these CDs cost a whole gang of money and give us only one new song. "GH 2" gave us a half dozen new tunes, so we (not me, cuz I wasn't born yet) didn't feel ripped off when we bought it. Also, the "Biograph" compilation was stuffed with new songs. Ah well, my recommendation would be to buy the American version of "The Essential Bob Dylan" for twenty-one dollars and shine the rest of them on. Five stars for that one, four for the rest.

What is a true fan?.......2002-10-04

This album cuts right to the heart of the thorny question: "Can you be a true fan of an artist if you are primarily a fan of their greatest hits compilations?" Much as it hurts me to say this, my gut has always told me the answer is "no". Why does it hurt so much to arrive at this answer? First, I absolutely adore Creedence Clearwater Revival's Chronicle Volume I - it has to be one of my top 10 all-time favorite albums. But since I don't love any of CCR's "real" albums, I'm not a true fan of CCR according to my rigid standards for true fandom. It pisses me off to have to admit that. My second reason involves my girlfriend. She is hopelessly devoted to Bob Dylan's imported Best of 1 - I reckon it is her favorite album. And yet, she rarely listens to his other material. I mean, she has several of Dylan's albums, but it is Best of 1 that she returns to time and again. So, according to my standards, she's not a true Dylan fan. Don't get me wrong, she's more than just a casual fan. But a true fan? I fear not. In my opinion and (I suspect) those of several influences from my formative years (Chris S., David F., and Steve M.), a true fan appreciates most of, if not all of, an artist's works. So, I'll keep enjoying my Chronicle and N.G.A. will keep enjoying her Best of 1, but until we develop more complete appreciations of CCR and Dylan, respectively, we simply won't qualify as true fans.

What do I think of Best of 1? That's easy. There are a bunch of amazing songs here and it would be foolish to even consider giving this album less than 5 stars. There's not much I can say about the individual songs that hasn't already been said more eloquently by countless others over the past 30 years. On this one album, you will hear timeless folk music, classic rock, and the roots of "the (alt-country) movement". Heck, Dylan even had a punk attitude long before that genre was born. Simply put, if you don't have any of Dylan's other albums and have at least a passing interest in popular music, this album belongs in your collection.

Bob Dylan: A True Musical genius.......2001-07-30

This treasure has all of Bob Dylan's greatest- Like A Rolling Stone, Don't Think Twice It's Allright, Times They Are A Changin, Mr Tambourine Man, Forever Young, Just Like a Woman, Blowin in the Wind, and the list goes on & on. Would've been complete if it had Tangled Up in Blue. Bob Dylan has an EXCELLENT live show- I saw him at the First Union Spectrum in Philadelphia PA on November 17th 2001- he has a great band- See him if you ever get the chance!
Dylan has had such an influence on many other folk-rock artists out today:
Counting Crows: "I wanna be like Bob Dylan"(Mr Jones)
Hootie & The Blowfish: "Ain't Bobby so cool? I only wanna be with you. Yea I'm tangled up in blue, I only wanna be with you."(Only Wanna Be With You)

LONG LIVE BOB DYLAN!

Essential Dylan.......2000-10-01

Words&Music really capture The Dylan Effect here.He is Witout a Doubt one of The Greatest Minds that the Music World has ever Known or Heard.Blowing in the wind&the times are a changing are classics.Dylan is a True Poet.

Agood mix of the best.......1999-02-01

I will make this short.This is a great album with only a little sag in the middle. But how could it not be, after all, starting off with Blowin in the wind and Mr. Tambourine man.Overall the sound is reflective and powerfull, even at times slightly bitter. All this combines to give that Dylan sound, the real sound which defines his music. A very enjoyable album which I recommend to anyone who likes Bob.

Volume 2 complements Volume 1 perfectly.......2005-02-14

Around the same time that Columbia released "The Essential Bob Dylan" in the US, it also released "The Best of Bob Dylan Volume 2" in most overseas markets, a sequel to Volume 1 which was released in 1997.

"The Best of Bob Dylan Volume 2" (17 tracks, 77 min., plus bonus disk) starts off with the 'excuse' that was needed for the release, namely the excellent (and Oscar-winning) "Things Have Changed" from the "Wonder Boys" soundtrack. After that, the remaining 16 tracks provide a chronological overview of Dylan's best known songs not found on Volume 1, and thus form a perfect complement to Volume 1. The highlights are many, including "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall", "I Want You", "Simple Twist of Faith", "Changing of the Guards" (all of which are missing from "The Essential Bob Dylan"), "Hurricane", "Rainy Day Woman", and so on. The audio quality is superb. So you ask, what more can one expect of a "greatest hits" album? A bonus disk, of course!

The bonus disk (18 min.) provides live tracks of the epic "Highlands" (from "Time Out of Mind"), followed by "Blowing in the Wind". They show Dylan in his element, and I wish there were more official releases of the "Never-Ending Tour".

In all, this is an excellent compilation. Highly recomended!

Best of Vol. 2, Six Reviews in One.......2003-10-01

The current favorite is the wonderful song, "Things have changed," which shows up on five different sets available today.

"The Essential Bob Dylan" Import has six more songs on it and it'll cost you 16 more dollars. That's a lot of money to pay to get those extra six songs.

Customer Reviews:

Caveat Emptor.......2006-08-22

Buyer beware

This may a great CD. However, the CD you'll receive will probably differ from the one depicted here in the track listing.

The cover and title are identical. But I still haven't (as of August 21, 2006) found the CD listed here (with Folsom Prison Blues as the first track). Instead, I have received (on two occasions) received a different CD with "Hey Porter" as the first track

An excellent compilation despite an obvious omission.......2004-09-18

No Johnny Cash compilation can ever include everything but this collection contains all the essentials from the fifties and sixties, his most productive period that yielded classic songs such as Hey porter, I walk the line, Big river, Don't take your guns to town, Five feet high and rising, I still miss someone, Ring of fire, Understand your man, It ain't me babe (with June Carter Cash), Orange blossom special, Jackson (with June Carter Cash) and A boy named Sue. All these songs and many others are included here.

The fifties and sixties take up the whole of the first CD and almost half of the second CD so, inevitably, there isn't a lot of room for his later music. Even so, the omission of A thing called love (a top five pop hit in Britain and also a big hit in America) will surprise some people. Of the seventies songs included here, the best is One piece at a time, an amusing song about assembling a car from stolen car parts.

Another feature of this compilation is the number of guests including Bob Dylan (Girl from the north country), Marty Robbins (Song of the patriot), Waylon Jennings (The night Hank Williams came to town) and U2 (The wanderer). On Highwaymen, Johnny is joined by Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson, who recorded three albums together as the Highwaymen. This name was originally used by a sixties folk group (famous for Michael row the boat ashore) and sometimes causes confusion.

This compilation is based on another double CD (Essential) with four tracks added - So doggone lonesome, Daddy sang bass, Forty shades of green and Man in white.

Despite the omission of A thing called love, this is an excellent collection of Johnny's music.
