Customer Reviews:
Great but Still Wanted More.......2007-06-27
First, I do not like the cover. But beyond that, the CD is great fun to listen to. John Denver had so many hits, that this doesn't cover all of them by any means, but it is a great CD to take you back to a more peaceful time musically. It makes me want to bring out my guitar and play along.
TRUELY a song's best friend!.......2007-05-28
what else can i say? at 36, and i grew up in a strictly religious household, so i missed him growing up, but i got spots going into public places & whatnot. i remember a vacation while young in the WV woods when one of his most popular songs was on the radio & i memorized it the first time i heard it and sung it to myself time and time again, while walking through the woods or horse back riding- just enjoying nature. he has a way of giving you nature and the beauty of it in a song. God gave us such as one as him so we could stop and remember the beauty of all that is around us all the time.
John Denver definative all time greatest hits.......2007-05-26
This must be the best John Denver of all, it has the lot
All of John Denver's Greatest Hits.......2007-05-23
John Denver passed away in October, 1997 while piloting a small airplane. Before that, he left an indelible mark on the pop music industry. By combining harmonic vocals with a recognizable acoustic sound, John's music still remains popular with fans of all ages.
From the autobiographical "Rocky Mountain High" to the melodic and uplifting "Calypso", this collection contains many of John's most famous songs. Other selections include "Annie"; a song John wrote for his wife, "Take me Home, Country Roads", and "Thank God I'm a Country Boy".
I wasn't a big fan of John Denver before I bought this CD, but I really enjoy listening to his music now. This is the perfect disc for the casual fan, because all of his most popular hits are on it; there's no need to buy several other discs to get them.
I give this great collection my highest recommendation. If you're a major fan or just a casual fan, then this is the CD you'll want to own.

All Time Greatest Hits: Roger Miller.......2007-06-11
Music preview helped sell the product, fast delivery and condition just as described. Great doing business A++
Great Songs, Just As You Remember Them!.......2007-05-30
I remember my father listening to Roger Miller when I was 6 or 7 years old. He had a small reel to reel tape that we took to the beach with us. It was the kind where you had to feed the tape onto the empty reel, and then rewind it when it was done. I know, dinosaur technology, but I have fond memories of those days.
This album of Roger Miller's best songs sound as great today as they did back in the 1960s. I've had "King of the Road" stuck in my head for days, thanks to this album. I also love the aw-shucks sound of "Dang Me", "Chug A Lug" and "Do Wacka Do". My kids loved listening to "You Can't Roller Skate In a Buffalo Herd" until I actually refused to play it again.
Not all Miller's songs are funny or nonsensical, though. He sings about heartbreak and true love in "In the Summertime" and "Little Green Apples". He also does an impressive version of "Me and Bobby McGee".
In all, there are 20 classic Roger Miller songs on this album. There's also a great CD insert telling about Miller's life and his untimely death from throat cancer. I was surprised to read that Miller wrote most of his own songs, and that he was a gifted fiddle player and guitarist. So take a walk down memory lane - anyone who grew up in the 60s will remember these songs! And it's great that his albums can entertain another generation.
Roger Miller.......2007-05-19
This album is better than I remembered. I was not a country western fan in the late 70s and 80s, but I did have a Roger Miller album than used to get into the mix now and then. I remember liking it more than I expected so I ordered a new copy recently and was surprised at how much more I enjoy it now.
Big River.......2007-05-07
Great selection and finally River In The Rain from Big River again available.
Truly a classic!.......2007-01-17
Roger Miller was a talented artist and this CD is a joy to listen to. Yes, a fond trip down memory lane each and every time we hear it. The songs possess a sense of humor and a sensitiviy for the human condition.
We highly recommend this collection of superb timeless music.

Marty Robbins has more greatest-hits compilations than most artists have hits. This 20-cut single-disc collection is one of the better values, with a representative selection that extends from gunfighter balladry such as "El Paso" (his 1959 chart-topper and biggest crossover success) and "Big Iron" to the calypso-tinged "Devil Woman" to his cover of Gordon Lightfoot's folkish "Ribbon of Darkness." Throughout his 30-year recording career, Robbins combined a tremulous tenor with canny commercial instincts, stretching the boundaries of country music while expanding his popular base. He was equally at home with a cowboy song ("Red River Valley"), a gospel tune ("You Gave Me a Mountain"), and a slice of Hawaiian exotica ("Aloha Oe"). Inexplicably, the album features the schmaltzy "Love Is Blue" at the expense of "A White Sport Coat (And a Pink Carnation)," a '50s pop smash that remained one of his biggest hits. --Don McLeese
Customer Reviews:
Marty Robbins All-Time Greatest Hits.......2007-04-15
I have a couple Marty Robbins CDs. This one is my favorite. Really enjoy the collection of songs. Would recommend this CD without hesitation.
Maraty Robbins Greatest Hits.......2007-01-10
Received it timely...good stuff...but not what I was looking for for his greatest hits. I still enjoyed it.
Great Gift.......2007-01-09
I bought this as a gift for my parents and they love it.
Reincarnated Cowboy.......2006-03-20
Marty Robbins believed he was a reincarnated cowboy. Many of his songs came from dreams. All 20 of these wonderful songs take you to another place and time and tell delicious stories of love and adventure. Wonderful places to go - especially if you're a true Marty Robbins fan.
Mixed Emotions.......2004-11-30
You can take any given number of Marty Robbins songs and call them his greatest hits as the man had talent and versatility to spare. Certainly most of the songs on this package are exceptional but there are so many left out. "A White Sport Coat (And a Pink Carnation)", perhaps his greatest crossover hit is missing in favor of Hank Williams, Sr.'s "Kaw-Liga" (done to death) and the so-so "Maria (If I Could"). And the hit doesn't even appear on the follow-up album of "more greatest hits". What were they thinking? Early hits "I Couldn't Keep From Crying" and "The Story of My Life" are not here. And on it goes. You will probably enjoy most or all of the songs herein but if you can find it, it's better to go for "The Essential Marty Robbins 1951-1982" that covers some hokey early recordings before he hit his stride plus the ones named, other certified HITS and songs that were only mild hits or not hits at all but are a lot more rewarding to listen to than the less-than-blockbuster filler found here. Shop around before you buy.

Red Sovine 20 All Time Greatest Hits.......2007-03-08
I bought this to introduce my kids to someone I listened to as a child. They do enjoy some of the songs, for instance "Teddy Bear" and "Daddy's Girl". It brings back some nice memories for me. My dad liked listening to Red Sovine, I feel like I am back to being a little girl at times when I listen. Very good CD.
Excellent Collection.......2007-02-11
This CD is an excellent collection of Red Sovine's hits. Well worth the price for anyone interested in the genre of music.
Absolutely Wonderful.......2006-07-28
All the best Sovine on one disc. All I hoped for and more.
"Puppy's Girl".......2006-04-17
This song will always bring tears to my eyes. I grew up listing to this music with my grandfather I used to change the words in the son to puppy's girl instead of daddy's girl because that's what he would call me. I wish there were more of the singer/songwriters out like there used to be such as Red Sovine, Hank Wiliams, Charlie Pride etc. There music will never die.
Problems With the Title!.......2006-03-11
Woodrow Wilson ("Red') Sovine, from Charleston, WV had 13 chart hits from 1955-1976. (There were 2 gaps/ dry spells in that span). The only problem is that only 6 of the 13 appear on this compilation! Given those facts, it is difficult to understand how an album of his "20 Greatest Hits" can be produced. Among the actual chart tracks that appear here, this reviewer liked "I Didn't Jump the Fence" (1967) and "It'll Come Back" (1974). 2 nice tracks that failed to hit the charts are "18 Wheels Hummin' Home Sweet Home" and "Daddy's Girl". The latter featured the same child's voice as in "It'll Come Back". Red tries his hand at "Old Rivers" and "I Know Your' Married but I Love You Still" but those were done better by Walter Brennan and Bill Anderson/Jan Howard. The bottom line is that this compilation is unsatisfactory. Why not produce a straight compilation of those 13 hits? This very album contains releases from 3 record labels. How difficult can permissions be? This is the perfect example of why shoppers need to be suspicious of "Greatest Hits" or "The Best Of" titles. This reviewer actually likes Red but one has to call reviews as he sees them, not as he wishes they could be.

Pop has a good time eating itself on this collection of Doctor Demento favorites. The tunes on this stylistically varied double CD send up a plethora of pop culture phenomena. The perpetrators come from every imaginable entertainment background. Pro wrestlers, folk singers, comedians, actors, garage bands--you never know who's liable to produce a novelty song. Here it doesn't matter if a respected composer or a one-hit wonder recorded the ditty; all sorts of tracks jostle each other on this funny collection. The material covers quite a time span, ranging from Spike Jones's "Der Fuehrer's Face," released in 1942, to "Wappin'," an unreleased track by Darrell Hammond and Christopher Snell which was a hit on Demento's radio show at the tail end of the 1980s. The 20th Anniversary Collection is quite an assortment of the corny, goofy, wacky, and wild. --Fred Cisterna
Customer Reviews:
Why Does Music Have To Be So Seroius?.......2007-06-27
This album is just plain fun. It's great to have a nice collection of novelty songs to sprinkle in during a party or when making compilation discs for long drives or just and evening of fun with some friends.
Dr. Demento's collection surely won't be one of those precious "desert island" albums, those must have albums one would never be caught without, but in the context of a complete collection, it's good to have a few laughs here and there.
You'd really have to be a baby-boomer to appreciate the full context of this album as many are from the before the 1970's, still have some fun, why not?
Lots of fun.......2007-06-27
My son suggested this as a birthday gift to his older sister, from him to her - I think I've listened to it more than either of them.
Perfect.......2007-05-19
I've been looking for some of these songs for a loooong time. Not only do I get to relive my adolescence, but I'm able to introduce my daughter (who shares my sense of humor) to some of my old favorites (G rated, of course)
A "Must-Have" For Dr. Demento Lovers.......2007-04-20
Unbeknownst to my conservative mother, my brother and I (born in the late 60's) listened to a wonderful radio program called "Dr. Demento" growing up. I told my mother about that recently, and her remark was that if she had known it was on the radio, she wouldn't have let us listen to it! LOL Anyhow, this collection has the vast majority of MY old favorites, such as the otherwise unavailable "Existential Blues", and many others unfamiliar to me to enjoy. It comes in two CD's of 18 songs each. I have happily imported it into my iPod and can't wait to hear everything!
The funniest CDs ever!.......2007-03-08
I used to have this CD collection back in college, and something recently reminded me of a song and I knew exactly where to buy it. I am very pleased with this collection of songs.

Blue-eyed R&B Country.......2005-12-14
Eddie Rabbitt made quite a career out of singing songs that fit comfortably on both AC and Country stations. Hits like "Gone Too Far" and "I Love A Rainy Night" were played on both and received with much enthusiasm. To my knowledge, Rabbitt was never considered a sell out. Perhaps this is because he consistently churned out songs like "Suspicions" that fit perfectly on AC radio and then turned around and made Country greats like "Drivin' My Life Away" and "Rocky Mountain Music." With Rabbitt, unlike most modern "Country" acts, I believe his intentions were never to be pigeon-holed into one genre of music. He was comfortable singing both Soft Rock and Country music and never seemed intent on becoming one of those forced "Pop" Country stars like so many today. He didn't wear a cowboy hat and tight T-shirts, never sang about drivin' his Chevy down to the lake for a late-night romance with his John Deere queen, and he was never a poser. He was Eddie Rabbitt, no more, no less.
This particular disc of greatest hits is well worth the price. My personal favorite, and probably my all-time favorite tune by Rabbitt, is "Two Dollars In The Jukebox." Though it lacks many of his hits like "Just You And I," "Step By Step," and "Every Which Way But Loose," you can get all of those and more on "Eddie Rabbitt-Greatest Hits" which is almost always coupled with this disc by Amazon in the "Better Together" listing. In fact, the cost of both of these discs together is still cheaper than buying some other, lesser artists greatest hits single disc collections.
I definitely suggest buying this album and the aforementioned "Greatest Hits" disc together if you enjoy Eddie Rabbitt. Fans of artists such as Doug Stone, Conway Twitty, and 80's R&B country will be sure to enjoy this album also.
Eddie Rabbit..........2005-12-05
Thanks to radio stations like KiQQ and Kiis in Los Angeles in the early 80's, I received exposure to Pop Country tunes like Drivin' my life away and Suspicions. I grew to like the music of Eddie Rabbitt over the years and finally scored with this "All Time Greatest Hits" CD. I realize that there are other hit songs missing from this collection, but for the price, you just can't beat it! Good music, good price, good artist! Four stars!
Well done .......2005-09-09
Thoroughly enjoyed this collection. Thanks Amazon for helping me find an affordable Eddie Rabbitt collection that is also hard to find in the smaller community that I live in.
Great collection but very incomplete.......2005-05-17
Eddie's passing was a great loss to all his fans and now we don't have anyone who can really fill his shoes. He has such a sweet voice and his tunes have been some of the most memorable Country Pop songs ever.
However, this collection is strangely missing some very good songs e.g. "Room at the top of the stairs", "You and I" and "You don't love me anymore" which are jewels not to be left out.
Unfortunately there is no one CD with all his good songs in it and one has to buy a few of his so-called "Greatest Hits" albums to enjoy all his great songs. Is this some kind of a marketing ploy or what?
Anyway, I am still waiting for one really good Eddie Rabbitt compilation and hopefully Rhino Music will oblige soon. The good songs in this album are the remarkable "Suspicions" and "I can't help myself". You will be swept off your feet with his laid-back country&western&pop songs done in his inimitable style.
Time to reminisce with Eddie.
Sorry... next?.......2004-12-01
Missing in action: Every Which Way But Loose (yes, from the movie), Step By Step, Someone Could Lose A Heart Tonight, You And I (with Crystal Gayle).
Add what "is" on this disc: Suspicions, Drivin' My Life Away, I Love A Rainy Night... and it could be an awesome piece of work... (thumbs down!)
By the way, as I write this, Mr. Rabbitt celebrated his 60th birthday (11-27-44).
Thank you for the music...

Ray Stevens - Greatest Comic Hits.......2005-08-11
I enjoyed this CD very much. Ray is a very funny fellow.
I have also seen and enjoyed his video of the same name.
Ray's first for CURB.......2003-02-05
this was the first CD that was released on Ray from CURB Records, the label he joined after he left MCA after five huge years (1984-1989). this CD spotlights 10 comedy songs with the album cover shot looking like a promo for one of the songs, "It's Me Again, Margaret". all in all, this CD went GOLD primarily because of the last track: "Bridget the Midget", a 1970 satire on go-go dancers that hit #50 pop and #2 in England. in the CD age, "Bridget the Midget" was new to collector's. for fans who joined the Ray Stevens bandwagon in 1984 at the height of "Mississippi Squirrel", hearing older songs were a rare treat. this is the CD in which introduced me to "Bridget..." and it made me hunger for more of his older songs because the way i saw it, if a song of his is this great and i've never heard of it talked about before, i wonder how many OTHER great songs are hidden on his albums that critics or reporters don't talk about? i played my hunch and as of 2/5/03 i have everything he's recorded since 1967 on vinyl or cassette format.this 1990 CD is only necessary for new fans. CURB shrewdly compiled six comedy songs off 1987's "GREATEST HITS", added three from 1987's "GREATEST HITS, VOL. TWO", and they end it with 1970's "Bridget the Midget" not found on any CD compilation at the time as an added feature. prior to it's arrival on CD format, you had to go all the way back to a 1977 vinyl compilation entitled "THE MANY SIDES OF RAY STEVENS" to even find "Bridget the Midget" on an album! the song was THAT rare! since 1990, other CD's on Ray have greatly dwarfed this CD's importance but it's still worth checking out for those who want to complete your collection.
great songs.......2000-06-22

darbys castle.......2007-05-28
this is the song in my mind that was one of kris kristoffersons best the story he tells people can relate to no matter what decade or era.people always seem to forget what is important in life .i like to listen to this song when i get caught up in life.
A performer central in folksong tradition.......2007-01-09
Kris Kristofferson is a central pillar in the american folksong tradition. In his deep, fulltoning voice he sings his meaningful texts in a way to creep into your heart. I find his performances ideal, whether I drive tru long nights, or I caress my woman in front of the fireplace. They are songs to be glad to listen to, even if the text may be earnest enough.
Good compilation from a great songwriter.......2006-11-07
If you are a Kris Kristofferson fan, you will enjoy this collection of Kris singing his many hits, ost of which were covered by other singers.
Purchased in preparation for attending a live concert.......2006-07-19
This CD was a terrific, comprehensive review of Kris's most famous songs. It turned out to be far better then the live concert I attended. Our aging performers may drive us to this option more and more.
Ageless classics by a classic artist .......2006-06-04
If singer-songwriter-actor Kris Kristofferson has been underrated as a singer, he's been compensated as a master lyricist with words that resonate, and some of the tracks on this 18-disc CD serve up ample justification. In this compilation, though, Kristofferson sings his own songs that were a springboard to gold status for other singers. Among them: the Janis Joplin-ID'd but Kristofferson-penned "Me and Bobby McGee;" "Help Me Make It Through The Night," a million-seller for the late Sammi Smith; "For the Good Times," a comeback hit for Ray Price; and "Nobody Wins," a song of love that has died and its injured left with nothing but the challenge to move on (and never performed with such stirring feeling than by Lynn Anderson). Along with those, Kristofferson unleashes the song that garnered him his first public acknowledgement as a writer, "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down," first performed (and probably never since topped) by the late Johnny Cash, and another of his own mega-hits, "Why Me." As a performer, Kristofferson may never have been afforded his appropriate due - and that's unfortunate. As a writer, though, there's little room to argue that he deservantly is revered as one of his industry's most gifted artists. And having his voice behind his powerful words makes this CD a worthy buy and listen, and it begs the question how its author can feel so much. Kristofferson, truly an amazing and powerfully moving force.

One of Ernie Ford's greatest.......2007-01-10
This was a Great album on records and an outstanding job was performed in the "CD"conversion. In my opinion, Ernie Ford was one of the finest Gospel Singers of the twentieth century.
great listening.......2005-09-21
This CD was all that I expected and hoped it would be. It has the wonderful acapella gospel songs that Ernie finished his shows with,great listening.

A "MUST" have for Tillotson fans !!!!!.......2007-01-03
This CD is a must-have for anyone that is a true Johnny Tillotson fan. It has all of his greatest hits and is a wonderful tribute to his career and talent.
i thought i'd never see this album again.......2006-11-08
to, johnny tillotson is one of the best in oldies but goodies. i love this cd very very much.he sure knows how to sing from the heart and real feelings. to me, there will never be another johnny tillotson. i think i might have to order another one pretty soon, because i just about have this cd worn out.i'l never get tired of this cd.i'm no teenager anymore, i'm 58 years old, but when i play his cd i feel like a teenage in love all over again. so as long as i have johnnys' songs near me, i'll never grow old.
Johnny Tillotson - 25 All-Time Greatest Hits.......2005-09-13
Great selections put together on one CD; easy to listen to and fun to enjoy.
One of my favorite CDs.......2004-02-02
As a collector of 50s and 60s compilation CDs, I have to say that this is without a doubt one of my favorites. First and foremost, it's all ORIGINAL recordings unlike so many other artists whose recording are remakes of their originals. You can't listen to this CD without feeling nostalgic and remembering your teens. If you are an oldies lover, you should definitely add this one to your collection. I listen to it over and over again. I especially love the way he does "Why Do I Love You So" and "Without You".
"Keeps Right On A'Singin'".......2004-01-09
This collection of 25 all-time hits of Johnny Tillotson is worth the price of the cd many many times over. The cd rarely leaves my cd player. His songs and vocal presentation are not mere 'nostalgia' of 'oldies memories'. These are "classic" and living recordings that sound as great todayy as when Johnny first laid them down in the late fifties and early sixties. This cd makes it clear wh he is still performing and pleasing audiences today.
"True True Happiness" a track on this collection could have easily been used as the "title" of this collection. Listening to it will leave you feeling truly happy.
"Poetry In Motion", probably one of his best known songs is on here. As is "It Keeps Right On A'Hurtin'" and "Talk Back Trembling Lips". A little different from his style is "Cling To Me", but every bit still "Johnny Tillotson"!
I love this album and if you get a copy, I'm sure and certain that you will treasure it as well. Thanks Johnny Tillotson for all these really great songs and recordings. You are a great artist and performer, and this cd collection captures that in sound.
