| | Percy Sledge Greatest Hits CD Percy Sledge Discography of CDs
As part of the King Greatest Hits series, these nine Percy Sledge tracks provide only an adequate representation of the artist at best. Unfortunately these are re-recorded tracks that should be avoided. If you're looking for the original versions of "When a Man Loves a Woman," "Out of Left Field," and "Take Time to Know Her," pick up The Very Best of Percy Sledge on Rhino, instead. ~ Al Campbell

Hollywood's Greatest Hits: When a Man Loves a Woman has the essential Percy Sledge items -- "When a Man Loves a Woman," "Take Time to Know Her," "It Tears Me Up" -- several of which appear to be re-recorded versions. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Hollywood's Greatest Hits: When a Man Loves a Woman has the essential Percy Sledge items -- "When a Man Loves a Woman," "Take Time to Know Her," "It Tears Me Up" -- but the sound is so muddy, it often sounds like these are re-recorded versions, not the originals. There are far better collections of Sledge's best material available on the market than this budget-priced disc. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Greatest Hits Review

| | Kenny Wayne Shepherd 10 Days Out... Blues From The Backroad CD (2007) With DVD
Greatest Hits CD music
$21.29  
Shepherd's reverence for his musical roots are centerstage on this CD/DVD package featuring the guitarslinger with rhythm section of bassist Tommy Shannon and drumer Chris slayton performing with some of the greatest blues players of our time as well as lesser-known but historically significant bluesmen. Traveling to their hometowns to record everywhere from juke joints to front porches, from New Orleans to Kansas, Shepherd celebrates and becomes part of blues history.
More than a mere live album, this collection of impromptu performances, recorded at both established venues and in kitchens and on front porches throughout the American South, captures a rapidly vanishing generation of bluesmen and women singing and playing with the blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his Double Trouble rhythm section. Featuring well-known artists such as B.B. King and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, as well as lesser-known performers such as Wild Child Butler and Cootie Stark, this combination CD and DVD is both a tribute to and a record of the musicians who influenced Shepherd, and a chance to observe the art form that laid the foundations for much of modern music. Often supported only by Shepherd's acoustic guitar, artists of the caliber of Cootie Stark, whose "Prison Blues" is a highlight, and the pianist Pinetop Perkins, whose "Grindin' Man" is accompanied by Muddy Waters' band, exude a matter-of-fact mastery born ...
| | Eva Cassidy Songbird CD (1998)
Greatest Hits music CDs
$13.45 
This posthumous anthology is the perfect introduction to the astonishing vocal talents of Eva Cassidy, a young, relatively unknown singer who died of cancer at 33, just as her career was beginning to gain steam. Cassidy, a native of Washington D.C., gained local favor with her pure, straightforward tone and her lovely, tasteful interpretations of everything from standards to gospel to contemporary pop.
SONGBIRD is a definitive best-of selection that picks from Cassidy's studio albums and shows the depth and breadth of her skills. SONGBIRD's perfection as a compilation is in its song choice, which covers Cassidy's takes on gospel ("Oh, Had I A Golden Thread"), soul (Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready"), pop (Sting's "Fields of Gold"), and well-known standards ("Over the Rainbow"). Cassidy's own perfection stems from her ability to bring the same precise, inventive phrasing and crystalline tone to each individual song, regardless of genre, making it indelibly her own. This collection became a best-selling number-one album in the U.K., and ...

| | Very Best Of Betty Wright CD (2000)
Greatest Hits CD music
$8.15 
Digitally remastered by Dan Hersch and Bill Inglot (DigiPrep).
This 16-track Rhino collection is a great overview of soul diva Betty Wright's best moments. With a combination of Motown-inspired pop smarts, dashes of light funk, and punchy, horn-driven arrangements a la Stax/Volt, Wright's music is a case study in classic Southern soul, driven home with singing that blends sweet romanticism with sexy swagger. "Clean Up Woman" (from 1971), Wright's highest charting hit, leads off the set. A breezy groove, powered by interlocking guitar and bass lines, anchors the tune, while Wright sings her moral warning (about how quickly ex-boyfriends can be captured by a "clean up woman").
Naturally, the set presents Wright's other notable hits, including the sassy "Let Me Be Your Lovemaker" and the disco-flavored "Where Is the Love" (which won a Grammy in 1975). ...
| | Debbie Davies I Got That Feeling CD (1996)
Greatest Hits music CDs
$13.85
Davies' third album finds this artist moving in a much more "pop" direction, proving that she can both stretch her wings artistically and has far more to offer than merely recycled riffs and motifs filtered through a women's perspective. Her social consciousness raising quickly comes up for air on the opening track, "Howlin' At The Moon," one of only three Davies originals aboard this outing. But her interpretations of gospel pop ballad material like Lenny McDaniel's beautiful "Tired Angels," and duets with Coco Montoya on Albert Collins' title track and Tab Benoit on "Let The Heartaches Begin" are every bit as strong, her vocal skills showing more maturity and assuredness with each album. Her solo work is spot on, always paying homage to a wide variety of stylistic lessons well learned and solidly in the blues ...
