 (2 Customer Reviews)
Urban has long been one of the few contemporary Nashville country stars whose taste for old-fashioned rock seems genuine, as proven by many of the earlier hits found here. Highlights include the sly "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me" and the wistful "Where the Blacktop Ends." GREATEST HITS was also released in a special limited-edition version that includes a bonus DVD of live tracks and music videos.
. 2007 compilation from the Australian Country superstar packed with proven hits. Features two newly recorded tracks, a remake of Steve Forbert's 1979 hit, 'Romeo's Tune' and a new full band recording of 'Got It Right This Time (The Celebration)'. Greatest Hits is the highly-anticipated album from the Grammy award winner and three year reigning CMA Male Vocalist of the Year. Keith has sold more than 10-million units worldwide, climbed country radio charts with seven #1 singles and eight Top Fives, and continues to reach fans on his international tour.
Released following a string of personal problems that landed the formerly clean-cut Australian cowboy on the pages of gossip magazines the world over, GREATEST HITS was a chance for Keith Urban to sweep the decks and start fresh. This 18-track anthology contains all Urban's hit singles and a pair of new songs, a full-band remake of the previously solo tune "Got It Right This Time (The Celebration)," and a swell banjo-powered cover of Steve Forbert's late-1970s soft-rock masterpiece, "Romeo's Tune."
Personnel: Keith Urban (electric guitar, slide guitar, piano, Fender Rhodes piano, background vocals); Dann Huff (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, background vocals); Tom Bukovac (electric guitar); Steve Nathan (piano, Hammond b-3 organ); Charles Judge (keyboards); Jimmie Lee Sloas (bass guitar); Chris McHugh (drums); Jerry Flowers, Perry Coleman (background vocals).

Greatest Hits Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Keith: You Rock
I've been a huge fan since "Golden Road"...this greatest hits package is terrific from the first to the last song. Unlike many GH albums, there's no "throwaways" here...every song is top-notch. It's an outstanding reprise of his career. It clearly shows his versatility, musicianship, and uncanny ability to go from a rollicking tune to the softest, most sensitive ballads. If you don't own any of his albums, definitely buy this one. And, while you're at it, check out his DVD "Livin' Right Now". It'll give you a good sense of what he's like in person...he rocks!

18 Kids is a beautiful work of art 8 years in the making.
The album kicks off with a casual cover of Steve Forbert's Romeo's Tune. This extremely catchy rhythm features a piano, one of the many instruments Urban can play. The second track is a remake of one of the songs off of his Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing album, Got It Right This Time (The Celebration). This is my personal favorite on the entire album. He took this simple song and transformed it into just what the title indicates, a celebration. It starts out with just a keyboard, a drum machine, and vocals. Then electric guitar, percussion, and background vocals for harmony eventually join in. As each part comes in and adds to the song, it gradually builds up leading to a huge explosion of melody. The joy and happiness that this song is about is portrayed perfectly through the music, making it an instant hit and one of the best tracks on the album.
The next 16 tracks are a nice mix of billboard chart toppers. The entire album touches on a wide range of emotions. Listen to mind blowing guitar solos as in Stupid Boy, the soothing sound of solo piano in Tonight I Wanna Cry, a Celtic sounding I Told You So, the love ballad Making Memories Of Us, country-rock themes such as Days Go By, Somebody Like You, and Better Life, progressive rolling upbeat numbers such as Where The Blacktop Ends and Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me, and more!
As if this wasn't reason enough to love this album, the album case itself is quite a treat. The insert booklet is full of colorful photos of Keith, including all the covers of his albums and a few from his adolescence while the back of the booklet includes a personal message from him. Instead of the usual jewel case, the CD comes in a paper board cover that folds open to reveal some amazing photos of the entertainer taken from his latest tour. The paper board is at least 30% recycled material to help preserve the environment!
Overall, this album is superb! The lyrics of these songs are so simple yet they strike so deeply with many people. The passion that Keith Urban puts into his music really shows.

| | Very Best Of Randy Travis CD (2004)
Greatest Hits CD music
$11.49  
Randy Travis emerged in the 1980s at the forefront of country's New Traditionalist movement, with a sound that recalled classic country balladeers George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Lefty Frizzell. His pure, honest approach to heart-wrenching saloon songs resonated with country audiences in a major way, making him a star. This 20-song collection is a single-disc distillation of Travis's long, fruitful career, and is the perfect place to start exploring his work.
While there are some up-tempo honky-tonk numbers here, it's the slow-burn ballad that is Travis's stock in trade, and there's no shortage of those. From the tormented would-be philanderer of "On the Other Hand" (his first big hit) to the jilted lover of the heartbroken lament "It's Just a Matter of Time," Travis inhabits every song completely, with a voice deeper than anything this side of Tennessee Ernie ...

The Short Stories and Tall Tales CD garnered high praise from critics in various media including Jam Magazine, which gave the effort 4 of 5 stars. Rick is currently working on two more CDs which should be out within the next two years. A special thanks on this CD to Bob Baker who worked tirelessly as a producer, musician, and friend.Grandpa You're My Hero - I never knew my grandfather, he passed when my mother was 6 years old. What I know of him is from stories passed down to me by mom and other family members. My mother has his rocking chair, which I have always loved to sit in and there's a picture on the wall with him and his big bushy mustache. I wrote this song while trying to imagine him, what he was like, and what my life would have been like had I known him, heard his voice, and seen the kindness that was evident in the picture that hangs on the wall looking out at me for so many years.Watch Eagles Fly - There is a freedom in watching the flight of the eagle as it soars effortlessly through a clear blue sky, tilting its wings left and right to catch the breath of wind reaching out like the hand of God to support, sustain, and guide.Bitter Wine - This is an introspective song about the sadness which many times accompanies love. It is not meant as a cure, complaint, ...
