| | Big & Rich Greatest Hits CD Big & Rich Discography of CDs
(1 Customer Review)
In 2004, the duo of songwriter "Big" Kenny Alphin and Lonestar ex-pat John Rich burst onto the country scene with a raucous bar-and-brew, rock-oriented brand of honky tonk. Their debut HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR went triple-platinum and spawned a memorable hit with the borderline-novelty "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)." They proved durable when sophomore record returned them to radio with a number one country smash in ballad "Lost in the Moment." The duo have fun with the greatest hits format, throwing in fan-favorite album tracks like "Rollin' (The Ballad of Big & Rich)" in with all the hits, and presenting a new song in the soulfully melancholy "The Man I Am Right Now." Big & Rich first hit the charts a mere five years before they released their Greatest Hits in 2009, but their presence was so pervasive it seems like they've been around twice as long. Part of the reason for this is that they wrote and produced for a huge number of artists, sometimes giving their best music to other singers, and the result of this is that Greatest Hits plays a bit patchier than you might imagine, with the earliest hits and songs -- "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)," "Wild West Show," "Holy Water," the barroom brag "Kick My Ass" -- holding up better than the power ballads and goofiness of their second two albums. Although anybody who wants to really hear Big & Rich at their best should probably stick with their debut, Horse of a Different Color, those who want just the hits will find them all here. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Big & Rich first hit the charts a mere five years before they released their Greatest Hits in 2009, but their presence was so pervasive it seems like they've been around twice as long.

Greatest Hits
$15.65 Big & Rich: John Rich , Big Kenny .

Ruling over the country music scene like no songwriting and production team has in decades, Big and Rich return with their third album as artists, the concept record BETWEEN RAISING HELL AND AMAZING GRACE. Much as the title implies, the album is divided into two halves, the first focusing on the duo's own brand of devotional music. This doesn't mean the usual gospel standards, but a series of heartfelt ballads that touch on both spiritual and earthly themes. The album's second half, starting with the two-part "Radio" ...

| | Trace Adkins American Man Greatest Hits CD (2007)
Greatest Hits
$15.65 The second greatest-hits compilation by Nashville superstar Trace Adkins showcases the singer's persona as a sly update of the 1970s outlaw country troubadour. Playful hits such as "Ladies Love Country Boys" and the hip-hop-influenced "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" (a novelty hit playing off a then-current term of appreciation for the female derriere popularized by the comedian Tracy Morgan) sit comfortably next to more traditional country material such as "Chrome" and "American Man." After the complete crash-through success of Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, a second Greatest Hits volume by Trace Adkins was a shoe-in. When was always a question, but on the tail of the release of his first book, Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Free-Thinking Roughneck, which was issued on November 13, 2007, it became necessary -- evidence for this is that his eighth studio album, "American Man," was temporarily shelved to release this second greatest hits with three new tracks, including the single "I've ...
| | Brooks & Dunn #1's... And Then Some CDs (2009)
Greatest Hits
$12.39 Liner Note Author: Judy Forde-Blair. Photographer: Russ Harrington. Three weeks before the release of this double-disc best-of-and-then-some collection, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn, who as Brooks & Dunn were one of the most successful duos in country music history, decided to call it a day after 19 years, 40 singles (half of which topped the country charts), ten studio albums, and a slew of awards. As far as the industry was concerned, they went out on top. #1s... AND THEN SOME contains 30 tracks spread over two discs and includes two new songs. Disc One opens with Ronnie Dunn and Terry McBride's barroom/stadium rock killer "Honky Tonk Stomp," which features special guest guitar blazer Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, and Disc Two opens with the pair's own "Indian Summer," a midtempo ballad that's as fine a summation of their collective career as listeners are likely to get. Dozens of familiar cuts are here, from B & D's first smash "Boot Scootin' Boogie" to the gorgeous cover of B.W. Stevenson's "My Maria" plus a slew of other hits and B-side--including "Cowgirls Don't Cry" and ...
