Upon the release of GREATEST HITS VOL. 2, Michigan's answer to Bruce Springsteen had receded into the Boss' considerably large shadow, thanks to a self-imposed hiatus that found him recording only two studio albums in the 1990s. Despite the seemingly short attention span of the pop music world, this particular collection presents a fine argument that may reinforce Bob Seger's stature in the eyes of non-die-hard fans that only know him from regular rotation on classic rock radio.
This compilation dips into Seger's periodic soundtrack contributions ranging from TEACHERS' piano-driven "Understanding" and the soaring MOR Martina McBride duet "Chances Are" from HOPE FLOATS to "Shakedown," the rocker's only chart-topper from BEVERLY HILLS COP II. The collection also scratches the surface of Seger's influences, particularly when he goes back to 1981 and 1974, with covers of Rodney Crowell's countrified lament "Shame on the Moon" and Tom Waits' barfly anthem "New Coat of Paint," respectively. This Detroit native also tips a hat to his harder-rocking side by tossing classics like the salacious "The Fire Down Below," the howling "Her Strut," and "Tomorrow," a song written for this album that boasts a stomping tempo and Joan Osborne-like harmonies.

Greatest Hits Vol. 2 Music Review Average Rating: (3.8 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Good -- a few new songs too.
If you are a Bob Seger fan who once collected his original albums (those round black vinyl things), you will enjoy the selections on this album. If you are just a "Greatest Hits" collector, I strongly recommend you get his GH Vol. 1 CD first. There are definitely a few tunes on here that you have never heard before!

Good CD
Includes the hard to find "Shame On The Moon", one of his better songs, in my opinion

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No GH 1 was the 5-star comp for Bob, but this is good
Since it's awfully hard to compile one disc of this legend's career and call it Bob Seger's only hits album, it's wholeheartedly safe to say this second compilation is welcome. This is solid, and I have to say the box set can't be far behind.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great Compilation from a Classic Rock Icon
This album is a great addition to Seger's first greatest hits album. It covers a lot of the lesser known Seger songs like "Fire Lake" and "New Coat of Paint." It would have been nice if they would have included the live recording of "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" from Live Bullet on here, and also I would have liked to have seen "Miami" appear on the track listing, but what it's got is good and it's still more than worthy of five stars. And what's with John from Muskegon? "If you buy this then you are a no-brainer just like his music"? Just because you don't like Seger's music doesn't mean to have to insult everybody who does. Somebody hug that guy...

There were 200-plus entries in the competition for this year's Lo-Budget Love Music Competition: 2006 Winners, The World Music Compilation. The ten finalists are here, and there's a reason it's called the World Music Compilation, as many musical traditions enter into the musics made by the contestants and the winners. Most of what's here is simply wonderful, but there are some standouts, particularly the burning Latin, funk and rock of Santa Mamba, the Brazilian hip-hop slingers Grupopala, Khaled Habib with his jazz/rai fusion, and the softly exotic femme quintet Cody Navarro. ~ Thom Jurek
The artists on this compilation CD include:Ruth Van der Marck-Koenders -She has been writing music for many years in a language that’s spoken only in Suriname (Sranan Tongo).

Her song "Boni doro," which tells the story of a slave who fled to freedom and raised an army with other maroons to fight off the Dutch slavemasters won the prestigious Suripop ...
