| | Faith Hill Hits CD Faith Hill Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Six albums into her career, Faith Hill already has more than enough hit singles to fill a best-of album, so this 13 track compilation is a fine summation of her career up to 2007. Containing seven number-one country hits, many of which crossed over to the pop charts, HITS is a fine argument for Faith Hill as one of the top country singers of her time. From pop crossover smashes like "This Kiss" and "Breathe" to more traditional country songs like "Mississippi Girl" and "The Way You Love Me," HITS is a solidly entertaining listen. However, for good measure, HITS also adds three live songs--the Janis Joplin standard "Piece of My Heart," "There Will Come A Day," and "Cry"--as well as one solid new single, "Beautiful." Tastefully packaged and intelligently sequenced as well as musically unbeatable, HITS is a textbook example of how to do a mid-career best-of collection, and is far more listenable than the average uninspired cash-in.

Purchase Hits CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Very Best Of John Michael Montgomery CD (2003)
Hits album
 $10.29  
Recorded between 1992 & 2002. Includes liner notes by Robert K. Oermann.
Though he has always essentially been a new traditionalist country singer in the vein of Aaron Tippin and George Strait, John Michael Montgomery found his greatest success with smooth, romantic ballads that recall the work of Glenn Frey as much as that of Merle Haggard. THE VERY BEST OF JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY lives up to its title by including most of the singer's finest and highest-charting singles in both styles, in the process collecting a body of work that virtually defines the "new country" phenomenon. Montgomery has the kind of soothing pipes and perfect phrasing that endear him even to ardent country-haters, and his material has the kind of straight-for-the-gut forthrightness that is sure to attract anyone tired of the irony-drenched hipper-than-thou-isms of contemporary pop. In addition to the hits, the package includes ...
| | Brooks & Dunn Greatest Hits Collection II CD (2004)
Hits CD music
$9.75
There's no denying that Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn ruled the pop/country roost throughout the 1990s, but this second volume of Brooks & Dunn hits shows that the phenomenally successful duo kept chugging along well beyond their early-'90s heyday. It's mainly occupied by tracks from the late '90s and early 2000s, interspersed with a few new bonus cuts to keep the faithful on board. Those who've kept up with the twosome's career will be familiar with the ground covered by the hits, from the old-school barroom weeper "I'll Never Forgive My Heart" to the nostalgic Bob Seger-goes-to-Nashville country-rock title track of the duo's 2003 album, RED DIRT ROAD.
As for the new songs, they run the gamut; the jubilant "That's What It's All About" is full of lustrous production and ...

Tim McGraw was already an established country-pop superstar by the time his first greatest hits collection was released. The albums that followed that compilation, SET THIS CIRCUS DOWN, TIM MCGRAW AND THE DANCEHALL DOCTORS, and LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING, were hugely successful as well, providing plenty of material for a GREATEST HITS VOLUME II.
McGraw's success comes partly from his ability to balance popular song styles such as country-rock ...
| | Martina Mcbride Waking Up Laughing CD (2007)
Hits album
$8.49
Martina McBride is one of the most reliable female performers in country music. Her bright, sunny twang-filled albums have been appearing on the charts since she first arrived on the scene in 1992. On her ninth studio album, WAKING UP LAUGHING, McBride continues to mine a slick, honky-tonk-tinged pop vibe that expertly splits the difference between commercial anthems ("How I Feel") and slightly tougher material ("Cry Cry [Til the Sun Shines]"). With her nearly flawless voice fully intact, McBride also co-produced and wrote several songs on the album--including the smash single "Anyway" and the harrowing, yet oddly sunny-sounding tale of hard times, "Beautiful Again"--making it perhaps the most personal album of her career.
Composer: Jonathan Yudkin.

| | Garth Brooks Ultimate Hits CDs (2007) With DVD
Hits CD music
$12.35  
For a period in the early 1990s, Garth Brooks was not only the biggest star in country music, he was one of the biggest stars in music, period. An unassuming Oklahoman who fused the blue-collar ethic of new traditionalist country with an unapologetic pop side that drew on his love of 1970s rockers like Kiss and Billy Joel, Garth Brooks fundamentally changed the sound of mainstream country ...

By Cafe on the Corner, the members of Sawyer Brown had essentially (i.e., for recording purposes at least) given up on being rock 'n' rollers and revealed themselves to be a pretty decent country band. "Cafe on the Corner" paints a graphic picture of small-town desolation, but these guys are smart enough to avoid preaching: most of the album reflects ...

Hits CD music
$24.89
An institution in their homeland, this self-titled release culls material from Status Quo's 1986 In the Army Now and 1988's Ain't Complaining sets (both of which managed to chart Top Ten in the U.K.). Ostensibly, yet another attempt to crack the U.S. market which had ignored the band since their late-'60s psychedelic classic "Pictures of Matchstick Men," it contains no less than five songs that were U.K. hits, including the number two "You're in the Army Now." It's all workman-like, blues-based rock & roll comparable to Creedence Clearwater Revival (in fact, there's a cover of Fogerty's "Rocking All Over the World"), but given a typical '80s production gloss that runs counter to the band's roots. There's nothing particularly compelling (or likely to attract those outside Status Quo's fan base); nonetheless, tracks like "Everytime I Think of You" and "Ain't Complaining are enjoyable enough workouts, as well as the Dave Edmunds-produced "Rollin' Home." ~ Tom Demalon
Recorded, with perfect timing, just as Status Quo hit their live peak, 1977's double Live album is, contrarily, a timeless reminder of just how much power and excitement was bound up in the band through the mid-'70s -- and on, in fact, into the early '80s. It would be several years before the group turned into the faintly embarrassing cabaret singalong that scarred the latter years of their career, a fact that Live broadcasts via ...

Hits album
$13.15
As the only daughter of Southern parents reared in poverty, BRENDA LINTON became aware at a young age of her mother’s dreams for her – that she would have red hair and would sing and dance like Shirley Temple. Today, although the petite redhead has some great moves on the dance floor, she is best known for a voice so pure and melodic that fans have dubbed her the “CAROLINA NIGHTINGALE.” Born in Washington, North Carolina, Linton says she was raised by “a passel of kind-hearted women, including my mother, grandmother, maternal aunts, and housekeepers who treated me as their own.” Her mother overcame childhood polio to train as a registered nurse and began working at the county hospital when Linton was still an infant. Raised in a Baptist orphanage, her father was a major source of strength and understanding in later life. But in her early years, his work as a master plasterer frequently took him away from home, even to the island of Bermuda. “Part of my dad’s compensation was a month in paradise for my mom and me,” says Linton of the experience, “and I guess my love of the road began there.”The singer/songwriter is taking to the road again to promote her first long-player and indie debut, THE SECRET. The album’s 12 songs reflect a range of genres from her earliest influences of roots and classical music to her coming-of-age with folk and protest songs to more recent affairs with jazz and gospel. Co-produced and mixed by JOHN PLYMALE (SQUIRREL NUT ZIPPERS, CLAIRE HOLLY, CAITLIN CARY), THE SECRET is a showcase of Linton’s talents as a guitarist, pianist, writer, arranger, and producer. Using a combination of live recording and overdubbing, Linton and Plymale supported her emotive singing with lush background vocals and a rich palette of lead instruments, including mandolin, penny whistle, harmonica, fiddle, electric and slide guitar, dobro, and saxophone.The six original tracks on THE SECRET demonstrate Linton’s skill at creating provocative music that touches both heart and mind. BARGAIN LOVE and THE GOOD LIFE provide opposite views of the same phenomenon – how living a borrowed life only alienates us from ourselves and others. The jazzy QUIET LOVE touts the wisdom of finding our own answers rather than relying on popular culture. WARRIORS and STILL IN THIS WORLD are perhaps the most personal songs on the album and movingly express the depth of Linton’s sorrow at losing her mother to breast cancer in 2004 as well as the belief that there is still much to recommend the world - a belief made more poignant by her own triumph over the disease a year earlier. The tune for WARRIORS was written by THOMAS WALSH, a gifted composer and multi-instrumentalist living outside Dublin. “I happened upon his lovely melody, Innisheer, and knew it would be the perfect complement for my lyrics,” says Linton. “When I called him to get permission to use the tune, he was at home with the flu; but he was very gracious and we found we had a lot in common. Music often allows perfect strangers to quickly get down to the important stuff.”Although Linton remembers hearing lots of music during her early childhood, her formal ...
