"Jody is remembered (if at all) for Queen of the house, a song set to the tune of Roger Miller's King of the road, which provides an excellent opening to this anthology. Although she occasionally had hits with original songs, most of her success was with country versions of pop hits. While this allowed her to make a career in country music, it means that subsequent generations of fans are less likely to concern themselves with her legacy. For that reason, I was surprised but overjoyed when this anthology was released.The best of Jody's exquisite covers to be found here include Look at mine (Petula Clark), He's so fine (Chiffons), Baby I'm yours (Barbara Lewis), Be my baby (Ronettes), To know him is to love him (Teddy bears), House of the rising son (traditional song - Jody's version is based on the famous Animals cover), Natural woman (Aretha Franklin) and Will you love me tomorrow (Shirelles).Among her original songs, my favorite is There's a party going on. What makes this particularly interesting is that Lynn Anderson, whose then-husband Glenn Sutton wrote the song, also recorded it (in her case, on her Listen to a country song album). It is therefore surprising that Jody's version rather than Lynn's was released as a single, but both versions are equally good.Country girl is a title that has been used for several completely different songs, but this one is the same song that appeared on Olivia Newton John's Long live love album, recorded at about the same time. Another original song, Let's go down to the river, is a duet with Johnny Paycheck.It is a miracle that this anthology ever appeared. Jody Miller did not change the course of country music history, but her music is very enjoyable."

"With a career spanning the 60s and 70s and a substantial number of charted country and pop tunes, it's amazing that there's been virtually none of Jody Miller's music in print on CD. Bravo to Renaissance Records, the small indie in Tennessee for bringing this material into the digital age. This collection covers Miller's early pop material for Capital and more of her country-oriented work for Sony in the 70's. While some may berate her early work such as "Queen of the House", as pop trash, her treatment of the song reveals her skill with even less-than-admirable material. While there are 24 tunes here illustrating her ability to seamlessly handle pop, country and standards, there are a few notable omissions. One such missing track is Miller's pop-charting remake of the Springfield's "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" - a strange situation considering all of her other pop-charted tunes are included. The sound quality overall is excellent and all tunes are in stereo, however some tracks are in the "wide mono" sometimes used (for no good cause). The liner notes are a bit of a disappointment in that they consist mainly of ruminations about her personal life and are lacking in her musical history. With nothing else on the market, this piece is an excellent place to get acquainted with Miller's music or, if a previous fan, to get reaquainted with this talented singer."
Jody is one of the best ever singers...country or pop!!!

"I wished many a time for a Jody Miller CD before this one was released, and I was so thankful to get it. I own almost all of her LP vinyl albums and have burned most of the tracks not included here to CD. It is unbelievable that Jody never attained the heights of Martina McBride, Connie Smith, Tammy Wynette, Shania Twain and other gal singers. She is every bit as good or better. I'm a retired professional singer/musician and broadcaster (37 years), and I know music. Jody Miller was as good as they come. She has a true professional singing voice. . .outstanding voice control no matter the range, clarity of lyrics, sings with innermost feeling, innermost infection. And, as if it really mattered, she had the good looks to go with the great voice. She's a sadly overlooked talent. Buy this CD. You'll never regret it!!! -- Norm in Ocala, FL"
OH HOW I WISH COUNTRY MUSIC WAS STILL LIKE THIS!!

"I'll put Jody Miller up against any of the female "bubblegum" singers of what they call country music today. This collection is fabulous and I agree with the reviewers below that Jody Miller should have ascended the heights of country music stardom in the vein of Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton! She certainly was just as good if not better. Her voice is absolutely marvelous. I agree with the reviewer below who said the outstanding cut on this collection is "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow". It is out of this world and I can't stop listening to it!! "Kiss Away" is another outstanding cut! Also worthy of note is "When the New Wears Off of Our Love" and "Look at Mine". Heck, they're all outstanding!! It just makes me wish that Country Music was still like this!!"
