Too Much of the same

"No "Georgia Rain"? No "Real Love Woman" No "I Still Love you More" No "you're Where I belong" :(
If Mca regardless of the fact that yearwood has left the label, wanted to move a new collection of Yearwood's sucess at MCA they needed to make it more interesting. I don't see a long life for this collection on the charts."
A Great Disc for Casual Fans

"I don't understand folks who write critical reviews of a greatest-hits collection because it's redundant, or it doesn't contain all their favorite songs by the artist. If you're a big fan of Trisha, as I am, you already have many of her albums. So, why complain about what's not there. Greatest hits are intended for the casual fans of an artist, and for those, there's plenty to like here, including two previously unreleased tracks. Will I buy this record? No, because I'm a fan and I can put together my own compilation. But for anyone who doesn't already own most of these songs, this will be a great buy."
Excellent but yet another greatest hits collection

"This cd gets 4 stars for it is Trisha Yearwood and any music by her is always impeccable with emotive delivery and an awesome range. Problem is this is yet another greatest hits collection and it was not necessary. It does not surpass SONGBOOK even though it is being released many years later. There are some quality cuts here but also some definite misses. Everyone knows now that cds hold 80 minutes of music and when you get a subpar greatest hits collection and it runs only 60 minutes you say - Why didn't use use all the minutes available?
Quality cuts are of course SHE'S IN LOVE WITH THE BOY, THE WOMAN BEFORE ME, WRONG SIDE OF MEMPHIS, THE SONG REMEMBERS WHEN and THERE GORES MY BABY. There are of course the radio hits, some here and some not. Also, we all have our favorites from her albums. But I am sure for everyone some songs here are considered filler. And again, it is very frustrating when there was 20 more minutes to utilize.
Bottom line - if you want all that is Trisha Yearwood buy this cd. I give it 4 stars because it is Trisha yearwood and all her music is quality. But if I were to to rate the collection itself I would give it 3 stars but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
Hope this perspective helps."
