![John Anderson - Greatest Hits [BNA]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/410PW2FPJPL._SL160_.jpg)
Prodcut Description: [More Information ...] In the late 1980s, John Anderson found himself in the awkward position of seeing the country charts dominated by the new traditionalism, and yet he couldn't buy a hit. Anderson refused to give in, however, and he signed with the fifth company of his career, a brand new label called BNA, and threw the dice one more time. His gratifyingly successful years there have been summed up on Greatest Hits. As good as the songs are, what really makes these hits great is the combination of Anderson's rich, pure-country, baritone drawl, and the pumping swamp rhythms he adds to all his uptempo numbers. Only a handful of country stars could round 15 songs from 1992-96 as impressive as these. Unfortunately, BNA includes his remake of "Swingin'," which sounds busy and less focused than the Warner Bros. original. --Geoffrey Himes

Reviews:
Sooo good! I love John Anderson's voice and this cd has all of the songs I love!! This is a great source if you are looking for some of the songs from the last decade or so that you didn't originally buy! Good stuff! It is fun to dance to! :) Still Not Enough, but will do for now This is a fine greatest hits of Anderson.
However, this set is nearly 20 yrs old and he
is long overdue for a more comprehensive
career spanning anthology.
What is here is great : Wild and Blue, Swingin,
I'm just an old chunk of coal, and would
you catch a falling star- among many.
John is long overdue- one
of the more signifficant artist of the later 70's
early 80's. Got to love John Anderson It's got Black Sheep and Wild and Blue. The only thing that's missing is Chicken Truck. Doesn't begin to cover all of John's great songs... This is a very nice collection, but how long do we have to wait for someone to put out a truly comprehensive anthology of John's work? This is simply 'a few' of John's great hits. This guy is a pure country traditionalist, one of the very best ever, along the lines of Jones and Haggard...even the 'Anthology' double CD is lacking...I have been listening to John since his first vinyl release with his great hit, 'She Just Started Liking Cheatin' Songs' from 1980! It will take at least 2 CDs, maybe 3, to truly do John Anderson credit. In the meantime, this CD, the Antholgy CD and one or two other Greatest hits CDs will have to suffice.
C'mon folks, how about someone putting together the real thing, a full compilation of great music from at least 5 different labels? It can be done, and John Anderson deserves it!
This one gives you a wonderful 'taste' of John's talent, but it leaves out at least half of his career thus far!
In my opinion you wouild do better with a copy, new or used, of the 'Anthology' CD, and as noted, that too leaves much to be desired. Let's hope that someone gets it right soon... John Anderson-Greatest Hits Some albums have one or two songs that are appealing. This one is great all the way through. I particularly wanted the song Seminole Wind, but I found I enjoyed many of the others almost as much. |
