He is one of these guys that just likes to speak of what his own tastes are...he probably knows nothing about music...have u actually taken the time to listen? A critic is what you are...BILLY RAY happens to be releasing albums to this day....infact he released 2 this year and both charted on BILLBOARD...I am someone that listens to everything from jazz, new age, blues, rock and country AND I am a musician who has an independent record label as well...I know talent when I hear it...BILLY RAY can actually sing and write...THE reason it appears that he only had one hit is because of people like this other reviewer...fickle, shallow americans that don't take the time to actually listen and read between the lines...they let everybody else and THE INDUSTRY decide for them...in other words they jump on the bandwagon!!! As far as this "BEST OF" album is concerned...it's not bad BUT where is TRAIL OF TEARS? AND STORM IN THE HEARTLAND for that matter!!! This is why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars!!!

Billy Ray has done it again and again with his newest albums like The Otherside and Time Flies. If you are looking to get some of his older hits this is a great choice! He is a wonderful singer and song writer. He puts his heart and soul into his music. Sad that more people will not give this very talented singer credit where credit is due! Please check out Southern Rain too!

I bought this CD because it has most of my favorite songs on it from early in Billy Ray's career. "Some Gave All" is probably one of the most patriotic songs I have ever heard by any artist. "Could Have Been Me" a song about a love lost because of the fear of asking the girl out manages to talk about such a sad subject and sound upbeat at the same time. "Words by Heart" is also a great song about how seeing things from the past can bring back old long forgotten memories. I believe Billy Ray was a star that simply burned too hot and faded too fast. I miss him on the country music scene, but this album captures him at his peak in the good ol' days.

excellent cd billy ray cyrus has an excellent voice and I loved every song on this cd
keep up the good work billy ray cyrus

To those who think Billy Ray Cyrus was a one-hit wonder, I recommend that you give this album a listen. It contains several of his big hits ("Some Gave All," "Could've Been Me," "Busy Man," and of course "Achy Breaky Heart") and showcases his talents well. You might be surprised. This is one of my favorite albums. If you like Billy Ray, this is quite possibly the perfect album for you. Truly amazing.

People are under the impression that Billy Ray Cyrus is done making music. Wrong! He still makes albums to this day. He is more well know for his early stuff which is what this CD consists of. All 10 songs were big hits and very familiar favorites. Yes, there is 'Achy Breaky Heart' but there is also 9 other great songs that did not receive as much radio play. This is a great collection of all his early hits and a great sing along CD!!!

In all honesty, now: is there ANYTHING to say about an..."artist" whose one sole "hit" was "Achy Breaky Heart?" How about: FORGOTTEN BUT NOT GONE? Go on back to the carwash, Billy Ray, your fifteen minutes were up some time during the last...millenium.
