Dan Seals first achieved fame in the seventies as one half of England Dan and John Ford Coley. You may remember them for I'd really love to see you tonight. Eventually, Dan and John went their separate ways. Dan switched to country music and was very successful for a few years. This collection contains his most successful songs, many of them being number one hits on the country charts. Although Dan's music had a contemporary edge, it was rooted in tradition so most fans of traditional country should be able to appreciate it.

Among the many excellent songs here, the best of all is Meet me on Montana, an outstanding duet with Marie Osmond. If you have made up your mind about Marie based on her seventies pop music, you are in for the same surprise that I got. Before I came across this song, I ignored Marie's music. When I first heard this duet in the eighties, I was blown away and I have since bought some of Marie's country albums.

Most of the songs here are ballads but Bop (as the title suggests) is one to get your toes tapping. Three-time loser (despite its title) is another brilliant up-tempo song. The remaining songs are all excellent though my favorites among them are God must be a cowboy, Everything that glitters and One friend.

If you enjoy eighties country music, you'll love this album.

Wow! This album is terrific! I always did like Dan Seals's songs "Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold", "One Friend", and "Three Time Loser". I remember listening to them when I was a child. Those were my three favorite songs on the album, but the whole album was fantastic! He sings with feeling and you can tell that it's from the heart and that he really means the words he's singing. He can sing sad songs about losing love and romance ("Three Time Loser", "Everything That Glitters"), he can sing about his memories of his first car ("My Old Yellow Car"), and he can sing upbeat songs about wanting to dance all night ("Bop"). I highly recommend this album if you are a country music fan. This is country music the way it was meant to be sung. You won't regret buying this album!

I have this cassette and play it often. I had to have the CD. These songs are some of the most relaxing listening. I live in the west but work on the east coast. Listening to these songs takes me home and makes time away seem shorter. Thank you, Dan, for this wonderful collection!

This CD has great Dan Seals performance. The CD has variety. The songs are hearfelt. BUT ALSO -- AND THIS IS AMAZING: THE SONICS ON THIS CD ARE AMONG THE BEST OF ANY CD (and yes, usually country/western has much higher production values than any other genre, but this CD goes beyond even that standard!) FOR THE HI-END AUDIOPHILE WHO NEEDS "DEMO" MATERIAL of MUSIC THAT IS ACTUALLY ENJOYABLE TO LISTEN TO (not boring) THIS CD COULD EASILY BE USED TO SELL $4,000 CD PLAYERS. If you just like Dan Seals, well hey all the reviewers (rightly so) told you how great Dan and this CD are. The sonics, though, are even more impressive.

The best country western album I have ever listened to in my life

This is a really super great CD with C&W music of the recent past. Dan Seals is one of the great performers of recent times.

My only problem with this CD is that it may not stand up to the constant wear that it gets. The CD is wonderful. I don't understand why this man is not up there with George, Garth and Allan, but if quality of voice, delivery and true talent count for anything, this is one album anyone will love.

This is one of the best albums you'll ever listen to. It brought back memories of songs I used to love when I was a kid, such as "Everybody's Dreamgirl," "Bop," and "After You." It contains many of Dan's best songs, and I guarantee you will like it. I enjoy it.

This album is one of Dan's very best. The great range of hits in this album makes it one of the very best buys on the market. From God must be a cowboy, to the haunting sound of One Friend, which is possibly the greatest Dan Seals song of all time, to the wonderful blending of the voices of Marie Osmond and Dan Seals in Meet me in Montana, this album has something for everyone. I strongly recommend it.

Great CD. Thanks for the prompt service! I am glad I was able to find this product. The sound quality on the CD is great.
