Editorial Reviews

This collection shows why Wynonna has transcended the country/pop genre by singing any kind of song great. "Girls With Guitars"- lots of fun. "Heaven Help My Heart" is just as good as the writer Tina Arena's version. Her ballads "She's His Only Need" - heartrending. A glorious collection for diehard fans and for anyone looking for a refreshing change from Shania Twang! Go get em Wynonna!

No doubt about it. Along with Trisha Yearwood, Mandy Barnett and Shelby Lynne, Wynonna is among the best of our modern country female vocalists. These ladies can surely teach Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, Terri Clark and Martina McBride the difference between commerciality and good old honest SINGING. This collection shows why Wynonna has transcended the country/pop genre by singing any kind of song great. "Girls With Guitars"- lots of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hurricane Wynonna strikes back!, March 6, 2000

Ok, we all know the history...famous duo...more awards than any other...forced to retire due to Mama Judds health. That was 1991. But could Wynonna strike out on her own without Naomi's harmonizing vocals? 1992's solo effort simply titled, Wynonna, showed them all with style, courage, and funk. Landing at #4 on Billboards Top 200 Chart, selling more copies of a female debut and having 4 #1s this album is a landmark in country music history. But the tide did not stop in 1992...

1993 brought us Tell Me Why. Tell Me Why brought a new look, a new sound, and new world-wide acclaim. With the #1's Tell Me Why and Only Love, not to mention the top-10 Rock Bottom and Girls With Guitars this album showed us that there was more to come with this one named wonder. 1996 brought Wynonna's #1 To Be Loved By You. Although the album it came from, Revelations was not a sales smash it certainly was a smash for Wynonna. Using personal experience and heartache, Wynonna crafted an album that opened up her heart to all of us.

Why do I expound on these albums? Because they were the ingredients for 'Collection.' Being her last album with MCA/Curb it was no wonder it would be a greatest hits album. Nothing is new here, except jazzed up versions of Rock Bottom and No One Else on Earth. It is a wonder why A Bad Goodbye was not included on this Collection.

One knows that this the first of many greatest hits collection from this woman with the soul of Elvis and the guts of Patsy Cline. A woman that seems to be reckoned with.

Wynonna proves that she did and can make it on her own. With over 10 top ten hits and millions of album sales she has the fan base to protect her. Her style and courage to chart her own waters will serve her well. It already has!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Collection...But There's More Where These Came From, January 9, 2000

Going solo was the best thing she ever could've done, & it shows on this collection. The Judds were good at the soft country ballad style, but whenever they experimented with blues & country-rock, they sounded silly & unconvincing. Wynonna the solo artist has no such problem, however, as she proves here. Highlights include the blues-rocker "Girls With Guitars", the spunky "Rock Bottom", the straight-country hits "I Saw the Light" & "Tell Me Why", & the beautiful "Heaven Help My Heart." Personally, I could've done without "Only Love" or "Is It Over Yet". There are plenty of other great album tracks that could've been included. But over all, a very good sample of her work.
