This is a good compilation in terms of song selection. All of the duo's major hits are included and especially satisfying is the inclusion of the song "Just Tell Me You Love Me" which is not available in any of the other England Dan & John Ford Coley "best of" compilations. The duo's music are essentially easy listening pop and soft rock with a country flavour and catchy melodies. The only reason I am not giving this more than a three stars rating is the rather poor sound quality. Considering that this album was released only a few years ago I'm surprised that the tracks were not remastered to enhance the sound. Disappointing!

I've always been a fan of mellow 70's music & a fan of England Dan & John Ford Coley. But, I'd only heard the handful of their songs that were played on our local "oldies" station. Ordered this CD out of curiosity & have not removed it from my player yet! While I'm enjoying the hits I've always loved (Really Love to See You Tonight, Nights Are Forever w/o You) I'm becoming a fan of the duet all over again because of songs like "Just Tell Me You Love Me", "Wanting You Desparately", "Part of Me, Part of You" and more. In my opinion, they just do not MAKE good music like this anymore! So many of the songs on the radio today are "forgettable", while E.D & J.F.C. are timeless. BUY THIS ALBUM....you will not be sorry!

The music on this album is so relaxing to listen to that if you have high blood pressure or high anxiety you cant help but feel calm and peaceful listening to this great collection from one of the best duos from the fantastic seventies.

As it says, essentials for your music collection. From the most capable group to express your every feeling.
