Capitol wants cash, sells out Suzy, October 29, 2006
If you followed Suzy's hitmaking days, you may remember that this, her first "hits" CD, came out well after the release of two top 5 songs, "Just Like the Weather" and "Hey Cinderella"...neither of which was included. You may also recall that the disc's liner notes, written by genuine Suzy admirer Patsi Cox, refer to the inclusion of "Night Rider's Lament", which in fact does not appear on the CD. Finally, the lovely cover photo was a leftover from the "Voices in the Wind" photo session several years earlier. Bottom line, this was clearly a cheap, rush-it-to-market product which gave unfortunate evidence to every suspicion that Capitol records was more than willing to sell out its middle-tier artists (Suzy, Billy Dean, John Berry, Tanya Tucker) for the bucks needed to keep the Garth machine happy. Suzy deserved much better, and she finally got closer to it in 2002 with the release of her "20 Greatest Hits," a much better package that includes most of her hits plus a good assortment of her better album tracks. Go there.

Enjoyable Album by a First-Rate Vocalist, January 20, 2004
Suzy Bogguss' Greatest Hits album is an excellent compilation of her biggest radio hits along with a few other gems. "Letting Go" is my favorite song of hers, partly because it was released while I was in high school so I could relate to it. This song is about a mother/daughter relationship as the girl leaves home for college and Suzy's interpretation is flawless. Other outstanding tracks include "Aces," "Someday Soon," "Drive South," and "Outbound Plane." In addition to these popular hits, the CD contains a few lesser known songs like "Hopelessly Yours," which is a duet with Lee Greenwood (famous for his rendition of "God Bless The USA") and "I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart," where Suzy showcases her yodeling ability. However, the album is missing a couple songs that would have made it even better -- "Hey Cinderella" and "Just Like The Weather." I am still giving the CD 5 stars though, because it is so enjoyable to listen to -- all the songs are great and there is no filler. Suzy Bogguss has one of the best voices in the genre and hopefully one day she will receive more radio airplay so we can all listen to her more often!

Greatest voice in Country Music, June 8, 1999
By A Customer
This CD is loaded with the best selection of songs of any Greatest Hits CD I've heard. Suzy is a great talent. Anyone who loves the sound of the female voice would enjoy listening to this CD.
