One of the most underappreciated artists of our time puts it all on the line. Finally, all the best of Randy Travis is compiled into one of the greatest albums in recent memory. This is classic country at its best

First, I second the statement of the previous reviewer,that Randy Travis may be the most underappreciated (and in some Nashville circles...with the exception of the print media)underrated artist,to every hit the streets of Nashville.
Not until his recent release,"Live..It Was Just A Matter Of Time" have I enjoyed an album more. Every one of the songs here on "Greatest #1 Hits, is a clear example of what good music, and talent can provide.Hours upon hours of enjoyable listening pleasure!

Now on Live" one can hear the continued allegience to what country music use to sound like. More importantly,you will quickly come to understand, why this particular artist has been able to endure, when so many others have long faded into the fartherest recesses of our memories.

If you love this Greatest #1 Hits,you will surly want "Live" which also comes in DVD format as well as CD,Cassette or VHS.
In finishing this review, I just want to say, Randy did the industry a favor once, now it is time for the Industry (including broadcasting) to do him one, and start playing this mans music once again,for all to hear and enjoy!

I bought this CD because I like the way Randy Travis sings a song, nothing twangy or goofy about his voice. The songs are good, but Randy makes them special. You can listen to this CD for hours and still enjoy it next time. He not only picks interesting songs but knows how to make them his own, a real stand out in the country music crowd.

When Randy Travis blew into town, Country Music finally got off of it's knees and took it's place back at the front of the line. Thank God for Randy, Dwight, Patty, Marty, and George Strait. This album covers those Travis numbers that topped the charts, and when you listen to this CD, you'll soon realize why they reached number 1. Included here are "1982", "Look Heart", and "Diggin up Bones"...all great traditional country hits. But my personal Randy Travis favorite is his cover of Sonny James' "It's Just a Matter of Time". Many compared Randy to George Jones, and he did in fact carry forward some of Jones' syle; but there was no doubt that Randy was more influenced by Lefty Frizzel. This is a great album, well worth your money.

I was so impressed with the delivery time. The product was in excellent condition! I love shopping with Amazon ---- they out beat any other competitor!
