Format:Audio CD
Ok, so Kenny Rogers has a ton of "Hits" albums out, but this is possibly the best on one disc. Nearly every major hit is included, however, the #2's and 3's didn't make the cut. Mostly I miss "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town", and a few other minor hits. But it's hard to complain when we get "Lucille", "Coward Of The County", "Lady", and numerous others. Plus this includes his perfect duet with Dolly "Islands In The Stream", and the infamous sing-a-long "The Gambler". It's still hard for me to get interested in new country when the classic songs sound this good. If you need more Kenny than this, you'll have to get the 42 track "Ultimate Hits".

I noticed that nearly every song on this CD has had maybe the last 3-5 seconds chopped. Im surprised noone has mentioned this, as it pretty much chops off the last chord of "Lady". The effect on most other songs is nearly unnoticeable though. And my god! Is that really the original recording of The Gambler? If it is, then they did an excellent job remastering it. It sounds legit so far to me. Save your money if possible though and get the Through The Years: A Retrospective box set which has everything this disc has (except "Buy Me A Rose") along with the #1's that didnt make this collection like "Tomb of Unknown Love" without the chop job at the end. Heck, the Retrospective box set sports just every one of his charted sings that I can think of all the way to 1997.

Give Kenny Rogers his due. In the '70s and '80s, he was one of the top artists placing more than 60 singles on both the pop and country charts. He was the first country artist to earn 20 RIAA gold records. In 1978 he had his first country chart topper with "Lucille," and more than twenty years later he had a country No. 1 with "Buy Me a Rose," making him the oldest country artist to top the chart at age 61.
Because this collection focuses only on his No. 1 hits (with a few exceptions), there are none of his hits with The First Edition. [You'll have to buy 2004's 42 ULTIMATE HITS to get those.] What you do get are some of his best known solo hits like "The Gambler," "Coward of the County," "Daytime Friends" and "Love or Something Like It." Plus there are his duets: "We've Got Tonight" with Sheena Easton, "Islands in the Stream" with Dolly Parton," "Make No Mistake, She's Mine" with Ronnie Milsap, and three hits with his favorite duet partner Dottie West--"Every Time Two Fools Collide," "All I Ever Need Is You" and "What Are We Doin' in Love."
My only complaint is the exclusion of his 1985 No. 1 "Tomb of the Unknown Lover." [Inexplicably, they include his duet with Kim Carnes ("Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer") which only reached No.3 along with two other solo hits ("Through the Years" and "Share Your Love with Me") that both peaked at No. 5.] So, while 21 NUMBER ONES may stretch the truth a bit, this is a solid collection of some of Kenny Rogers' best material. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
