Not to be confused with Patty's 1999 CLASSICS cd, this is a collection of her early (pre-1993) hits. It's a great set of country-rock, honky tonk & ballads. Many of these songs will be familiar to you if you listen to country radio. Ten reasons why she's become a country superstar.

This compilation, released by MCA to capitalize on Loveless' catalog of material after she jumped ship to Epic with hubby Emory Gordy, Jr., misses the mark for a "Greatest Hits" package. Lots of her best vocal work is missing from her first two MCA CD's: "Wicked Ways," "Half Over You," and a pair of top-drawer Steve Earle-penned gems: "Some Blue Moons Ago," and "A Little Bit In Love" were also excluded. (Strange, considering Earle was also an MCA artist at the time.) "The Night's Too Long," which cracked the top 5, is left out. Her big hits are here, but Loveless' impeccable song choices makes it necessary to own all of her early MCA CD's to get a true feel for her scope as an interpretive artist and pioneer of the late 80's/early 90's New Traditionalist movement in Nashville.

I've purchased this cd 3 times now, have played it so much and scratched it. (I know I need to get in modern times and get ipod)!!
But anyway, this album is so much fun!!! Take it with you in your car, especially for road trips..its perfect. A lot of big hits and feel good sounds. Of course, Patty's voice is incredible as are her band members and background vocals. She has a way of bending words with her vocals...so talented!! This is definitely a must have!!!

I Like Patty. She Is Cute. The First Song I Heard From Her Was Don't Toss Us Away. She Sings Pretty Good Songs Like: Timber I'm Falling In Love, Chains, I am That Kind Of Girl, Hurt Me Bad (In A Real Good Way), And Jealuss Bone.
