5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice collection...,
This review is from: Platinum Collection (Audio CD)
It's the entire first album (with a mixed-up track listing) coupled with 5 cuts each from the 2nd and 3rd albums...the first album is a classic, the 2nd & 3rd were confused releases, where he was chasing an elusive stardom which only came later. So the cd overall sounds great and is "remastered" -- I'm no audiophile but the whole thing sounds excellent to me. Basically nice to have the 1st record mixed with choice cuts from the lesser follow-ups, apparently made for the U.K. audience, where Crowell has a bit of recently-attained success, and who may not have had access to these tunes before. In the U.S., where a cd of the first album is available, and a cd combining the 2nd and 3rd is too, it's less useful, but still attractively priced and a good "package" for Crowell fans who may have only caught up with him during his 21st century, well-deserved Americana-resurgence...

This review is from: Platinum Collection (Audio CD)
Rodney Crowell is perhaps one of the most over-looked and under-rated songwriters and performers of our time. His talent has shown through for many more mainstream performers, including his ex-wife, Roseanne Cash and Willie Nelson, and he has been the creative and production genius behind several gold-record winning albums. I have to say I am a long-time addict after my cousin, who worked for Warner Bros records 30+ years ago gave me a first pressing of some vinyl that didn't even have a label on it of Rodney's first album and then seeing him first perform live during his tour of that album a year later. It remains my favorite of his recordings. I purchased this specific album because it contained a major portion of the songs on that first CD, as well several other "hits" that he subsequently recorded over the years. His voice and the instrumental abilities of the musicians he has assembled to record with over the years still resonate today. This is a collection that you will keep in rotation on your CD player and say "wow -- I didn't know he wrote that one..."
