5.0 out of 5 stars It's true, the cream rises to the top!!!, August 24, 2001

Michael has reprised and re-recorded a dozen of his favorite tunes from his long and illustrious career, going all the way back to "Geronimo's Cadillac" (my first contact with his music) and ending with the beginning of his current incarnation, the senior cowboy songster. To be sure, "Wildfire", "Carolina In The Pines", and "Cherokee Fiddle" are included, although you might find those on a number of other collections. What sets this apart are some tunes that have only been available a time or two before, and, in one case, on no MMM collection (Thom Schuyler and Paul Overstreet's wonderful "A Long Line Of Love"). Some of you may have most of these already, but the updated arrangements are more than worth the price of admission here, and this is certainly a welcome addition to my collection. I just wish he'd come to the mid-Atlantic a little more frequently!!!

I was extremely disappointed to find these tunes to be all remakes of the originals. I love Michael's music, but he missed the mark this time. The instrumentals aren't close to the originals and Michael strains to reach each high note. Top tunes have been redone and are almost as good. Put out the originals!! I'll pay extra!!
