Kenny really has done it this time. Buy Me a Rose just says it all for me. Fits my life to a tee. Best album since his Greatest Hits album. I view that song next to Lady for sure. And of course The Greatest speaks for another side of Kenny, the creative side. All songs on this CD are superb and sung as only Kenny can sing them. Sung with feeling and natural appeal. They are warm and romantic and relaxing. This album is going to fly off the charts. Kenny is back in full swing and it is so refreshing for the music industry. Every song on this CD i can relate to in some way. It sings life and reality and true situations. Hats off to a superstar and I thank him for such a wonderful CD. I have seen 13 of his concerts and he is awesome. The Music industry owes a lot to this great performer. He will always be the best. He sings what every man wants to say and every woman wants to hear. It does not get better than that!

If you are looking for a review based strictly on somebody's knowledge on Kenny Rogers, or based on somebody's opinion of country music then scroll down to the next review. But if you are looking for someone's opinion on what sounds good, then take this review into consideration. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of country music, but the message that Kenny Rogers' music delivers on this CD is so strong that when you listen to it you actually feel as if he is talking to you personally. With songs like "Buy Me a Rose" and "The Greatest" on this CD it is clearly one of the greatest collections of music on the market today. "The Greatest" is a wonderful song because anyone who was once a young boy and dreamed of being a baseball player when they grew up can relate to it. Not only does it bring back memories of childhood fun, but it also shows the determination that young children have to accomplish a goal or to capture a dream."Buy Me a Rose" is in my opinion the best song on this album. This song will touch anyone who has ever been in love because it shows the hard work that it takes to have a successful relationship, not to mention how the littlest things in life can make the biggest difference. Overall, if I was able to give this CD 10 stars, I would have. Even if you are not a big fan of country music you will still appreciate the hard work and heartfelt determination that went into this album. And it clearly shows. Bravo!

Kenny just gets better with time, and this album is no exception. "The Greatest" says it all about positive attitude in an outstanding song. He has 2 great covers on here of a Sarah McLachlan song and a Bonnie Raitt song, both well done and intersting new versions of the originals. Everything on the album is as gritty and real as Kenny himself, and just at cozy. This is one CD I'm going to wear out, and then go buy another. An instant classic!

A secretary in my office told me about this song about baseball sung by Kenny Rogers. I grew up with a bat in one hand and a glove in the other. I have a 3 1/2 year old boy who has a unique talent for baseball. I have dreams of him playing pro ball one day like most fathers do. I am in a new position in my profession and it eats up a lot of my family time. I don't have as many opportunities to play ball with my son. I was driving down the road one morning and heard "The Greatest" on the radio. I pulled over and cried at the end of the song. Like your song, my son is "The Greatest"! Thank you for making a song that is so simple, yet so meaningfull on so many different levels.

This album has so many great songs it is hard to say which one is the "Greatest". He sings of slow dancing, spending time with family and riding wild horses in your dreams. The music is up-beat and very catchy. Singing along is also a great deal of fun. Thank-you Mr. Rogers for putting out a very 'nice' and enjoyable record.

I do not consider myself the biggest Kenny Rogers fan. In fact, I have only this and Ten Years Of Gold. This is definetley the greatest country album from the past 10 years.
Slow Dance More- One of the best on the album and should have went farther than it did.
Buy Me a Rose- A number 1 hit. A great love song.
I Will Remember You- I have to say this is better than the original version.
Love Don't Live Here Anymore- The backup singers make a great song an awesome song.
She Rides Wild Horses- 2nd best on album
Kind of Fool Love Makes- Another good love song.
Loving Arms- I enjoyed this song but not the greatest on the album
I Can't Make You Love Me- My least favorite but it's still great
Let It Be Me- excellent ballad
The Greatest- Kenny saved the best for last.
I think Kenny Rogers is the one of the greatest country singers ever and this is one of his best. He had a concert on A&E and I watched it to hear some of his older songs (especially The Coward of the County) and he performed several songs from this album which covinced me to buy it.

I've been a Kenny Rogers fan all my 24 years of life on this planet! And this is the greatest comeback any ledgend can have! This album has some of the best music Kenny has recorded! "Buy Me a Rose" is one of the best! The song actually went to #1 on the Country Charts! Kenny's first #1 since "Make No Mistake, She's Mine" back in the late 80's! But I would suggest this album for any true country music fan!

The highly sensitive words of writer Don Schlitz and inimitable talents of Kenny Rogers pay us a timely reminder such as was stated by the Reverend Mother to postulate Maria in "The Sound of Music," to wit, that when God closes a door somewhere he opens a window. Regardless of religious persuasion or lack thereof, adults should find the message of "The Greatest" timely and uplifting. It is a good idea to listen to childish utterances. They are beautiful and accurate in their simplicity. Kudos to both Mr. Schlitz and Mr. Rogers for recognizing the powerful impact "The Greatest" would have on all who hear it. Any naysayers out there might do well to ponder on the lesson therein.

I was running with my headphones when I first heard "The Greatest". When Kenny said "strike three", I cursed out loud, saying "damn you". My 10 year old son and I play catch all the time. He is a pitcher, and loves baseball. I was so upset that a singer would sing such a depressing line.......and then the last verse came over the headphones........and I had to stop in the road, overcome with emotion. Kenny.....my son and I love you, and that song alone is a true inspiration to youth and dreams. Keep it up!

BOY,I REALLY LIKED HIS SONG "THE GREATEST." I THINK KENNY RODGERS IS THE BEST COUNTRY SINGER OF ALL TIME. IF YOUR IN THE STORE AND YOU LIKE COUNTRY MUSIC YOU SHOULD BUY KENNY ROGERS "SHE RIDES WILD HORSES" THAT HAS "THE GREATEST" ON IT IF YOU DON'T GET IT THEN YOUR MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. TRUST ME ON THIS WHEN I GOT THIS CD I WAS LISTING TO ALL HIS WONDERFUL SONGS. AFTER I LISTENED TO IT FOR A THOUSAND TIMES. I PUT ON THE GREATEST AND KEPT IT ON THAT SAME SONG ALL NIGHT THAT IS HOW MUCH I LIKED IT. THE NEXT NIGHT MY DAD KEPT LISTING TO HIS SONGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. UNTIL HE MEMORIZED IT. THEN WHENEVER ANY OF HIS SONGS CAME ON MY DAD,MOM,MY LITTLE BROTHER AND I WOULD SING THE SONG WITH HIM SO BUY HIS CD "SHE RIDES WILD HORSES". THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOOD DAY/OR NIGHT. OH YEAH! I FORGOT TO TELL YOU IT REMINDS ME OF ME. WHEN I WAS PLAYING BASEBALL FOR THE KNIGHTS WHICH IS MY HOME TEAM.
