I bought this album in the tape format in 1989, and replaced it later with the cd. For a non-greatest-hits album, they really just don't come any better than this one: three #1 songs and three other top tens. All that, plus the album has a really terrific non-hit "sleeper" track in "Changes." I have no problem giving this one a 5-star rating

In response to the previous review, "Ghost In This House" and "The Moon Over Georgia" indeed were not included in this album. But for obvious reasons. Those two songs had not been recorded yet. They first appeared on Shenandoah's 1990 album, "Extra Mile". This is a great cd and the standout song is clearly the number one hit, "Two Dozen Roses". What a beautiful song. Another number one hit on this album is "The Church on Cumberland Road". Rick Hall, one of the album's producers, didn't really care for a song about a groom running late for his wedding and therefor wasn't really for putting it on the album. It made it and became another number one for the band. "See If I Care", a top ten hit, is another good song. But why put "She Doesn't Cry Anymore" on the album? This song first appeared on their debut album two years earlier and is a great song, but why they decided to re-release it on this album is beyond me. This is truly a great album overall and was their most sucessful one to boot.

Had just heard this c.d first time last week.What an unbelievable PLEASANT SURPRISE,it is not often these days to listen to something once and take a liking to it or just plain love it-where was I in '89?-Very fresh and catchy and meaninful.
It just goes to show,learn something new-like something new everyday and always keep a fresh open mind!

Great original music from Shenandoah. I gave it only four stars because "Ghost in this House" and "Moon over Georgia" are not on it. Very meaningful lyrics and tunes. Well worth buying especially at a used price.
