5.0 out of 5 stars Tanya's best of the nineties, July 28, 2002

Although Tanya signed for Capitol in 1986 and had many classic hits, this particular compilation focuses almost entirely on her nineties music. Tanya's first Greatest Hits for Capitol appeared in 1989 and the only track from that which is included here is My arms stay open all night. The next compilation was Greatest Hits 1990-1992. All ten tracks from that set are included here.

So, if you want Daddy and home, Strong enough to bend, Love me like you used to, Just another love, I'll come back as another woman, If it don't come easy, I won't take less than your love, One love at a time and It's only over for you, buy that first Capitol Greatest Hits.

One real oldie included here is Delta Dawn, a re-recording from 1991's Greatest Hits Encore, an album which contained re-recordings of ten of Tanya's seventies hits for Columbia and MCA.

There is one previously unissued track for Tanya's long-standing fans (like me), the opening Black water bayou. To me, that alone is worth the price.

The other tracks are all from the nineties, mostly after 1992. You can't fit all Tanya's Capitol hits on a single CD, but if you buy this and that first Greatest hits, you'll have all the essentials.

4.0 out of 5 stars You can't go wrong with this collection, October 8, 2000

Tanya Tucker's smokey voice and great song selection have made her one of the most successful and admired women in country music -- she's had a total of 65 country chart hits, including ten #1s. She is a true original, and makes some of the most potent music around. This collection picks up with her hits from 1990 (My Arms Stay Open All Night) right through her last top 10 hit of the 90's (Little Things). During that time, Tanya hit the country charts a total of 21 times, and this collection contains 16 of those songs, plus two wonderful non-chart-hits (Right About Now and I'll Take Today), one old hit (Delta Dawn from 1972) and one never-before-released song, the fantastic Black Water Bayou. So, overall a good collection of her work from the last decade. But a couple of quibbles that make this a 4-star collection instead of a 5-star collection for me: First, that they didn't include some of her other chart hits from the same time period (including You Just Watch Me and Between the Two of Them), but opted instead to include a couple of non-hits. Second, that they seemed to just tack on Delta Dawn on the end -- I love that song a lot, but since this collection is about her 90's hits, it seems a bit out of place. Third, the packaging seems minimal and hurried, just the barest of information (they don't even mention anywhere that T. Graham Brown is the duet partner on Don't Go Out -- a big ommission), and the photos of her are taken from her last album, Complicated. And fourth, that nearly all of these songs have been released on her last couple of compilations of hits. But, having said all that, this is still a fantastic collection from one of the most fascinating and expressive voices in country music. I, for one, can't wait to see what Tanya does next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, August 23, 2002

I bought this CD because of "Its a Little too Late". Tanya's distinct voice and awesome lyrics drew me to the song. Even though I bought this CD for one song in the beginning, I have to say that this CD is a big suprise because I love every song. Usually you get those albums that you skip over songs but not this one! I own 60+ country albums and this one is one of the top 5 that I am always playing. Tanya has the old country sound... none of the pop stuff played today. Some songs are up-beat, but all have great lyrics. Tanya will get your dancing and singing along. A few of my favorites are: "Walking Shoes", Down to my Last Teardrop", "Tell me about it", "Two Sparrows in a Hurricane", Hangin' In," It's a Little too late", "If your heart Ain't busy tonight", & "Delta Dawn". I'd recomend this CD to anyone who loves the REAL country sound!
