Collin's ballad's on this CD bring so many chills up and down your spine and brings tears to your eyes, just like the "I Think About You" and "Extremes" albums. "In This Life, Many A Mile, & Let It Be Me" will touch the heart and bring tears. Heart pulling songs like "Somebody Else's Moon, You Can't Take It With You & That Was A River" will make you think about relationships and even upbeat songs like "What They Don't Know, Big River & I Want You Bad(And That Ain't Good)" will keep you moving and it will remind you just how wonderful and talented Collin is and you'll just want to listen to it over and over again, just like his other albums. Keep up the great work Collin! I have never been disappointed with your work and will never be.

This CD is one of the finest to come out of nashville in the last 20 years. Each and every track is superb in it's own right from the excellent raunchyness of 'I want you bad (and that aint good)' to the beautifully sung 'Somebody else's moon' (which co-incidentally is in my top 5 of greatest ever country ballads...ever), this album is a winner all the way. The musicians selected for this album, in particular the absolutely tremendous talent of Brent Mason on Guitar, are among the most gifted in Nashville, and contribute some way to make this CD a classic (in my opinion anyway).

Buy it folks, you will not be disappointed.

This is one of the five Collin Raye albums that have gone platinum, and very deservingly so. It features IN THIS LIFE, one of the best love songs I have ever heard, sung with such sweetness that it brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it. Many couples, I understand, played this song at their weddings. LATTER DAY COWBOY is another one of Collin's songs that are nostalgic of the past. It is profound as well as simply beautiful. I could go on and review each song, but that would take too long. I love all of the songs from this cd, and you will too.

Thank you for such a wonderful CD - I have been looking for this CD thru other avenues - and I am glad I found it thru you and at such a wonderful price - Becky

This is one of my two favorite all-time country and western albums. If you are reading this review as a result of checking out the other of these two albums and followed the note to this one, thanks for coming here and reading what I have to say about this superb issue of Collin Raye's. If not, then I will give you info at the end of this review to find that other album.

This was Collin Raye's first album. It is another of those rare albums that is just wonderful, all the way through from one song to the next. Again, as with the other mentioned BEST album, I will do an unusual thing for me, that is to list songs with comments about them.


1. What They Don't Know....wonderful song about children and faith
2. In This Life....Collin's best song of all time, about thankfullness for love from his woman
3. Big River....the great old Johnny Cash song
4. Somebody Else's Moon....a truly wonderful sentimental and bittersweet song about lost love
5. You Can't Take It With You....another great sentimental and thoughtful song about lost love
6. That Was A River....still another great song about the measurement of loss
7. I Want You Bad ( And That Ain't Good)....great up-tempo song about desire
8. Later Day Cowboy....truly wonderful, softly and lovingly delivered, song about life
9. Many A Mile....another great oldie delivered with Collin's great soft touch
10. Let It Be Me....the fabulous old song from the 50's, delivered in an even better version than the Righteous Brothers did in the 60's.

This album, like the other mentioned, is out of print. BUT, as you can see, secondary copies are cheap, so do yourself a favor and grab one of these before it becomes totally unavailable. You will NEVER be sorry that you did.

Now, for the second of these albums, do a search for "The Coast of Colorado" by Skip Ewing and read my review of this album.

We used Collin's version of "Let it be me," as our wedding song. It will always touch my heart and bring a tear to my eye. Many of his songs can be used as wedding songs. He can really touch your heart with his beautiful voice.

I am the biggest Collin Raye fan, ever. This CD is his best work yet. If you have any emotions, this Cd will tap into them.

This CD has my favorite Collin song on it and I could listen to it over and over again. It's the opening track "What They Don't Know". It is the best song on the album but wasn't on the radio (at least I didn't hear it). Many hits are here including "In This Life" and "I Want You Bad (And That Ain't Good) among others. Overall though, I think I like his other albums a little better like his newest "Tracks", "I Think About You" and "The Walls Came Down". But this album is still great and highly recommended.

I Like Collin Raye. He Sings Real Good. This Guy Can Sing Songs Like: The Title Track, And "That Was A River" Also On The Best Of Album. And Other Hits Like: "Somebody Else's Moon", And The Dance Song "I Want You Bad(And That Ait't Good)".
