A great sampling!, September 6, 2002
This review is from: Totally Country (Audio CD)
I am in the military stationed overseas and we do not have access to country music radio here, but after purchasing Totally Country, I realized how much fantastic music I've missed over the last 2 years. I did not know many of the artists in this collection except for Brooks & Dunn, Travis Tritt and of course Kenny Rogers and Dwight Yoakam. So I had no biases when I popped in the cd and listened, the music speaks for itself:
1. "Only in America" - Brooks & Dunn - Wow what a chorus! This song is every bit as good as their old stuff. It makes me proud to be serving my county!
2. "She Couldn't Change Me" - Montgomery Gentry - I love this song because it reminds me of my girlfriend.
3. "With Me" - Lonestar - Great song, strong chorus and I love that fiddle, now I'm a Lonestar fan!
4. "Without you" - Dixie Chicks - I always thought the Dixie Chicks were a bit overrated, but this song is simply beautiful.
5. "On a Night Like This" - Trick Pony - Never heard of them. But the singer has a really sexy voice, I'd like to hear more of their stuff.
6. "I Lost it" - Kenny Chesney - My favorite song on this album. What a voice! The best chorus I heard in while.
7. "Angels in Waiting" - Tammy Cochran - Its okay,if this song wasn't on this cd, I wouldn't miss it.
8. "Born to Fly" - Sara Evans - See 7#
9. "Austin" - Blake Shelton - I love this song, I have this thing for story songs. It makes me want to change my answering machine message!
10. "One Voice" - Billy Gilman - This kid can sing! Beautiful song.
11. "Where the Blacktop Ends" - Keith Urban - Has a nice "Irish/Riverdance" feel to it. I bet he has better songs.
12. "One More Day" - Diamond Rio - Sometimes I like this song, sometimes I get bored with it...one of those mood songs.
13. "It's a Great Day to be Alive" - Travis Tritt - I'm not a big Travis Tritt fan...what is this song about?
14. "I want you to want me" - Dwight Yoakam - I like it, but the original version was better.
15. "The Little Girl" - John Michael Montomery - If this song doesn't make you cry then there is something wrong with you. Gorgeous song.
16. "Buy Me a Rose" - Kenny Rogers - I'm so impressed, Kenny sounds exactly like he did 30 years ago. Nice advice, for men who don't have any good gift ideas.
17. "There You Are" - Martina McBride - Okay song, I can imagine Celine Dion singing this song...is this country?
Overall this a great cd for someone who is getting into modern country, or who is getting back into it. Highly recommended!

I found this CD and had to buy it. All these great hits in one place? How could I pass it up? This CD is great to listen to because it has such a variety. A CD no true country fan should be without!

Great Stuff, September 13, 2003
This review is from: Totally Country (Audio CD)
It's not often you find a CD with 17 of the very best selections. This is one of those special buys that you are destined to play over and over. I made a copy to keep from wearing out the original. The selection of songs, themes, and styles is varied, yet they blend well enough together to keep you singing along. I discovered some new favorites after just one listen. Even if you are not a die-hard country fan you will enjoy this CD, I did.
