In the 1970s when pop music disintegrated into the mind-numbing mess known as disco and so many of us fled to country music, Eddie Rabbitt was there to welcome us. The 20 songs on this CD are an excellent sampling of what made Eddie Rabbitt the crossover artist of the decade.

I must admit I purchased this CD (after owning 6 or 7 Eddie Rabbitt vinyl albums for 30 years) on St. Patrick's Day 2007 for ONE SONG -- "Song of Ireland". If you have a single drop of Irish blood flowing through your veins, this song will make you cry in your Guinness. The other 19 songs just reminded me why I loved this guy so much.

Great hits like "Hearts on Fire", "Pour me Another Tequila", "You Don't Love Me Anymore" and "Gone Too Far", make this "Two albums on one CD" set worth the price, but my favorite Eddie Rabbitt song will always be "I Just Want To Love You".

And if you didn't know; Elvis Presley's "Kentucky Rain" was written by Rabbitt and his version on this CD is faithfully delivered, straight to the heart.

Eddie Rabbitt died an untimely death in 1998 at the age of 56, but this and other cd collections will assure that future generations will know just what a wonderful songwriter -- and singer -- he was. Buy it. You'll be thrilled with this music.

Agree with last reviewer "Song of Ireland" I remember loving well. Some of these songs I have not been heard for 30 years! Wow..the memories they bring back! I speak for many I'm sure. MUCH praise and thanks to WOUNDED BIRD RECORDS for this! It was WaaaaaAY Overdue!! "Song of Ireland" can also be found on Eddies new PLATINUM COLLECTION.

Now, I'm just wishing they'll get the album ROCKY MOUNTAIN MUSIC on CD.
I'm afraid it's going to be neglected because I don't know what other album they could pair it with, since most from this era have already been matched. It SHOULD have been paired with EDDIE RABBITT from 1977. Because I love the song " Tullahoma Dancing Pizza Man". Does anybody remember that one? Sure it's kinda silly..and who can get get a pizza for $4.99 anymore? But it was a great song and brings back memories of the good ol' days.

Oh well, at least we have most of the good stuff....FINALLY!

I have the albums and this is the only place I have found the music on CD.
They are full of great music with lots of sentimental value. It is great price for the double CD.

Finally, these two great albums are out on CD! These albums both show how cutting edge Eddie Rabbitt was and ahead of the curve. You can see how influential Rabbitt was and why he was so influential in the midst of 70s & 80s country music.

As on the Eddie Rabbitt / Rabbitt to albums on 1 CD set produced by Wounded Bird Records, the mastering of this CD is great.

If you like Eddie Rabbitt, I think you'll love these!

I HAD THESE ON 8 TRACK YEARS AGO. THEY SOUND EVEN BETTER TODAY.

The entire CD was a delite to listen too. Can't wait for more to be released.

Very Impressed. Been waiting a long whle to find this album. Love Eddie Rabbitt.

I had purchased this on 8 track in the 70's and I am pleased as punch to have it again on CD. Love it!!

I found Loveline on cassette in the rubble of a worksite in Monterey CA in 1986 and wore it out! I have been trying to find it on cd for years, and lo and behold, here it is! Listening to it again will no doubt take me right back to those crazy teenage days, now that 40 is creeping up fast! Cant wait for it to show up!
