this is the album to have added to your zz hill collection. are even your blues collection. even if it aint his true best, i still like it just fine and it sounds great to me like blues should sound. i first heard zz hill back in the early 90,s late 80,s and have loved his stuff ever since then. its a shame he isnt around anymore. to make great music for us all to enjoy. thanks to my uncle who got me a blues masters cd for chrstmas one year i have been hookd ever since to zz hill. bottom line a must have. kellyd.

This is by far the best representation of ZZ Hill at his peak. He is in full stride throughout this record.

I have purchased this for friends, family and several times for myself in various formats through out the years.

If you want to start a party, this is the kicker.

The title of this CD is blatant false advertising.
These recordings were made for the Malaco label in the 80s, and sound generic, synthesized, dull and have nothing to do with ZZ's greatest achievements, mainly his 60's and early 70's output.
Although the singing is great at times, you just can't get that great southern soul feeling when the backup tracks sound like they were played on a 40$ Casio synth.
Try and get some of his older stuff instead.

This is the late great ZZ Hill's best. Gauranteed to start your party! "Down Home Blues", "Cheatin' in the Next Room", "Friday is My Day" and on and on to the crack of dawn...it doesn't get much better than this, period!

This CD is great. All ZZ's hits and it wasn't a remake. All the songs sounded as they did on the original CD. Glad I got this one.

These tracks were recorded very early in the career of ZZ Hill, probably in the late sixties, before he became a star. The other reviewers are writing about some of the later albums that were issued with his hits. This is not a Malaco cd, it was put out by Classic Sounds International (CSI). If you love ZZ Hill, you will want to have these tracks for your collection.

Here are the correct songs that are on this CD:

1. Faithful and True
2. Put a Little Love In Your Heart
3. Early In the Morning
4. Touch ;Em with Love
5. Just As I Am
6. Hold Back (One Man At A Time)
7. I Think I'll Do It
8. Reprise #69.

I have recently begun to enjoy blues, and I absolutely love this album. I do not dislike any of the selections. I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys blues.

Has all of his best known recordings. Super CD. I would give it 10 stars.
