5.0 out of 5 stars Great compilation - why isn't John more famous ?, July 6, 2002

By	Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Following the success of Clint Black and Garth Brooks, a lot of new young singers were given a chance to make their name in country music. Although John is not actually my favorite among them, he is certainly one of the best.

This is a stunning hits collection, including two songs that became more famous via cover versions (I swear and I can love you like that).

Another excellent song is I love the way you love me, written partly by the brilliant singer-songwriter Victoria Shaw, who recorded three outstanding albums of her own, all unfairly overlooked by American country radio.

Actually, all the songs are excellent. John demonstrates his ability to sing songs brilliantly in a variety of tempos and moods, but particularly love songs. This is a great collection of 1990's country which should appeal to traditional country fans who can accept a little modernisation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hits, May 26, 2002

By	J. M. Zuurbier (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

John Michael Montgomery's 1997 collection GREATEST HITS spans his albums with his best known hits. He was very popular in the '90s, but lately has been struggling to make it on country radio. It's a shame, as evidence here, that he makes some good music. From the instantly catchy "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)", to the sentimental ballad "I Love The Way You Love Me", there are many dimensions to this artist. His hits "I Swear" and "I Can Love You Like That" were covered by pop group All4One but pale in comparison to the originals. The new track "Angel In My Eyes" is a touching ballad. Other hits include "Life's a Dance", "Cowboy Love", "Friends" and more. Overall a treat for fans and admirers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best country albums of all, May 16, 2000

By	retrowens (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Without a doubt, this is one of the best Greatest Hits albums that I have and probably one of the best ever. It shows JMM's talent better than any other album and it has most of his hits. JMM can do it all when it comes to singing. There are all around great love songs ("I Love The Way You Love Me"), some songs that are almost like country/rap ("Sold" and "Be My Baby Tonight"), and everything in between ("Life's A Dance"). JMM is one of the few country singers that has enough talent to be able to sing a song as fast as "Sold" and to also make a lot of chart toppers in a matter of only a few years.

If you like country music, then you will probably like this album because JMM can do it all! He's one of the best country singers out there today.
