Editorial Reviews

Between 1984 and 1988, Naomi and Wynonna Judd could do no wrong. Nearly every single they released hit No. 1 on the country charts, and they soon became the biggest selling duo in country history. This set collects all of those early No. 1s, the only exception being "Give a Little Love," which peaked at No. 3. Powered by a neo-traditionalist sound, Wynonna's sultry, bluesy phrasing and mother Naomi's impeccable harmonies, their recordings tell the story of real lives and real loves, and touched a deep chord with country music's growing female audience. --Roy Kasten

4.0 out of 5 stars Authentic and charming country music, December 26, 2003

By	Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

With a very simple acoustic-based sound, The Judds created very authentic, sometimes even bluesy, country music. Their vocals are exquisite, especially the harmony singing. Add to that the quality of the material, and the Judds were unquestionably one of the greatest female duos of the 1980s.

Sure, these are mostly simple love songs, but therein lies their charm as they do succeed in covering the subject in all its complexity. In addition, there are hooks in all the right places, ensuring catchy, memorable music. My favourites include the life-affirming Girls Night Out, about a woman's determination to have a great night out with all the right music and dancing, and the sad, confessional song Change Of Heart.

I also love Have Mercy with its lively piano, the brooding ballad Cry Myself To Sleep and the gentle but inspiring Love Is Alive where the harmony vocals really shine. If you like good story songs and vignettes from real life, you'll love the refreshing music of The Judds.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Their Hits, June 7, 2003

By	Batmanbrb "batmansbrb" (Seymour, IN United States) - See all my reviews

How can anyone deny that every song on this Greatest Hits package is top-notch material?? It has all the excellent Judd songs on it. However, I couldn't in good conscience go without saying that if you like this disc, you really should pick up their individual CDs... The only release they did that wasn't 5-star was their last studio release "Love Can Build A Bridge". The Judds are so much more than just their Greatest Hits, if you don't pick up their other CDs, you'll be missing out on a lot of great music!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nobody can beat the Judds!, August 13, 2000

By	Dani Wooden (Alamo, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Long before the Dixie Chicks, or Shedaisy... a Niamoi, and Whinonna, (a mother and daughter duo) were, and in my opion still are the best female country group. All of my favorite songs as a child are on this cd... from "Rockin' with the Rythm of the Rain", "Girl's night out", "Love is Alive" and all of the others. This is the best Judds cd ever released, and quite perhaps one of the best country groups there ever was. I love you Judds!!!
