5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Collection From Rocker's "Orleans"., November 12, 2003

By	highway_star (Hallandale, Florida United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I always liked Orleans, they had great harmonizing and their songs were catchy. This collection includes the hits "Dance With Me", "Time Passes On", "Let There Be Music", "Still The One" and "Love Takes Time" to name a few. I don't know why some reviewers are so down on this Orleans collection giving it as low as one star. Come on this cd is a heck of alot better than that. This collection takes songs from the albums "Orleans", "Let There Be Music", "Waking And Dreaming" and "Forever". Orleans style was a combination of folk and country rock. Groups comparable to Orleans could be Firefall (as one reviewer has mentioned), and Poco. This collection has also been nicely remastered and includes a fifteen page booklet with colorful photos and information on Orleans. If you enjoy seventies rock, this would make a nice addition to your collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Compilation of the Band that's out there but not one of Rhino's best outputs!, January 25, 2006

Rhino has become synonymous with great, well remastered rejuvenation of classic artistes and their classic albums and most of the time, they get it right. However, although the track selections are brilliant and with 20 tracks on one disc you are getting great value for money and great liner notes written by members of the band themselves, the usually brilliantly remastered sound quality that you'd expect from a Rhino album just isn't here on this album. The sound quality is okay but not as good as most of their other projects. Still, this is the one (pun intended)to get if you are looking for the best compilation of Orleans that is currently out there. While they have been compared with other bands like Poco and Firefall, Player and Ambrosia, I'd say they rank behind Ambrosia in terms of quality but way ahead of the others mentioned. Very good soft 70's style rock if you like that genre; if you like what you hear on this album, may I also recommend to you "Anthology" by Ambrosia which is one heck of a great album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still Good Music, December 22, 2005

By	Tony James "A J" (Canadarocks) - See all my reviews

Its difficult to pigeon hole Orleans music. From a country rock "Eagles" flavour to the folk inspired songs of "America", Orleans filled the niche somewhere in between. John Hall's Orleans started out with a tune called "Let There be Music" and then co wrote "Dance With me" and "Still the One" with his wife. "Love takes Time" was the last big hit but there are other songs on this compilation that are just as good if you familiarize yourself with them. Enjoy.
