Linda Ronstadt is truly one of the best female vocalists of the twentieth century. She is able to carry a tune from just about any genre of music; and I'm extremely impressed with all her accomplishments. This CD entitled Linda Ronstadt: Greatest Hits has quite a few of her best hits here although a single CD could never be enough to hold all her hits. I'm glad there's at least a volume two to this set! The quality of the sound is very, very good and I like the artwork even if it's relatively standard for this CD series.

The CD starts off with Linda singing her big, big hit entitled "You're No Good." "You're No Good" is an auspicious beginning for this CD; it features Linda Ronstadt squarely front and center--right where she belongs! This rock tune benefits from a solid guitar arrangement and the percussion enhances the music very well. Linda sings this well; in fact she pulls it off without a hitch and that's grand. "Silver Threads And Golden Needles" is very much a country tune that Linda aces as effortlessly as if it were just breathing; but of course we know it really wasn't all that easy. Linda's talents always carried her through. In addition, I love the poignant "Desperado." I first heard "Desperado" performed by The Eagles; but when Linda Ronstadt sings this she really does this one up right! "Desperado" is clearly a major highlight of this album and Linda makes it all her own with her impeccable sense of timing.

"Love Is A Rose" is very strong; and listen for "That'll Be The Day." "That'll Be The Day" got a lot of airplay back in its time; and it deserved every bit of the attention it got. We all listened to this on the jukeboxes and Linda bats this one straight out of the ballpark! Terrific! "Long, Long Time" has an excellent arrangement for the strings; and "When Will I Be Loved?" is another number I remember so very well. I could never forget Linda Ronstadt singing "When Will I Be Loved?"  "When Will I Be Loved?" shines when Linda performs it faultlessly and you can really hear the emotion she pours into this tune. How's about that guitar work, too?

"(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave" features Linda at her best; she delivers this brilliantly and again I'm truly quite impressed. "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave" rocks and it's still perfectly good for dancing even in our times. The backup vocalists harmonize very well, too. "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" gets a most sensitive treatment from the wonderful Linda Ronstadt; this songbird does this very well. The CD even ends strong with Linda Ronstadt performing "Tracks Of My Tears." I can't remember where I first heard this tune but Linda's rendition is very special to say the least.

Linda Ronstadt is probably underrated even with the recognition she receives to this day. It's exceptionally rare that we have such a songbird in our midst; there's nothing Linda Ronstadt can't sing when she puts her mind to singing it. I highly recommend this for her fans; and it makes a great starter CD for people just discovering the magical sound of Linda Ronstadt.

There are times when you buy an CD and you only like a few songs... not in this case, EVERY SONG is awesome... I have a library of over 300 CDs, and this is one of the ONLY one of a handful that I love every song and can listen from start to finish.  I listen to this all the time... I was disappointed it didn't do as well on the charts because I think this was an amazing CD and deserved a grammy it was that GOOD!!! she didn't have good marketing as this would have been the surprise hit of the year!!!

This is a must buy, you will not be disappointed! would love to see the videos of the songs

I don't usually write reviews but I had to for this

If you were a fan of Haley and rooting for her on American Idol season 10 you need to have this  with a new sound combined with 60s and 70s style rock with this girl , you just cant go wrong, Love Haley!  I cant wait to hear that grrrowl of her again

Crispy voice Keyshia Cole delivers powerful, balanced hits from the aftermath of her pain.  This album is truly for the ladies.  From the climatic I Just Want It To Be Over 5/5 (on second thoughts who needs him) to I Changed My Mind 5/5 (it's all about what a girl wants) to You've Changed 5/5 (love don't live here anymore) this richly textured album is sure to be a chart climber.  Miss Cole is talented vocal powerhouse and a rising star who has Alicia Keys written all over her.  And for you hopeless romantics...in Keyshia's own words "If LOVE is your focus...pay attention." Whoa! She's deeper than a puddle of mud! Fellas don't step to her because she's all about business...That's the way it is!!!

I purchased this CD yesterday (7/21/02).  This artist is absolutely the greatest female rock singer I have ever heard.  She is full of passion, pain and truth.  More artists should listen and learn from her and music would be so much closer to the heart of us all.  I listened yesterday while outside at a BBQ, but due to all the people around couldn't get the full effect of her lyrics.  However, this morning on the way to work, I listened and felt her very emotions blasting from my CD player.  She is incredibly real!  I am a happily married woman of 33 years old with a 13 year old daughter.  I do not judge people based on their sexuality preference, religion, race, etc.  My opinions of this CD are strictly based on the woman's talent as singer/songwriter.  Melissa Etheridge is truly worth listening to and I guarantee that if you have a heart or have ever felt the pain of love lost or love that could never be, then you will understand her music.

I've been waiting for more from Krystal Keith ever since her turn with father Toby on "Mockingbird".  I immediately took to her as a throwback star in the making (more Tanya Tucker than Carrie Underwood, in other words).  It took some time...but the results are worth the wait.  "Whiskey & Lace" runs the gamut from heartbreakingly beautiful ("Daddy Dance With Me", "Beautiful Weakness", to the sassy and fun ("Him and This Tattoo", "What Did You Think I'd Do"), and all the songs showcase Ms. Keith's terrific, potent voice.  The gospel-tinged "Down Into Muddy Water" is dynamic and infectious.

I have been listening to this CD nonstop all morning long, and it's proving a great way to power through the work day.  Whether you are a fan of Toby or not, Krystal is a genuine talent in her own right!

It seemed as though the music industry was rooting for her to fail. Many radio stations claimed she wouldn't last, and refused to play the (admittedly cheesy) "Moment like this" best-selling single.
Well, they can't deny her talent this time.
Kelly's album is truly amazing. I enjoy every track on this CD, and have 5 favorites! Normally I buy a CD and only enjoy 3 songs, then I get bored of listening to the same artist. Not so with "Thankful." Each song has it's own flavor. From the pop-sound of Miss Independent, to the truly beautiful "Just Missed the Train" (My favorite!)
Okay, yes, most of us already own the CD single "Moment like this" and "Before your love," but the other 10 tracks are quite honestly worth buying the CD.
Trust me, you will love this CD, just give it a chance!

She's a godess, and I can't stop listening to this song!  Beware, you'll be hooked on her instantly!  I highly suggest downloading her entire album, it's money well spent.  I'm now a huge fan!

This was my first cd by this pop/R&B giant, and it was definitely the BEST! Mariah Carey, the best-selling female artist of the 90s, is now my all-time favorite artist. The best songs on here are Heartbreaker(with  Jay-Z), How Much, X-Girlfriend, Bliss, Cant take that Away from Me, Against  all Odds, & well, every track is great! Mariah Carey is one great  person, inside & out. Not only are the songs great, but there's a  really good pic inside the booklet=)

This is by far the BEST Christmas CD to be released in the last ten years..Mandy Barnett is one of the most gifted singers to come out of Nashville, and it is so very nice to hear her on CD again, after a ten-year abscence. She puts her heart and soul into every song. The liner notes state that she hand-picked these tunes.."This Time Of Year" is outstanding!!The soulful'All I Want For Christmas is you" is just stunning..far more inspiring than Myriah Carey's version!!She sings the intro to"I'll Be Home For Christmas"which makes the song her own...
Run out to get this CD.Mandy sings with her own style,BUT I feel that if Patsy Cline had lived to record a Christmas CD..these are the songs she'd pick!!!Five Stars!!!!

My gracious, this lady has an absolutely GORGEOUS voice and she sings real songs that could easily get played on mainstream radio but she has chosen to represent for GOD! My favorite is track 10 (Praise him, praise him, praise him get your praise on), and the second to the last one is excellent too. She sings about real issues - divorce, temptation, "haters", as well as waiting on the Lord and praying. I love her style!

One interesting thing that I noticed, and it may not have been intentional, but at least a couple of the songs sound like a few secular songs that were twisted to have a holy message...The one about not yielding to sexual temptation sounded a bit like "Say my name" by Destiny's Child, the one about "getting your praise on" sounded like Missy Elliot's "Get your freak on". I wonder if that was intentional (if it was then the twist is interesting)... But either way, this is not to say the CD sounds unoriginal, because it is certainly creative.

It's worth the money, I would definitely get it if you're a fan of holy R&B (so-called R&P).

I heard Britt's new single on the radio a few weeks ago.  I was instantly drawn in by the lyrics, the sound, and the sound of her voice!!  She has the total package!!  This CD is awesome!  Love it!  Highly recommend!!  Mainstream sound, with an incredible message.

Awesome re-release! The track "When I Look At You My Love" was a sensational overlooked (by some) gem among others on the original release and a stellar moment in this womans' career and a favorite of Debbys.  Such poise and passion all at the same time.  Have followed Debbys' career since YLUML with the Boone Girls and solo but was not privy to the earlier tracks on this cd which is pretty cool to hear the transition from her earlier days to solo TALENT.  This cd shows the growth of Debbys' talent from her family releases thru the release of YLUML, family intact on some tracks. Subsequent solo releases thru the recent fab "Swing This" have shown Debbys' versatility, stamina and passion for singing and song!  Still a fan and always thankful for her voice in my ears. Bring on her other Warner Brothers releases on CD!  Debby your fans have been waiting!  We thank you!!!

I just had to pick this CD up just to own it. Her voice is too amazing for words. This is what a real singer is supposed to sound like. To me, she is up there with Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Kelly Price, Deborah Cox, etc. I also love the funky early 90's beats.
