Music reviews of Greatest Hits II
Music Review: Excellent, Once Again!
Rating: 5 Stars
For those who have read my previous reviews, it's no secret that I am a big fan of Kenny Chesney's music. So, it's hard to take an utside stance while reviewing this album. So, I'll just review it as a Country compilation, instead of a Kenny Chesney compilation.
As with His first Greatest Hits album, Kenny had his hand in this one, as opposed to just letting the record company put somthing out with his name on it. That always seems to make for a better retrospective.
Once again, it does not simply include all the singles from the period, it is only the very biggest and best songs that we've heard on the radio, with some new tracks thrown in. The hits that are included are huge songs. Either number one's or songs that saw very significant radio play. In regards to these tracks, you can not go wrong. Anyone can say "Why didn't he include this one?" But that's just the way it goes with these types of releases. Even i have favorites that weren't on here, but for what it is, they really shouldn't be. This is intednded to be a CD for the casual or new fan to pick up as astarting point for Kenny's music, and for that it does a perfect job. It sums up the second part of his recording career perfectly.
As far as the new songs, there are no filler songs. They are all radio worthy, and for the most part, they have become huge stand-alone hits themselves. Kenny only records songs that he loves, and that fit him perfectly. None of these new tracks are a stretch for his voice or lifestyle. Even when he's not recording his own songs, he knows who is is, and picks songs that sound as if he could have been the only person to write them, or were written specifically for him.
As for the controversy surrounding the re-release of the album with two more songs, it happens all the time in the music industry. These are songs that would not have fit the style of his next album, so instead of just releaseing them as singles, that would be impossible to find on a disc in a year, they put them on something tangable, and released it again. I believe this was a smart move for him and the record company, and allows his fans that aren't fully digital to have these great tracks in their collection.
Bottom line is, there are a handfull of perfect compilation albums out there like Def Leppard's "Vault," Van Halen's "Greatest Hits Vol. 1," Ozzy Osbourne's "The Ozzman Commet," and so forth... This one is right in line with these. Like I said, it doesn't include every song that every fan would want to hear, but it does have all the songs a partial career retrospective should have. Enough to wet your tastebuds, and find out what else the artist has to offer, and enough to cover all the biggst songs from "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Probems" Through "Poets and Pirate."
Great job Kenny, and great job BNA Records.
