A best of by Garth Brooks is a nice CD to have if you are a fan of his music. He had so many big songs during his career. This now out of print "Hits" collection had all of his early chart toppers and have enjoyed it very much. The sound quality is good even though this compilation is now over 20 years old. A few years ago a 2 CD essential hits collection has been released with up to date remastering and twice the amount of songs. Since this CD is now out of print I recommend the 2 CD set of his best hit songs which is still available !
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I initially bought this cd because my brother-in-law asked me to look for it for him on Ebay. I found several for great deals and ended up buying two, one for me and one for him. I am a white guy who listens to Rock n Roll, Rap, Metal, and Alternative Music. My Brother-in-Law is what I would call a Metrosexual Mexican American who Listens to pop, latin, and other stuff. I was surprised when he asked me to buy this album, and after recieving his, I remembered how much I too Liked Garth Brooks and specifically the songs on this album and bought one for myself. This album is a great slice of popular Garth tunes and some of them still give me chills(ie "the River", & "the thunder rolls"). Even if you are a country music hater, like myself, you have to give credit to Garth Brooks and this album as he crosses the lines of typical country tunes and really connects with his listener on this album. Sometimes, I personally resist pop culture due to the fact that "everybody likes it", but with Garth and this album , you can't go wrong. If you are familiar with even just one song on this album, it is worth it to own it for the rest to see what you are missing. I played this album for my wife and she too now appreciates Garth Brooks and was pleasantly surprised by his music. He is the Michael Jordan of Country music. Even if you can't stand the twangy guitars and cowboy hats, Garth seems to make it ok, at least while your listening to him and his interpretation. I recommend this album to everyone.Read full review
This is one awesome CD! No longer produced and what a shame! Each and every song on this takes you back to the good old days when things were a bit simpler. The sound is excellent and you can blast it as loud as you want. Even so loud that you drown out those guys that like to bump their speakers with rap! This is the type of music that this country was built on... just good old country! Take it from just a good old boy at heart, you gotta get this one for your collection and remember... keep America strong and keep it simple. Mike Hanley
Having seen Garth live in New York City's Central Park a few years back I can state I am a very big Garth fan. And I did buy the later Garth Brooks Ultimate Hits CD. Unless you are a big fan and just looking at being able to have every of Garth's CDs you are probably better off going for the Ultimate Hits CD just released. This one though does have many of the best songs arguably of Garth's career that helped change and define country music during the 1990s.
I am a huge Garth Brooks fan so I want to start by saying that I love all his music. However, this CD offers the best of his earlier stuff! The CD quality is great and its all studio recordings!!! (NO LIVE STUFF, WHICH I AM NOT A FAN OF)! This is definately a CD you can put in your CD player and listen to from beginning to end. There is no need for me to list my favs since I love everyone of them, but I have to say Friends in Low Places, Rodeo, Calling Baton Rouge are some of my picks!!!
