You don't have to get very far into Alan Jackson's splendid second anthology of hits before you're struck by how well the rangy Georgian has built his catalogue and how beautifully Keith Stegall continually produces his songs, filling the instrumental breaks with unexpectedly creative solos. While Jackson's choice of cover songs is usually inspired ("Pop-A-Top," "Little Bitty"), he's a deft writer, alternating his tongue-in-cheek, Sheriff Andy Taylor persona with his "just a singer of simple songs" earnestness, lacing it all with an unfettered delivery and a Haggardesque dedication to the bedrock honky-tonk sound. There are times when he edges too close to formula, running the romanticized, small-town, cornbread-and-chicken conceits ("Where I Come From") into the ground. But then he quickly redeems himself with a lip-tremblingly good "Drive" or "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)." This package consists of two discs, 16 hits and two new cuts filling the first and an unnecessary and somewhat inferior eight album tracks occupying the second. Of the two new songs, the emotional husband-and-wife ballad "Remember When" handily outdistances the too-trite "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" with perennial smart-ass Jimmy Buffett. Jackson's too good an artist to settle for such an easy reach, but hey, let's cut him a little slack. He's paid his dues. --Alanna Nash

 Alan Jackson music September 11, 2008
To start off with we are talking Alan Jackson. His music is great. The only thing that would of made it a better cd was if there were more songs.
 Great collection September 9, 2008
This is a great collection of some of Alan Jackson's best material. Almost all of the tunes here are worthy of a place on a "best of" collection. Only one or two could be considered "filler". I especially like the thoughtful musical arrangements supporting his material. Jackson really stands out among Country artists in his attention to musical details. This is really a "can't miss" for those who enjoy Country music, with appeal for pop fans as well.
 More hits August 29, 2008
I bet this guy will come out with a greatest hits 3, maybe even GH4 before he is done. He just knows how to write songs.

I am thrilled with the CD. I play the piano and purchased the sheet music to "Remember When". I decided to search the internet for the CD so that I could play the piano along with the CD. I have other sheet music that I have purchased CDs to play along with it.

I guess I'm now a big AJ fan!!
