5 out of 5 stars Certainly deserves a place in anybody's collection!   October 12, 2008
I am a latecomer in terms of discovering Jim Croce's music. He's hardly featured in my country. But... What a discovery? What a talented and gifted singer songwriter! Guess it must had been said countless times... but nonetheless let me add to the countless echoes of 'What a premature loss to the fans and world of music'! It has certainly been a pleasure to the senses listening to Jim Croce (and his partner Maury Muehleisen) and the lyrics especially after a hard day in the office. Such exquisite singing songwriting talent is hardly heard of nowadays. Thanks for the music, Jim.


4 out of 5 stars Very good   August 15, 2008
Good sound quality. All the Croce classics are here. If you're a "B-side" fan this is not for you but if you're looking for the "best of" then you'll be happy with this.


4 out of 5 stars Classic Croce!   June 27, 2008

Not only do you have the pleasure of listening to some of Croce's most popular hits like "You Don't Mess around with Jim", "Operator", and "Time In A Bottle" but other sweetly sublime tunes are included like "It Don't Have to Be That Way" and "New York's Not My Home". Of the 20 songs on this CD, not a single one is disappointing. Check out #19, "Salon and Saloon", a lyrical challenge which Croce pulls off with soulful grace.

This album was a lovely reminder of my youth in the '70s. It's a pity the world lost such a talented artist in his prime!

If you're a Croce fan, this collection has all the hits plus the favorites from his albums.


5 out of 5 stars The best single CD collection   February 6, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is the best single CD Jim Croce collection available. It includes nearly all of his hits (it is missing his "Chain Gang Medley") and some of his classic album cuts. Highly recommended!
