Producers: Barry Beckett, Richard Landis, James Stroud, Blake Mevis. Compilation producer: James Stroud. Recorded between 1988 and 1995. A Tammy Wynette for the 1990s, Lorrie Morgan spends half her time wishing for her man back and the other half telling him she ain't taking him back no matter what he does. To wit, this first-rate collection of country singles opens with her suitcase packed, her taxi on the way, and Morgan telling her man, "You've got five minutes/To figure it out." One song later, she's kicking herself in the heart for ever letting him go. Jump ahead two years to song three, and she just about is Tammy Wynette--all painted up and singing a sprightly two-step about how after he left, "I learned a couple of new dances/Cast a couple of glances/I'm on a big roll now." One more song and, poof, she can't even imagine herself without him. This is the classic struggle of all styles of girl-pop, and what makes the difference are a voice you can believe and songs that snap. Morgan has both. Her voice is seductive and girlish, and, like Wynette's, sounds oddly right singing both painful ballads and spunky country-rockers. "Something In Red" is a true tear-jerker, a dramatically orchestrated ballad about a woman trying to seduce her loveless husband, and Morgan gives it the aura of a classic torch song. "Except For Monday," on the other hand, is a rocking celebration of freedom--your good girl has gone bad and she's never coming back--and Morgan is no less convincing there. The three new songs on GREATEST HITS trace a sort of mini-history of girl-pop, showing off the great flexibility of current country music. "Back In Your Arms Again" is an innocent want-you-back pop number that could have come out of the Brill Building in the early '60s. "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" has the breezy confidence of modern country-rock, and "Standing Tall" is clouded in the dark shadows of a vintage Patsy Cline ballad.

Reviews  Great Country Artist!Review created: 07/08/08 by:  With her gravelly voice and powerful delivery, Lorrie Morgan's Greatest Hits are great. I enjoyed listening to this CD as I drove to the mountains and I enjoy listening to it as I drive around town. I originally bought it for just one song (Something in Red) but I like just about every track on the CD. What surprised me though was I figured "Guess You Had to Be There" would have been on this CD but it wasn't. Maybe the song came out after this CD was compiled.

Report this review  "Greatest Hits" Are Great, IndeedReview created: 06/03/00 by: ByronSummers -- a member of Epinions Pros: Some of her best songs, three great new singles, one duet with <b>Keith Whitley</b> Cons: Only seven songs besides the duet and new ones were selected Lorrie Morgan's sixth album on BNA is a milestone which every artist strives for--a greatest hits compilation. Here three3 new singles, and even a duet with her late husband, Keith Whitley. Of the new singles, the first one on the album is track #7, "Back In Your Arms Again". Slightly reminiscent of oldies music, here is a song about a woman who has taken her man for granted for the last time. She wakes up one morning to find he has left her, and she immediately regrets that she had not been treating him the way he deserved. With the potential to be melancholy, the song instead has quite a... Review ID: 10000000000242861 Are you in the mood?Review created: 11/09/00 by: DebReid -- a member of Epinions Pros: 11 great songs Cons: nothing One question I have to ask before you listen to this CD is are you in the mood for a strong, powerful voice? Are you in the mood for songs mainly about a woman going after what she wants? Are you in the mood for songs about an independent person? Okay, I'll admit that was way more than one question. But I do feel all of those things when listening to this album. On it are 11 of what I consider to be some of Lorrie best songs. I guess that's why it's called a greatest hits huh? Songs on this album are these: 1.Five Minutes 2.Dear Me 3.Except For Monday 4.A Picture Of Me (Without You) 5.Watch...
