Album Notes Personnel: Lorrie Morgan, Keith Whitley (vocals); Larry Byrom (acoustic guitar); Dann Huff (electric guitar); Paul Franklin (steel guitar); Stuart Duncan (fiddle); Glen Duncan, John Hobbs (piano); Lee Sklar, Glenn Worf (bass); Paul Leim (drums); Jana King, Curtis Young, Curtis Wright (background vocals). 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  very good thanks you for having this cd i like lorrie morgan its hard to find older cds keep up the good work susan Review ID: 10000000008341465 Was this review helpful? Report this review Lorrie , Morgan Greatest hits Is Great.Review created: 08/08/08 by: I bought the CD for one song called "Standing Tall", it evidently was replace by the record company with a cover of "Don't Worry Baby". The menu on the player still shows the missing title but the song isn't there. Weird. It is a great cd from a woman with a singularly unique sound. No one sounds like Lorrie Morgan. The body of work collected on this cd goes from soul stirring to making me want to dance. (and I am not a dancer). If you love country music and female country singers the new crop of blondes can hold a candle to the often trouble singer. She has soul and it speaks in every sound she utters.

Report this review  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.
