Joe Nichols is one of the best country singers to emerge over the past ten years. From 2002 - 2010, he released 14 great hits. This collection includes only 10 of them and no new material. Amongst the missing hits are the ballads "She Only Smokes When She Drinks," "If Nobody Believed In You," and "Believers," plus the gentle "Another Side Of You." So, not only is this hits set incomplete (and, at less than 35 minutes, awfully skimpy), it is heavily slanted toward his uptempo material. Yes, Nichols is great at the high octane songs, but his baritone really shines when he tackles serious, inspirational material like "If Nobody Believed In You" and "Believers." Until a full retrospective of Nichols' singles is available, I suggest you pick up his individual cds on the Universal South/Show Dog Universal label. Most are available for only a couple of dollars from Amazon vendors.
I love listening to Joe Nichols and I own all of his new song albums except for his Christmas cd. Normally I buy Greatest Hits albums along the way because they offer new music mixed in with songs I already own. That is not the case here. While I love all the songs on this collection, I already own all of them and there are no bonus tracks to make this worth buying for me. I am hoping that in the future he decides to release a Greatest Hits package that offers some unreleased bonus songs like Brooks & Dunn and Tracy Byrd did with their Greatest Hits albums. Unfortunately, because this album doesn't have any I will not be buying it. Sorry Joe.
Beautiful voice, wonderful songs, extra songs on here too that I had not expected ... highly recommend this CD! You won't be disappointed!!
I wanted that CD for quite some time, it arrived fast and I love it. Great music for good times.
Joe Nichols has a fantastic voice! This album has many great songs -- makes you want to listen to it repeatedly. Can't wait for his next album release!
