Following Waylon in the seventies and Hank Williams Junior in the eighties, along came Travis Tritt in the nineties. The musical lineage is obvious to anybody familiar with outlaw country music, but Travis maintains the quality set by his illustrious predecessors.

This compilation covers the early nineties, which were also the most successful years that Travis had. He sang two main types of songs - heart wrenching ballads and hard rocking songs, both of which are well represented here.

The rocking songs include Put some drive in your country, The whiskey ain't working (with Marty Stuart), Country club and Trouble, a cover of the Elvis Presley hit. Among the ballads here are Here's a quarter call someone who cares, Help me hold on, Tell me I was dreaming and a cover of the fifties classic Only you and you alone.

This is an excellent collection of Travis Tritt's finest songs. If you enjoy the music of Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Junior, you will enjoy this.

What more could you want than a compilation of everything from rockin country to beautiful ballads by Travis Tritt? This CD has something to make you want to dance, something to make you smile, something to make you teary...I've seen Travis in concert and have tickets to see him again next month in Bangor (Maine). How many artists bother to come to "the little towns?" Not too many! Travis Tritt is one of a kind...

This collection has all of the truly essential tracks, although there are a few very strong album tracks that I would've liked to see included. (There's hardly a throwaway on his first four albums.) This is a great assortment of country, honky tonk, southern rock & ballads, but it's just a sampling of what you'll find on the individual albums.

As a typical old time country fan, I ignored Travis Tritt. He was too young, he didn't record back in the 50's, and besides, he wore his hair too long. Then I stumbled across "Sometimes She Forgets," which prompted me to buy his greatest hits album. Okay, I was wrong. W R O N G ! There, I've said it. Travis Tritt is all country and one of the world's finest honky tonk singers. Do yourself a favor and add this CD to your collection. I promise, you will play it again and again.

Travis Tritt is one of the most unique (and stylistic) singers to arrive on the "modern" country music scene. While not nearly as traditional as Dwight, and not as gifted guitarist as his cohort, Marty, Travis Tritt is one of the most recognizable, original, and true-to-form artist in our genre; his voice, although original, beckons back to the glory days of early Hank Jr and Conway Twitty....and throw in a little Greg Allman while we're at it. Personally, I prefer the traditional country sound, but will admit to occasionally dabbling in southern rock; and Travis has taken over where Bocephus left off in the early '90's. This album has a combination of his more rolicking "southern-fried" boogie numbers as well as some true honky-tonk classics. Not many artists have the ability to include hard driving rock-induced numbers as "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" and "...Drive in Your Country" along with such traditional songs like "Help Me Hold On" and "Sometimes She Forgets (a song written by a much thinner and literate Steve Earle)". And of course, there are the standard '90's fare of: "Drift Off to Dream", "Anymore", and "Tell Me I Was Dreaming". And, if that wasn't enough, his duet with Marty "The Whiskey Aint Working" is also included. Overall, A good album.
