4.0 out of 5 stars Strong But Incomplete, Sep 2 2002

By	Chris S. "cscotts" (atlanta, ga United States) - See all my reviews

Lorrie Morgan was one of the more popular female artists during country's early-to-mid-nineties heyday, though she never quite reached the level of fellow artists Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood or later, Shania Twain or Faith Hill. The blame seems to lie not nearly as much with the music as the offstage drama that seemed to constantly accompany her. Which is a shame, considering that Morgan's voice had alot of the country elements found in classic singers like Tammy Wynette--Patty Loveless and Lee Ann Womack are the only other contemporary females who have that decidedly "country" sound in their vocal work. That said, this first compilation squanders some opportunities--several of her first-rate singles are here('Five Minutes','Something in Red'), and she recorded the best Wynette song not recorded by Wynette in 'A Picture Of You(Without Me)'. But there's also several omissions, chiefly the superb 'Out Of Your Shoes' and the equally great 'We Both Walk'. And of the three new tracks, only 'Standing Tall' is in direct correlation with Morgan's talents--both 'I Didn't Know My Own Strength' and the shuffling 'Back In Your Arms Again' squander her vocal skills. Overall, the preponderance of strong material manages to offset the lesser songs and the set's incomplete nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great talent, Aug 27 2002

By	Burritoman "burritoman" - See all my reviews

I don't think there was ever a more wasted opportunity than the gifted Lorrie Morgan in country. She seemed to be more interested in attaining her fame by discussing her often sad relationships with the men in her life than her music, which in any case often came across as an afterthought. It's too bad, because for a few years in the early '90's she was one of country music's hottest stars, and she had every potential to keep that momentum going. After all, she was prettier, and had a better voice than any of her contemporaries; plus she definitely had better songs, as is obvious from this pretty strong compilation. But by neglecting her art, she left the field wide open. While Shania Twain did much the same thing later on, Faith Hill has shown them both up in the years since. It's a shame, really, as Lorrie has always had an extraordinary talent. She just didn't have the direction she needed. But she is a great artist, or at least was, and this is a very substantial example of just how good she could be when left alone at the mic with a song.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Best, Jul 21 2002

By	J. M. Zuurbier (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have to agree with one of the reviewers that said that Lorrie sings with a passion that not every artist possesses, this is true. GREATEST HITS includes some of her biggest hits and some new tracks as well. I believe Lorrie always has possessed a spunk and exhuberance that most artists don't, as well she shows a tender side on her ballads. "Five Minutes" and "Except For Monday" show a spunk in the lyrics that she handles extremely well. The same could be said about the tongue in cheek song "Watch Me". Probably one of her most memorable songs is the ballad "Something In Red" which became one of her biggest hits and instantly a classic. She also does a duet with her late husband Keith Whitley on "Til A Tear Becomes a Rose". Some new tracks include the 60-ish "Back In Your Arms Again", very reminiscent of Beach Boys type music. My favorite though is "I Didn't Know My Own Strength", a upbeat inspirational song about picking up the pieces after a relationship has failed, and moving on, not knowing you had the strength to do it. Overall this is a good set to own, a more complete collection is her 2000 collection TO GET TO YOU, but this is worth it for the new tracks, and other hits which didn't make the other compilation.
