Search - John Anderson :: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2

Good CD

"Somebody should've got away with the opening track. Once past that, this is a fine CD. There are a lot of good, solid country songs (what else would you expect from John Anderson? ) There's slower tunes like the melancholy "Down in Tennessee" and "I Wish I Could Write You a Song". And then there's the rockers such as the hit "Let Somebody Else Drive" and a pull-out-all-the-stops cover of the Rolling Stones tune "I Used to Love Her (but it's all over now)"."

A few hidden gems

"First off, forget the generic artwork and the almost non existant notes. This release is worth getting for 2 songs. One is "Down in Tennessee." This song is the masterpiece John Anderson should be remembered for. Unfortuately, it wasn't much of a hit and is mostly forgotten these days.The other song is "Let Somebody Else Drive." It is one of those songs you don't realize you have heard until you hear it. It was a staple on country radio in the early 1980's. It really should have been featured in the first Greatest Hits collection, but I guess they needed to leave something for a volume 2. Which is probably a good thing, since Anderson hits dried up, as did most of his creativity, towards the later half of the 80's."
