CD Reviews

The Best Croce Compilation Out!

michaeldg29 | Larchmont, NY United States | 12/17/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is by far the best Jim Croce compilation ever made. It has 50 SONGS ON TWO DISKS! What more could you ask for? All of Jim's songs were true classics, and if you loved his hits such as "Operator" and "Don't Mess Around With Jim" you'll fall in love with these Cds. This collection defines the man and tells many stories of life on the road and life in this country. The melodies are very catchy and many of the songs are upbeat (many people don't expect a lot of upbeat stuff from Jim). Jim is a very skilled songwriter and guitarist with a unique voice. The collection captures the full perspective of Jim's career, including songs from his earlier Ingrid&Jim days. Hope this review was helpful!"

Buy 50th anniversary collection instead

Alexander Supertramp Jr. | On tour | 02/20/2006

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The one really good song not on '50th' that's here is 'railroad song' ('country girl' is also pretty good) but '50th' gives you 'king's song', 'vespers', 'spin,...' 'cigarettes...' 'salon and saloon'. The others found here but not on '50th', 'circle of style' 'carnival of pride' 'wear out the turnpike' and 'can't wait' certainly aren't his best (early duets with his wife). So that comparison favors '50th'. The track order on '50th' is also chonological whereas this one isn't and frankly makes no sense at all, so if you buy this you won't get to hear the evolution of this unique music--something very apparent on '50th' and interesting to hear.

'Railroads and Riverboats', another superb American History song, keeps getting left off compliations. No different here or on '50th'. But both that one and railroad song are on 'Facets', which--save the songs I mentioned--is a bit of a waste."

Unbelievable

"An amazing collection. Just look at the track list...50 songs on two discs by one of the best singer/songwriters ever to make it big on the charts. I had the added bonus of finding it at a store in LA for 13 bucks, which I now find out is about 10 bucks cheaper than the suggested cost...I'm not sure if they mixed it up with the domestic release or something. But thats not important. This collection is just an absolutely astounding 2+ hours of music, everything from the big time popular tracks (Operator, Bad Bad leroy Brown) to the humorous gems (Roller Derby Queen) to the selections with Ingrid Croce. Without a doubt, one of the best CD purchases I've ever made"
