review by: Pete the music fan date: 2003-09-25 rating:
Superb collection of music by a unique singer
This is a very impressive set, containing most of Tammy's hits from her first minor country hit (Apartment number nine) to her last major international hit, Justified and ancient, though this track sits uneasily on this collection. Of course, if you don't like it, you can easily skip it as it's the last track.pThere are also a few previously unreleased rarities, best of which is Deepening snow. Like all Tammy compilations, this one misses out some big hits including (in this case) Run woman run, Reach out your hand and my favorite Tammy track, Womanhood. Still, this is still the best collection of Tammy's music yet released for the true fan. The missing big hits (and a few missing lesser hits) can be found elsewhere.pAs well as getting the vast majority of her classics from her first ten years, there are many of her best songs from later in her career including Another chance, Unwed fathers and several tracks from her acoustic album, Higher ground. Tammy also recorded plenty of covers and some of these are included, among these being Sweet dreams, Lonely street, You'll never walk alone (the best version I've heard of this famous song) and No charge. I've never liked No charge, whoever sings it, and would much prefer to have had Sweet music man, another song that Tammy did better than anybody else (even including Dolly and Reba, though they came close). pThis collection will appeal to everybody who enjoys Tammy's music but who wants more than a single CD can offer. I would have liked a fourth CD, which would have allowed all the remaining hits to be included and a few more choice album tracks. But this set is plenty good enough to be going on with.
