Clint Black is often an amazing songwriter with one of the best pure voices in contemporary country music. However, since his impressive debut, Killin' Time, Black seems to have grown increasingly more attached to clever word play and abstract ideas than he is to emotion and narrative. And when the songs are as awful as "A Bad Goodbye" (an overwrought 1993 duet with Wynonna), who cares how good his voice is? The Greatest Hits collects, seemingly at random, 14 of his Top 10 hits released between 1989 and 1996, plus an album track and a live Eagles cover. However, it omits at least 10 singles from that period that were every bit as popular and, unfortunately, most of them were from his superior earlier years. Still, any album that includes "A Better Man" (a modern country masterpiece), "We Tell Ourselves" (an idea song that works), and "Put Yourself in My Shoes" (as good a male vocal performance as Nashville has heard in 15 years) can hardly be called bad. But it sure can be called disappointing. --David Cantwell

Customer Reviews

Great album
I grew up with country in the 90's. It sure beats anything that is currently playing on country radio. Alot of those stars are still around but dont get much attention for some unknown reason. I dont know why but I pulled out this cd and I cant stop listening to it. Clint Black is a great singer and I just recently found out he writes most of his music. His early stuff is awesome and is newer stuff is good but a little more less ballads Clint. Like ever greatest hits album, there are bound to be songs missing. My favorite songs are A Good Run of Bad Luck, Better Man, Killin Time, Put Yourself In My Shoes, Life Gets Away From Us All, and No Time to Kill. I think I just named half of the album but its hard to pick just one or two songs. All in all, a very great album from a fading star of the 90's.

CLINT BLACKS GREATEST
What can you say about his amazing voice combining with the talent of Wynonna Judd? This is an awesome cd.

great!
Clint Black is truly a great singer. This album showcases a good collection of his greatest hits. My favorites include "State of Mind," "A Good Run of Bad Luck," "A Bad Goodbye," "A Better Man," "We Tell Ourselves," "Life Gets Away," and "No Time to Kill." (not to put down the other songs of course) Any fan of Clint will find much to enjoy on this terrific album. I am very glad I bought it, and I knew what I was doing when I did.
