Customer Reviews

It's all good but could be more complete
At first listen, I did not like Exile but after buying their Greatest Hits I was really taken in by their music-some of the most upbeat and very best of the 80's country music scene. I wish that performers in Country these days could posess the raw talent of this group that easily traversed both the pop (Kiss You All Over) and country music world. I enjoy every one of their songs and are one of the few groups I know that you can listen to all day. I just wish that all of their greatest hits could be on one CD. "She's Too Good To Be True"-a 1987 #1 Hit has become exceptionally hard to find.

Exile has had quite an influence on the music world: "The Closer You Get" and "Take Me Down" were originally recorded by Exile in 1980 and both became major hits for Alabama, "Heart And Soul" became a Top 10 Pop hit for Huey Lewis & The News and "It Ain't Easy Bein' Easy", penned by Exile, is Janie Fricke's signature song. It was a shame they broke up when they did, but undoubtedly JP was tired after several miserable years trying to make ends meet in the pop scene dumpster between "Kiss You All Over" and a 4-year hot streak on the country charts. After he left, Exile was never the same and forgotten in today's world of cookie-cutter, over produced Nashville pop-country (and they criticized "Urban Cowboy"?).

A Decent Collection from a Great Band!!
I began listening to country music about the time Exile switched from pop to country. I immediately fell in love with these guy's music. Their debut release is available on the "Hang on to Your Heart/Exile" CD; it was by far their best recording. However, you can catch a few of those songs ("Woke Up in Love" and "I Don't Wanna Be a Memory") and many other hits of theirs on this Greatest Hits package. I loved all these songs back in the day, and now, I still find them enjoyable. If you like this release, check out the recommendations I made. I would suggest two others, but they aren't available anymore, which is a shame!!

Nostalgic
This CD makes me wish I were back in the '80s experiencing when this music was becoming popular. This group's carefree, light, laidback sound pretty much epitomizes country music of the mid to late '80s. From "Woke Up In Love" to "She's a Miracle", this CD is replete with easy to remember tunes that most of us probably danced to with our girlfriends (or boyfriends for those readers who happen to be women) or significant others when we weren't otherwise occupied with them. I can't imagine a country music aficionado not being interested in this one.
