Wonderful Compilation From The Guy Who Sang "Wildfire"!
This is a wonderful compilation of an artist who has done a number of interesting career turns since crashing onto the popular charts thirty years ago with the folk-country crossover hit, "Wildfire". Many of the songs included here were in a terrific album released early in the 1980s, with the hit song "What's Forever For" propelling it up the charts. Murphey is always delightful and surprising, and from a guy who has done everything from "Geronimo's Cadillac" to cowboy albums, this album is a provocative turn toward more contemporary music, which may be difficult to classify, but is absolutely impossible to resist. From the opening "Carolina In The Pines" to the intriguing "Still Taking Chances", Murphey's songwriting, singing, and arrangement talents are wonderfully showcased, and each of the songs provides an interesting look at the nature of contemporary lives and relationships as seen by someone with common sense, an earthy appreciation for the values of the simple life, and an ardent celebrant of life. Although I like all the songs included here, my special favorites are "Love Affairs", "Cherokee Fiddle", and, of course, the absolutely captivating "Wildfire, an absorbing word picture and fable all wrapped up in a memorable and evocative song. Believe me when I say this one song is worth the price of the album, and compares well to anything by James Taylor, Van Morrison, or Paul Simon. I love this album, and it is permanently installed in my new 100 CD player for my convenience. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

NOT THE ORIGINAL RECORDINGS!!!!
An earlier reviewer claimed that some of these titles were remixes on this particular collection. They are way more than that - they are RE-RECORDED!
And very pale compared to the originals.
Buyer beware!
A much better choice would be "The Ultimate Collection"
Twice as many songs and every one is original!

Caution - A Few Remixes
This CD contains similar versions to MMM's hits, some some have been re-recorded (e.g. Wildfire). If you're used to the hit mix, you'll be surprised; but the newer version will likely "grow on you"!
