Customer Reviews

Most of the essentials
The Judds, with their great acoustic songs, were the heroines of traditional country fans in the eighties, and this compilation contains most of the essentials. As the title suggests, all these songs were number one hits in the country charts.

Of the songs here, I particularly like Mama he's crazy (in which a girl asks her mother's advice about a boy), Girls night out (a good time song), Why not me and Grandpa tell me about the good old days - just a few of the Judds classics included here.

One of many great songs that are not included here is Love can build a bridge, which is probably the song they are best known for in Britain. Perhaps it didn't make number one or perhaps the Judds had more number one hits than the record company were willing to include.

While this collection is far from complete, the sheer quality of the music here is undeniable. As such, it is a great introduction to their music, but note that full length CD's have previously been available in both Britain (Judds collection) and America (Essential Judds) so if you can obtain either of those, you won't need this.

a great CD
This is a great cd. Every song it is good and has that quality to it that makes you want to listen to it over and over again. Also it's a great CD to drive w/ as it's upbeat but mellow and has great instrumentals too. Not one song on this CD is bad. I really love Wynonna's voice in Have Mercy and Turn it Lose and the instrumentals in Turn it Lose are really good too. I would recommend this CD to anyone as it's a very good all-around CD and is one of the best #1 hits cds/tapes I've ever heard.

They are # 1!
Wynonna and Naomi hasn't made one song that I haven't liked. What and how they sing is a big part of why I listen to them. They are not only good singers, but they are VERY down to earth and they give a song their all, whether it's a soft song or a song that really rocks. This album is a very good example of their Judds work, however, since it only contains their #1 hits, many of their greatest hits are dismissed from this album. If you're looking to obtain a collection of their greatest hits, purchase the Greatest Hits volume 1 and 2. Otherwise, if you know Judd music well, you might be disappointed in that this is just another collection. (In this case, the 5 stars are reserved for the songs themselves contained within this CD). Very worth the purchase if you don't have their albums or greatest hits. I have all their albums and I still purchased this one. I have to say I'm still happy with it. :)
