![]() | Ropin' the Wind by Garth Brooks
Buy used from: $0.01 This is plain and simple the reason I started to listen and to like country music. The combination of county/pop songs with more classic sounding country bridged the gap for me.
|
![]() | The Hits Live by Sawyer Brown
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $2.12 I was never a die hard Sawyer Brown fan but like many of their hit songs. This is an example of a group that hits another dimension when playing live.
|
![]() | Born to Fly by Sara Evans
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $0.01 I had never heard of Sara Evans until I saw the video for "Born to Fly" and I said..."Wow, who is that?" Then I saw the video for "Could not ask for more" and I was hooked. In fact this CD is very solid from front to back.
|
![]() | Diamond Rio - Greatest Hits by Diamond Rio
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $0.84 This is another group that I grew to appreciate more after seeing them perform live. They are great musicians and the harmonies are out of this world...this CD is their catalog when they were at their very best.
|
![]() | Part II by Brad Paisley
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $1.99 K. Urban says that Brad is the best guitarist in country music...high praise coming from the source. This is the CD that got me hooked on B.P. "Two people fell in love" is one of my all time favorite country songs.
|
![]() | No Time to Kill by Clint Black
Buy used from: $0.01 "Put yourself in my shoes" was the song that got me listening, but this was the CD that got me really liking Clint and his dsitinctive voice. The first half is really strong.
|
![]() | Feels Like Today by Rascal Flatts
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $0.16 I think this is the best CD R.F. have put out to date. From "Feels like today," to "Bless the broken road," to "Fast cars and freedom" ending with the hidden track "Skin" that went on to be a mojor hit.
|
![]() | The Chase by Garth Brooks
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $0.23 This wasn't his biggest selling CD but I think its Garth's best. From the under-appreciated "We shall be free" to "That Summer." including hidden gems like "Learning to Live Again." This is a great CD.
|
![]() | Sweet Right Here by SHeDAISY
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $1.60 The gals get knocked as "Dixie Chicks Lite" but they are under-appreciated singers and song-writers..writing most of their own stuff. This is my favorite cd from them..."Don't worry bout a thing" is my favorite Daisy tune.
|
![]() | Golden Road by Keith Urban
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.82 This is the CD that exploded Keith. "Somebody like you" is an amazing lead song...one that gets you singing along. Then at the end you get "Raining on Sunday." Great CD.
|
![]() | Melt by Rascal Flatts
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $1.84 This offering blew RF into the mainstream. "These Days" is my favorite Flatts tune. There is also the title track, "Mayberry" and "Love you out loud" among the highlights.
|
![]() | Come on Over by Shania Twain
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.01 This is like the country version of "Rumours" or "Hysteria" There has to be at least seven charting hits on this CD. My personal favorite is the title track.
|
![]() | Take Me as I Am by Faith Hill
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $0.01 I remember when the video for "She's a Wild One" blew up. A great voice in a package to compete with Shania for the title of Queen of Country.
|
![]() | Keith Urban by Keith Urban
Buy new: $9.93 / Used from: $0.88 I absolutely love this CD. From "It's a thing" right through the very end. "But for the grace of god" is an amazing song.
|
![]() | Fly by Dixie Chicks
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $0.20 Maybe the only CD in recent country history that could take on "Come on Over" as king of the hill. The disc doesn't go more than one song without getting to another chart topper.
|
![]() | If You're Going Through Hell by Rodney Atkins
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.29 The title song is fantastic. This is a good debut CD with many catchy songs on it including the infectious "Watchin you"
|
![]() | Something to Be Proud Of: The Best of 1999-2005 by Montgomery Gentry
Buy used from: $4.73 Again here, I am not a die hard fan, but I am very fond of many of their songs. This is a good representation of their work. Many chart toppers...my favorite is "She couldn't change me."
|
![]() | The Legend of Johnny Cash by Johnny Cash
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $5.00 Though most of his work was done before my time...the music itself is timeless. This is a great representation of an amazing career spanning decades, from early stuff like "Get a rythym" to later collaborations with people like U2.
|
![]() | Mud on the Tires by Brad Paisley
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.32 Just another amazing CD from one of premier singer/songwriter/musicians out there. I think this might be his best album to date. Love the song "Ain't nothin like."
|
![]() | No Fences by Garth Brooks
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $3.00 Deserves to be here just for Country Music hallmark "Friends in Low Places." There is much more here than just that song...this CD started Garth Mania.
|
![]() | Taking the Long Way by Dixie Chicks
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.34 This is an amazing CD from a talented group that was ignored for reasons that have nothing to do with music. This is a fantastic collection of songs that the music industry as a whole recognized...allowing the chicks to thumb their nose at the C.M. establishment. They don't need them anymore.
|
![]() | Stand Still, Look Pretty by The Wreckers
Buy used from: $2.70 What an amazing debut CD. Great harmonies and enough hit records in there to make this a mmust buy CD.
|
![]() | Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $4.52 "Kerosene" was her big break, but the follow up CD is sensational. Miranda is very underrated. This is traditional sounding country with an edge!
|
![]() | The Best of SheDAISY by SHeDAISY
Buy used from: $6.14 If you haven't given these girls a listen and purchased the individual CD's start with this GH package. They can be funny, tender, crazy and heartfelt depending on the song. Great CD to drive the car to...not a bad song in the bunch.
|
![]() | Tim McGraw - Greatest Hits by Tim McGraw
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.97 I am going to cheat here and put Tim's two greatest hits packages on my list. I love some of his songs, but am not a big enough fan to go through his entire catalog like I would for someone like Garth. Solid stuff on these Cd's
|
![]() | Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 by Tim McGraw
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.50 See the comments for GH volume 1 package.
|
![]() | The Ultimate Hits by Garth Brooks
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $8.20 If you someohow have never heard of GB or were too young when he ruled music. Buy this compilation. If you get the chance, see him live...Springsteen is the only one better on the stage.
|
![]() | Wynonna by Wynonna Judd
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $0.01 Proving that there was life after "The Judds" this is the bluesy, country solo debut from Wy. My personal favs are "I saw a light" and "No one else on earth."
|
![]() | Greatest Hits by Jo Dee Messina
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.80 Another GH compilation. There are some very catchy tunes on this CD. The song that got me listening to Jo Dee was when I saw the video for "That's the Way"
|
![]() | Greatest Hits 1994-2004 by Terri Clark
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $0.84 I like Terri because of her distinctive voice, deeper than most of the women in country music. It is not on this CD but I love the song "She didn't have time."
|
![]() | No Shoes No Shirt No Problems (Bonus Track) by Kenny Chesney
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.50 This was the big breakthrough for Kenny Chesney. It is loaded with hits. "Young" is my favorite song on the CD.
