live versions of hit songs are frequently post-nutritive stuff compared to the original
However, the current CD substitutes live versions of "Tennessee River" and "My Home's in Alabama" for the originals, an inclusion/exclusion which substantially disappoints. The album presents with the same cover and (apparently) songs which I had on the tape years ago and which my wife and I considered one of the best. Live versions are never as good as the original principally because the same mix cannot be achieved nor can the same voice inflections be duplicated. In addition, live versions frequently feature band members yelling and screaming to audiences which further diminishes the quality of both song and memory -- and with the album discontinued the powers that be have no opportunity or incentive to rectify such a monumental mistake. It is only the integrity of the remaining original eight hits (which are great)that allow me to give this album even three stars. Such impulse dyscontrol and third parties make this album a "memory that still upsets you" and make of buyers "old memories before too long. " .


Alabama - Greatest Hits
Buy it. Great CD. This purchase was my second copy. My wife and I broke the first one.


I love these guys
Mountain man and all there songs like There Are Angels Among Us, all are played from there hearts. When you go to a concert with them they get you pumped up. Great job you guys.


Best "ALABAMA" album recorded..
This is also one of my favorite albums that I own. This is probably the best "ALABAMA" album recorded. I bought this album when I was a teenager, and my favorite song was "40-hr Week (For a Living)". . I really didn't appreciate the song until I became an adult and started earning a living on my own. If you are a true "ALABAMA" fan, you MUST have this one in your collection!!!.


Alabama's best compilation other than For The Record
It has most of my favorite Alabama songs such as "Mountain Music," "My Home's In Alabama," and my favorite Alabama song of all time, "Love In The First Degree. This is definitely Alabama's best greatest hits album in my opinion, other than of course, For The Record. " It also has other familiar favorites such as "Why Lady Why" and "Old Flame. " With this greatest hits album, Alabama proved why they were the first great country music group and why they were and always will be an inspiration to many country groups for years to come.

If you just want a short collection of some of Alabama's best songs and most popular hits, I recommend getting this album. But wait, there is one thing that you might not know if you're thinking of buying this album off the internet. Some of the songs such as "My Home's In Alabama" and "Tennessee River" are live songs, instead of the ones that you hear on the radio. I know for most people, that might make this album even more valuable, but myself, I would rather have the radio version of any song before I would want the live version of it. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.
