Decent greatest hits
Here is anther star who is around but doesnt get much attention. I love county from the 90s, as once stated in my Clint Black review. I use to listen to Joe Diffie but know when I look back, he really didnt have alot of good songs. His best song on this cd is Home. There are a few other radio hits on this cd but they do not age well with time. .


Good, but "Greatest Hits"? Not really!
The songs that he put on here are mostly good stuff. I admit, I like most of Joe Diffie's work. Songs such as "So Help Me Girl", "Third Rock From The Sun", "John Deere Green", and the best song, "Ships Don't Come In" are the best in his career, at least on this record. The problem is that there are quite a few certified hits that were not included. Those include "If The Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets)", "New Way To Light Up An Old Flame", and "Is It Cold In Here?" which were left off. These songs being left off are quite an injustice to this "Greatest Hits" package. Also, only one of the three new tracks are any good, that being "Texas Size Heartache". The other two new tracks were total throw-aways, being "Hurt Me All The Time" and "Pour Me". They are crap compared to the previously mentioned material. So for "Greatest Hits, Part 2" here's a suggestion. Put all your "Greatest Hits" on it. Second, find better new material instead of crapshoot throw-aways. It diminishes the overall quality of the album. If the producer won't do the extra work, find another producer who will do the record justice. Lazy producers only harm good music. I hate to give this three stars, but for a "Greatest Hits" album, this was really substandard. Better luck next time.


Great CD, but it also has one problem...
It must have some sort of weird format, because I can't get it to play in any of my three audio CD players (2 in vehicles and 1 Sony changer in house). Several years ago, I purchased this CD from a retailer. It plays great on my computer and that's the saddest part -- I can't listen and sing along in my truck! And there are so many great songs! I recently even bought another copy of this CD from Amazon, because they listed it as an "Audio CD" with no mention of the "additional Intranet Content" that plagues me and I was hoping it was a new version. Alas, it failed to work just as the original one had and was returned. Can't even make an audio copy onto a CD-R to solve the problem.
I wonder if others have had the same problem or am I the only one in the world with CD players that this disc doesn't work on!.


Good Greatest Hits CD with some great songs
I think he's one of the most underrated country singers along with Toby Keith. I've always liked Joe Diffie's music as long as i've been listening to country. It has all of his early hits and the 3 new songs are good too. But if you ask me, even if it wasn't a good album, I think any CD that has Ships That Don't Come In and So Help Me Girl are worth getting anytime.


This Is A Great CD.
He Is A Great Singer. I Like Joe's Songs Alot. I Like The Songs: Home, Ships That Don't Come In, John Deere Green, And Bigger Then The Beatles. That Is What This CD Lives Up Too!!!!!!.
