Huey! . Love this cd, Huey rocks! The only gripe I have is that the very end of the song Cruisin is cut off, it is cut off too early.
All songs edited
The songs selected are very good it has something from every album but the Plan B album. Here is the good about the album: The songs are great. The remastering is good too. I have all the albums and loved them as a kid growing as I do now in my 30's. It's great to have them all together. Also I will say kudos for including Back in Time from B2F soundtrack. The Crusin' song is on there too (edited).
Here is the bad:
The fact that they crammed all 21 of them onto 1 cd stinks. All the solos and great instrumental parts of the songs have been taken out. They should have done 2 discs in order to include the complete songs. I still have the time flies GH from '96. It ony has 12 songs as I recall but they are unedited and the complete versions of the songs. So I'll hang onto that. I realize they cd is 80 mins with 21 songs this is great but with the solos gone it's not a great as it could have been.
Great cd
This one has all my favorites on it and is good listening. I bought this after seeing Huey Lewis and the News perform live. If you get the chance to see a live performance I highly recommend it. He does not disappoint. This cd pretty much mirrored the live show. .
Crusin is not the "Duets" version, it's shorter!
It's a shorter edited version that seems to just fade away in the middle of the song. Just want to make folks aware that if you are expecting the full "Duets" version of Crusin', don't buy the one on this album.
HLewis and News
I had ordered this for a family friend and she received it in good time and she hasn't said anything bad about it so I assume it is good.
