Too much of Cash's best work is left out to make this collection anything more than a cursory introduction to country's Man in Black. The double-CD compilation, fittingly dubbed The Man in Black, at least allows for some deeper exploration (although it lacks any liner notes whatsoever), while the outstanding three-disc Essential box truly allows you to sink your teeth into this legendary figure. Still, the songs that comprise 16 Biggest Hits do provide a telling snapshot of Cash's substance and style--honest, straightforward, direct music devoid of ulterior motives and delivered with conviction. --Marc Greilsamer

Awesome.......2007-05-03

I'm buying another, because a friend heard mine and loved it. It will be part of his birthday present. Johnny Cash is true classic country, and this CD reflects that.

Requested expedited delivery and received my order overnight with no problems. The CD is a very nice collection of Johnny Cash's oldies but goodies.

Very good example of Cash's work.......2006-11-04

Everyone in my family loves this CD. In fact, the kids keep asking for it whenever we're in the car. It sounds great and is a very good retrospective of all of his work.

Great Compilation From The Man In Black.......2006-08-08

This is an interesting CD. Even though the title proclaims "16 Biggest Hits" there is always a huge amount of subjectivity in choosing from a catalog spanning fifty years. In general I am very happy with the CD, and it's a great introduction to Johnny for people new to his music. The collection is from the "classic Cash" era, and while there are songs I wish were on the CD ("Orange Blossom Special" comes to mind,) as a collection I think it succeeds.

There is no possible way to pick sixteen tracks to represent Johnny's amazing career, but for a single CD this one packs a wallop. I am delighted with the increased popularity of Cash since the amazing biopic "Walk the Line," and I encourage people who appreciate great music to check this and all the rest of Johnny's music out!

Amazon.com

A greatest-hits package from an artist who thrived on concept albums is a frightening proposition. Even the liner notes refer to him as the "all-time #1 country album artist." To top it off, much of Nelson's best work--Yesterday's Wine, Shotgun Willie, and Phases And Stages, for example--was commercially unsuccessful (not to mention on a different label). While Red-Headed Stranger and Stardust did make commercial inroads, they're best digested as single entities. With all that said, these Columbia chart toppers, which span from 1975 to 1989, still make for enchanting listening. By illustrating Nelson in his various moods---pop standards, honky tonk, cowboy, folk, gospel---it provides a worthwhile introduction, and will help newcomers decide where to move next. --Marc Greilsamer

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful!!!.......2007-05-14

I bought this for my husband but fell in love with it myself. I had never heard of it but now consider Edvard Grieg my favorite composer. It is magnificent.

Relaxes your mind........2005-12-30

The peer gynt suite is very delicate and it relaxes me. Whenever I hear the first movement of Peer Gynt, I feel as if I am walking along the forest at dawn with sunshine passing through the tall trees. It calms me and I usually close my eyes to imagine Grieg's creative masterpiece. What also interests me the fourth movement. It starts with slow and quiet and then slowly the music accelerates with power. Like the title, "Mountain King," says itself, you can feel the grandness of the music toward the end.

The piano concerto in a minor is my favorite. This music seem to convey the full spectrum from quiet and delicate or gracious feel of music to more powerful and magnificent all proportionally adequately. It is very enjoyable. Whenever I listen to this music, I feel as if I am resting in the high mountainn looking at the full panorama. Anyway, that's just my imagination I feel from his music and of course, yours can be very different from mine.

As for the CD quality, I hear no distraction sound and it is recorded well, I think. The little cover booklet can be informative about Grieg. Also nice price from Amazon.

Relaxing music from a great composer.......2005-08-02

I absolutely loved the string music on Track 3. I remembered it from an old PC RPG called Quest for Glory IV. I was disappointed to find out that Track 4 was only a minute and a half long, because I grew up loving that song from the various places I heard it (Fantasia and a kid Detective PC game from the late 80's).
Overall, though, Grieg's greatest hits is a must-have for collectors of classical music. Grieg is revered as Norway's greatest composer of all time and he certainly has a knack for creating imagery of bustling fjords and majestic mountainsides with interlaced river ravines.

Better than just an introduction.......2004-04-28

This CD goes beyond just introducing Grieg. It is a truly beautiful and for me, invaluable collection of this excellent composer. Grieg had an inimitable gift for exploring emotion, often sadness and nostalgia. However, he also had a large touch of the virtuoso, as demonstrated by the famous Piano Concerto. True, the last 2 movements are not included here; however, the first is still stunning. The Peer Gynt Suites are wonderfully played, and Ase's Death and Heartwounds are especially noteworthy - the lush orchestral sounds of these gorgeous pieces unfold exquisitely. Homage March is a nice change of pace, upbeat and with a memorable theme, and Leonard Bernstein moves at a devilish pace in March of the Trolls. This CD will not disappoint you - buy it today!

Great CD.......2002-01-29

For an intro to Greig, this is great. The "hall of the mountain king" is done very well.

Amazon.com

Here's a career that defies explanation. Ray Price, the father of the Texas shuffle, achieved dance-hall immortality in 1956 with "Crazy Arms," with its walking bass; heavily bowed, single-string fiddle; and slightly tetched lyrics. He may never have topped it, but hits like "City Lights," "The Other Woman," and "Heartaches by the Number" proved it was no fluke. Price's big, mellow voice made country music sound erotic. Then in 1967 he threw away his honky-tonk reign with "Danny Boy" of all things, cut with a 47-piece orchestra. That one may have left something to be desired, but his 1970 reading of Kris Kristofferson's "For the Good Times" was certainly as earthy and compelling as Countrypolitan got. It's hard not to want more Harlan Howard and Hank Cochran songs, and less Jim Weatherly, but Price is as contrary as country stars come, and this set represents him accurately. --John Morthland

Good old country!.......2007-05-21

This CD was a joy to hear after so many years! All 16 of the great songs that made Ray Price famous. I loved hearing these songs again as only Ray Price could sing them: Crazy Arms; One More Time; Make the World Go Away; For the Good Times; I Won't Mention It Again; and You're the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me. In addition, Ray's version of Danny Boy is the finest I'd ever heard.
I enjoyed this so much, and will listen to it again and again. Thanks for the memories!

Ray Price.......2006-07-13

I had forgotten about Ray Price and the one song I loved that he sang, FOR THE GOOD TIMES. The CD starts out typically country then it turns a little more contemporary starting with FOR THE GOOD TIMES. It's a good CD to add to your country music collection.

A very nice collection of Ray Price's best........2005-09-25

Once again, an album offers a stroll down AM radio lane. The overall fidelity of these recordings isn't bad considering their age.

The country music fans love this CD... there's an innocence of years gone by here. Many of these songs haven't been heard since they slipped off the charts long ago. We have resurrected them at the shows to a full dance floor.

If you enjoy Ray Price's music, this is a nice collection. We recommend it.

I hope it helps.

One hates to break the supernal sounds of master rock & roll balladeer Roy Orbison down by numbers, but here goes: 16 Biggest Hits offers exactly what it advertises. Meanwhile, Rhino's For the Lonely: A Roy Orbison Anthology (1959-65) tops it with 18 Orbison classics, Virgin's The Very Best of Roy Orbison clocks in with 19 cuts, and the old standby The All-Time Greatest Hits of Roy Orbison, Volumes 1 & 2 tops them all with 20 hits. All four retrospectives are laden with recordings that have become rock & roll touchstones--"Only the Lonely," "Running Scared," "In Dreams," "It's Over," "Oh, Pretty Woman." 16 Biggest Hits is bargain priced, but its ho-hum packaging leaves much to be desired. --Steven Stolder

The Big "O".......2006-11-10

It seems strange to hear different versions of him singing these favorites. But, he sounds good, but the recording could be better. My CD player isn't HDCD equiped, so I don't know if their is any difference.
All in all, worthy to any Big "O" fan.

This is a HDCD, "High Definition Compatible Digital" CD.......2006-04-29

Perhaps the sound of this disc is so exceptional because it has 20 bit sampling instead of 16. The bottom of the back label discloses that it is a HDCD or High Definition Compatible Digital item. And, of course, Orbison's voice is outstanding as are his performances.

Clarity all the way- no lack of sound at all........2006-03-04

This set includes 16 of Roy Orbison's biggest hits on Monument Records, which he recorded between 1960 to 1964. I have about 25 Roy Orbison cds and this disc by far has the best sound, just crank up the volume on the ending of "Running Scared" or "The Crowd" and you will know what I mean. All songs are the orginal recordings, the best cd for the price.

Amazon.com

In the third decade of his career, already long famous, George Jones followed his new lover Tammy Wynette to Epic, where he offered his incomparable voice to her producer, Billy Sherrill. The singles Jones released with Sherrill--"The Grand Tour," "The Door," "He Stopped Loving Her Today," to name just three--elevated Jones from great country singer to living legend. This 16-track set skips far too many Jones-Sherrill highlights (and it oddly includes "Radio Lover," one "biggest hit" that was never a hit at all), but it's the only one-disc set to provide an overview of the team's entire 17-year partnership. From 1972's poignantly countrypolitan "A Picture of Me" to the grim humor of 1989's "The King Is Gone," no country music is as painfully beautiful as this. --David Cantwell

Sum up George Jones in one word? Master.......2007-06-27

I'm not a fan of country music, but have listened to George Jones for 25 years. There are few singers who capture the twang of true country, but Mr. Jones does (Dwight Yoakum is another).

This particular CD is my all time favorite b/c it combines his best songs. The ones that move you to sing along (or grab a box of Kleenex).

HOW can you beat these old hits?

1. A Picture Of Me (Without You)

3. The Grand Tour

Greatest living country artist.......2006-11-07

I saw Geroge Jones live recently and I was blown away. This guy is 75 years old and still sings like he was in his twentys! He fractured his wrist and had a cold but he still performed, something most artist wouldnt do. If you want to see real country, check out any of his records and you wont be disappointed. Greatest living country artist alive. No one will ever be able to fill his shoes.

A Fine Introduction.......2006-08-18

Though I've long known George Jones's name and reputation, I am fairly unfamiliar with his music. I enjoyed this CD as a good introduction to that man's resonant voice and honest song-stylings. The disc is also very good value for money. The only downside I can suggest is that most of the songs will probably be unfamiliar to listeners looking for "standards"--but that's my problem, not Mr. Jones's.

Yabba Dabba Doo The King is Gone and So are You.......2004-10-23

I Don't really know George Jones's music all that well, but ever since I was in Reno, and heard yabba dabba doo the king is gone, I have had this song stuck in my head, I love it. The king is gone is truely a red neck song, YeeeHaaaw, this song is awesome

Oh that voice!.......2003-06-13

George Jones embodies what country music is all about. There is something deeply effecting about his voice. His rich voice is also very comforting... in a strange sort of way. When you listen to George croon a song it's like slipping a warm, old blanket over your shoulders.
I guess his voice is comforting, in that you can tell George has felt pain just like we all have at one time or another.
This album is excellent. The 16 Biggest Hits series gives country music conisuers a good overview of some of the best artists of all time. George Jones is just that, One of the best!
The back of the album says that some people call George Jones, "The Rolls Royce" of country music. I would have to agree. In my opinion, "He Stopped Loving Her Today" is probably one of the best country songs ever. It's so sad and mournful it's almost melodramtic! The words of the song are haunting and memorable. Georges striking vocals wring the pain right out of the song. Once you hear it you never forget it.
There is much more great music on this album, too much to get into in this review.
Buy it... Listen to it... Live it along with George!

Album Description

There have been many highly successful duet partnerships in the history of country music. But no other coupling as lasting or has made the same impact as Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. Having met in the mid 1950's on various package tours, Johnny and June had a tumultuous courtships that yielded the greatest of all country marriages. Partners in life and in song, Johnny and June had some of the best duets like "Jackson" and "It Ain't Me Babe," collected here for the first time.

Wonderful CD.......2007-07-30

I have searched at length for the song "On the Far Side Banks of Jordan", and it's included in this CD. Their voices are young and when they were in their prime and it's an excellent CD.I enjoy all the selections on this CD.

Super collection of Johnny Cash/June Carter duets.......2007-05-07

I heard and loved "Far Side Banks of Jordan" from The Last Gunfighters vinyl album performed by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. The Apostle soundtrack had the song performed by the Carter Family but it's not as good as the duet. I was thrilled to be able to get the original on this new duet CD along with many other greats. It's a wonderful collection of their duets!

This CD is awesome! I already had 2 Johnny Cash Cds, but this one which features only duets that he and June did together is actually my favorite. All the songs are awesome! No music collection is complete without it!

Some GREAT Tunes, Some So-So, Bare Bones Packaging but Still a Good Duets Collection of Johnny and June.......2006-05-10

JOHNNY CASH & JUNE CARTER CASH: 16 BIGGEST HITS is a decent collection of songs, some are excellent, some are just okay. If the song list looks interesting to you, then you will probably enjoy this CD. This record company has a whole line of 16 BIGGEST HITS that they do for many of their artists, so this is the one for Johnny and June.

"Jackson" and "If I Were a Carpenter" are probably the biggest hits. "Long-Legged Guitar Picking Man" is similar to "Jackson" in how the lyrics have the two singers teasing each other for laughs. "Long-Legged..." is also the only time that the real Johnny and June are heard in the movie WALK THE LINE, as the final credits roll at the end of the film. "Far Side Banks of Jordan" is a nice, spiritual tune, not really Gospel, but it was quoted by Rosanne Cash at the funeral for June Carter Cash, and has very touching lyrical content about being reunited with loved ones after death. "The Pine Tree" and "Brand New Dance" are great songs which I never heard before getting this CD. "It Ain't Me, Babe" is also another famous song, but I kind of think the version from the film, sung by Joachin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, gives this song some stiff competition as to which sounds better.

There are a few songs that don't measure up to the rest, but the good ones can keep me listening for at least half of this CD, and then I might as well just let the whole thing play.

This CD is 45 minutes long, and the songs range in length from 2:15 to 3:35 minutes. The songs were recorded between 1964 and 1983.

It seems that the record company didn't do anything special for this CD release. The packaging is nowhere near as nice as many other Johnny Cash CDs, like his reissued, live, prison concerts, AT FOLSOM PRISON and AT SAN QUENTIN, or his earlier Columbia CDs like SONGS OF OUR SOIL and THE FABULOUS JOHNNY CASH.

The photo on the cover is the only photo, and the CD "booklet" only tells the song list with a few details of each song, like duration, writer, recording date, and when it was originally released. There are no liner notes to read like an essay about the CD, as appears in the other CDs I've already mentioned, which is a let down.

The WALK THE LINE SOUNDTRACK from the movie is pretty entertaining, if you enjoyed the music from the film, then you will pleased with that CD! But if you're like me, you will get the Soundtrack CD first, then get curious about what the original, REAL THING sounded like in the first place, which is why I have been buying Johnny Cash CDs lately.

If you are new to Johnny Cash, like I pretty much was before I saw the WALK THE LINE movie, then I would suggest that you start your Johnny Cash collection with THE LEGEND OF JOHNNY CASH, which has been incredibly remastered with super clear sound, especially for his 1950s hits, and comes with a nice CD booklet. But THE LEGEND does not focus much on the duets with June, so if its the June Carter duets that you are interested in, then this 16 BIGGEST HITS is definitely the way to go, as far as I know.

Johnny also did a lot of Gospel projects. GOSPEL GLORY is my favorite CD of Gospel tunes by Johnny, with guest appearances by June, the Carter Family, and many great, classic, traditional songs.

The DVD movie GOSPEL ROAD is great, and has Johnny narrating the story of Jesus, with Johnny appearing onscreen every ten minutes or so, and including a great cameo performance of Mary Magdalene by June Carter Cash herself--a true labor of love from the early 1970s.

My favorite project by Johnny Cash is his spoken word reading of the entire NEW TESTAMENT of the Holy Bible, which is affordably priced for a 16 CD set, check it out!

A great disc to own.....and, a word of caution.......2006-04-20

This disc comes highly recommend. OR, another containing the same material......however, not both [unless you are a 'completist'].

Found elsewhere on this site is a lovely selection of duets by Johnny & June -- title is simply "Johhny Cash & June Carter Cash - DUETS".

"DUETS" appears to be a nicely done re-packaging of the "16 BIGGEST HITS" disc found here. In fact, when I ripped this disc to my 'puter it came up as....uhhuhhh, you guessed it! '16 Biggest Hits".

Though it was relatively short, Johnny Horton's career may have been too broad based to make a bare-bones package like this work, but it sure comes close. Horton is best known for the saga songs ("The Battle of New Orleans," "Sink the Bismark") he scored with when Nashville latched onto the early-'60s folk revival. But the rockabilly set often claims him for the heated trucker's romp "I'm Coming Home," and his first hit was an uptown arrangement of the relaxed, swaying "Honky-Tonk Man." The main thing binding all his material was his smooth, flexible voice, which could go from a low, light growl to a high hic. It was also smooth enough that Horton could make the countryest material sound pop when he wanted to. This isn't the best introduction to his glory days, but it ain't bad. --John Morthland

Memorable Tunes Abound.......2004-11-03

Well, half of the tunes on this CD will conjure up pleasant memories for those around at the time of Johnny Horton's time in the limelight. "I'm a Honkytonk Man", "Sink the Bismarck", my classmates' favorite, "All for the Love of a Girl", "I'm a One Woman Man", the list goes on. Johnny Horton was married to Billie Jean Williams, Hank, Sr.'s widowed wife. Just a few years earlier, he had lived in Alaska which may have inspired him to sing "When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below") and the theme song to John Wayne's "North to Alaska" which I believe is his signature song. This CD recalls all those great songs of the 50s and 1960. Interestingly enough, the day after Johnny's fatal car accident November 4, 1960, John Wayne's old friend, character actor Ward Bond, died of a heart attack. This CD is recommended as it is an important tribute to the time.

Nice mix of his two major styles..........2004-09-22

Mr. Horton died too young, but the tracks he left behind are great to hear. Known first as a honky-tonk type country singer in the mold of Hank Williams, but often with a Cajun flavor, Johnny got really famous for historical saga songs such as "Battle of New Orleans." (See the CD of "Johnny Horton Makes History" for all of those.) Here there are five in that style, and 11 in the love song vein. All are worthy choices for a 40-minute sample of Johnny's vocal gifts. His is a voice I have never tired of, and I've been a fan of his since about 1960.

I love this man's voice!.......2003-10-27

Not only do I love this man's voice, I love the stories that he tells. I grew up listening to Johnny Horton and was absolutely thrilled to find this cd. Brings back warm fuzzy memories from my childhood.

Excellent introduction to Horton's hits.......2003-07-13

Enjoying Johnny Horton's vocal style and songs might be a learned taste, but once you develop it, it's a difficult habit to break. This genre of song is almost totally extinct today, but Horton was a master at the historical narrative put to catchy melodies. Who else sang songs about such historical events as the sinking of the Bismarck, Andrew Jackson and the war of 1812 or the Alaskan gold rush? Horton's musical style bridges the gulf of generations: it's easy to see a child loving these songs, or an elderly retired person.

Horton's plaintive wail in his songs is one of his trademarks, notice the way there's a tremor in the way he phrases, "*North* to Alaska," and in Jim Bridger, "Lift your glasses *high!*" Some amazing tenor notes in these two standards. This is a lovely collection of songs which are catchy and fun to listen to. They also bear endless repetition, it's hard to listen to "Battle of New Orleans" and not want to heat it endlessly repeated. Great stuff here.

Great Collection Of Johnny Horton's Greatest Hits!.......2002-07-16

From the time he captured America's heart with a rip-roaring rendition of "The Battle Of New Orleans" until his final release with "North To Alaska", Johnny Horton surprised, delighted and amazed us with his crossover country style, sung with a muted twang. Anyone who listened to his album fell in love with that voice, which was quite distinctive and quite a vehicle for everything he sang. From his plaintive "All For The Love Of A Girl" to a haunting rendition of "Whispering Pines", it was clear he was basically a very talented country singer, whether he was singing something very commercial like "Johnny Reb" or "Sink The Bismark" or something closer to his heart, like "The Mansion You Stole". He had a sense of humor, which he exhibited with songs like "When It's Springtime In Alaska, It's Forty Below". yet it was his range of subjects and versatility in terms of style that we found so attractive and so irresistable. Had he not left us so suddenly, taken from his fans so young, who knows what other treasures he might have left behind. Enjoy!

When I think of the piano, the first composer that comes to my mind is Chopin. Chopin was a composer who excelled in small form writing for the piano. He wrote beautiful melodies with complex accompaniment that was both challenging for the performer and enlightening for the listener. Chopin did not write many multi-movement pieces and what he did write is generally not as good as his solo piano pieces anyway (this is my opinion, not a fact).
When buying recordings of Chopin's music, there are basically two options. You can either go with a "Greatest Hits" type collection, which works very well with Chopin, or you can buy collections that assemble all he wrote for a certain form (preludes, nocturnes, etudes, etc...). If you are new to Chopin, I suggest buying a "Greatest Hits" collection, though not necessarily this one, even though this is the CD in my car right now. The playing is okay but it's nothing really that special. Considering all the masterful Chopin interpreters out there, such as Rubinstein, Ashkenazy, Argerich, Pollini, and Perahia, it seems silly not to start with a pianist that you really love, since almost every great pianist has recorded works by Chopin. Having said that, this collection contains almost all my favorite works by Chopin, my only complaint being I wish it had more than one nocturne. Thus it serves as a good introduction to Chopin's music. I would recommend the Favorite Chopin collection by Ashkenazy over this collection because not only is he an amazing pianist and a masterful interpreter of Chopin, but it's two discs for the price of one.

Good, not Great.......2002-03-02

Revolutionary Etude and many other performers are good. However, Fanastie Impromptu I've heard performed much better. Raindrop Prelude is played okay, but the song is so low in volume that I can hardly hear it. Good deal though.

Five Stars for Chopin.......2002-01-27

What can I say! This is a wonderful collection of music. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves his music.

Chopn's Greatest Hits.......2001-04-08

Not a good version of Les Sylphides (#17); which is only a 5 minute excerpt. Any other Les Sylphides pieces are sprinkled throughout the CD as piano.

Fantastic!!.......1999-08-15

Frederic Chopin is a very talented artist and composer. A must have of any Chopin collector.
