Billy Dean Album: “Greatest Hits”

This is his best hits!! I love every song!! If you love Billy Dean buy this cd!! You won't be sorry! All of his number 1 hits all rolled in one great cd!!

Billy Dean seems like one of those guys who writes good songs, but can't manage to make it as an artist in the mainstream. Although he had a number of hits, he never really positioned himself as one of country music's elite. Six of the songs on this album weren't written by Mr. Dean, but he makes them his own. "Somewhere In My Broken Heart" is a good song, but it doesn't draw the attention that a slicker, though less talented, song done by a guy like John Michael Montgomery would get(By the way, I'm not picking on Montgomery, his songs are okay, but I think that Dean is so much better). I don't understand this reasoning. Dean deserves a lot more respect than he has received.

Anyway, listen to this album if you like your country a little more on the mellow, folkish side. "Only the Wind" is a great track on this disc. "If There Hadn't Been You" has probably been played at a wedding or two. The standout on this album is from the "8 Seconds" soundtrack(Somebody say Luke Perry). "Once In A While" will pull on your heart whether or not you've seen the movie or even know who Lane Frost is. This song will make you cry. As a matter of fact, watch "8 Seconds" and wait till the end to hear this song. It will get you, I promise.

Buy this album, you won't be dissatisfied.

this cd has some of my most favorite songs "only here for a little while and you don't count the cost

Billy Dean performed at a memorial for my brother in law over Memorial Day. He has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard! So smooth, melodic and powerful. He's also a great guy-personable and kind. Very good looking too! ( : CD is a perfect mix of his songs. CD case was damaged-bought used, but actual disc was fine.

Billy Dean's Songs Mean Alot To Me Like 1991's "Somewhare In My Broken Heart", 1992's "Billy The Kid", "Only The Wind" And "If There Haden't Been You". This Is Great To Have For Your Collection.
