Additional personnel: Tim McGraw. Six albums into her career, Faith Hill already has more than enough hit singles to fill a best-of album, so this 13 track compilation is a fine summation of her career up to 2007. Containing seven number-one country hits, many of which crossed over to the pop charts, HITS is a fine argument for Faith Hill as one of the top country singers of her time. From pop crossover smashes like "This Kiss" and "Breathe" to more traditional country songs like "Mississippi Girl" and "The Way You Love Me," HITS is a solidly entertaining listen. However, for good measure, HITS also adds three live songs--the Janis Joplin standard "Piece of My Heart," "There Will Come A Day," and "Cry"--as well as one solid new single, "Beautiful." Tastefully packaged and intelligently sequenced as well as musically unbeatable, HITS is a textbook example of how to do a mid-career best-of collection, and is far more listenable than the average uninspired cash-in. DVD Features: DVD features include: Music videos for: Mississipi Girl Cry The Way You Love Me Breathe The Secret Of LIfe Let Me Let Go Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me This Kiss It Matters To Me Piece Of My Heart Wild One

I love Faith Hill and got every album from her and I know I should not be griping then right? BUT HOWEVER! this is her 1st greatest hits package and should have celebrated it BIG TIME by gathering ALL and I mean ALL of her hits including "hubby" Tim Mcgraw (duets) and including ALL the videos also.This is how it should have been

2-PIECE OF MY HEART

3-TAKE ME AS I AM

4-BUT I WILL

5-LET'S GO TO VEGAS

27-THE LUCKY ONE

28-STEALING KISSES

29-I NEED YOU (WITH TIM MCGRAW)

30-LOST

31-RED UMBRELLA

DISC 3 would be all of the video clips and I know for a fact every one of these songs has a video for it "ALTHOUGH" 3 of them such as "when the lights go down""stronger"and "there will come a day" were all live versions of the video clips and "there will come a day" would have also made a good song on the album. I understand "LOST" and "RED UMBRELLA" are not released yet but would have been an AWESOME combo between CD/DVD and would have been worth the wait! Faith does deserve better due to the 14th year career she's been in. Take Care,Dan

A collection of all the songs of her best hits. A truly wonderful masterpiece.. It is a wonderful tribute to her voice.

My opinion, song by song:

1. Red umbrella (4/5)

2. Stronger (4/5)

3. Lost (3/5)

4. Mississippi girl (5/5)

5. Cry (5/5)

6. There you'll be (4/5)

7. The way you love me (4/5)

8. Breathe (5/5)

9. The secret of live (5/5)

10. Let me let go (3/5)

11. This kiss (3/5)

12. It matters to me (5/5)

13. Piece of my heart (4/5)

14. Wild one (4/5)

15. I need you (5/5)

As for the DVD, I think it's worth it. Not only for the videos itself, as for the evolution you can see of Faith (and ourselves!).

In brief: I do highly recommend it.
