Mindy McCready Album: “Super Hits”

Mindy McCready came onto the scene in the mid-nineties as one of the more promising female vocalists on the country scene(right around the same time as JoDee Messina). While Messina went onto to garner even more prominence with each album,McCready,inexplicably, seemed to go in the other direction after her promising debut. It's a shame, because her sophomore effort easily equaled her debut(if not bettered it), and both are well-represented here. There's also a track from her unfortunate third release('Over and Over'), which about less said the better. Among the highlights here are 'Ten Thousand Angels', the superb Matraca Berg composition'Oh Romeo', and a cover of Linda Ronstadt's hit 'Long Long Time', which is far better than I'm sure anyone would suspect it to be(and probably her richest vocal work to date). All in all, a great complilation that hopefully won't signal the last we hear from McCready.

This CD includes Mindy's best from her first two releases on BNA Records, plus "Over and Over" from her third CD. Every track is essential Mindy, including her debut hit "Ten Thousand Angels"; her duet with Richie McDonald from LONESTAR, "Maybe He'll Notice Her Now;" and "You'll Never Know." This super country performer sings songs that are upbeat, slow, full of joy, sass or sorrow, and SUPER HITS covers all of her style. A must own for every Mindy fan, and every country music fan!

Mindy's songs have always been kinda of unique to me, sounds like she is a cross between JoDee Messina and Reba. Im waiting for her new self titled album to come out because I have heard a few songs from it already and from what I hear its going to be good. Buy it if you are a fan like me.

Such a great CD! So sad to think this beautiful young lady is now gone. She had such a gorgeous voice~

While many country acts today tend to incorporate pop rythms into their music, Mindy has faithfully remained with the way of old country standards. This is a great disc for those just getting interested in her work, it includes great songs like "10,000 Angels," "What If I Do," and "Guys Do It All the Time." All of these were major country hits, of course you've heard them. Now you need to own them. Despite the numerous references to red dresses, I think you'll find Mindy McCready's Greatest Hits an essential for your country collection.
