A Collection Of Hits
I enjoy this compact disc very much. I wish it had some of her other hits on it too. [A purchase for a Kathy Mattea fan]
Good
This is a good CD, and would be a good introduction to Kathy Mattea if you are unfamiliar with her music."Love at the Five and Dime"..a song also covered by Nanci Griffith, is a great tune, also "Where Have You Been" and "Train of Memories" are great too!!
Brilliant eighties folk-country
In the late eighties and early nineties, Kathy's music based on traditional country but with folk influences, was extremely popular. This album contains ten of her finest and most successful songs. At the time of its original release, a European version was released with three extra tracks (She came from Fort Worth Texas, Come from the heart and Burning old memories, all from her Willow in the wind album) and a different title (Untold stories) but that has long been unavailable.Love at the five and dime was the song that provided Kathy with her breakthrough, becoming a top three country hit. It was followed by a series of other country hits including Walk the way the wind blows, Going gone, Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses and Where've you been, all included here. We can hope that one day, a full-length hits collection will be released, including the missing eighties hits and some of her nineties music too. Until then, this is the best introduction to Kathy's music. What it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. If you enjoy it enough, buy Willow in the wind to get the missing hits and other great songs.
