Pro Reviews: Greatest Hits 2
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Diamond Rio released their first Greatest Hits in 1997 and Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 followed in 2006. Not surprisingly, it concentrates on the nine years between the two albums, although it does reach back to 1996 for "That's What I Get for Loving You" and contains no less than four new songs ("God Only Cries," "Redneck Love Gone Bad," "Over You," "In God We Still Trust"), which is a lot for a 13track collection. It also doesn't have every charting single they've had since the last Greatest Hits, but the missing tunes "I Know How the River Feels," "Stuff," "That's Just That," "We All Fall Down" either barely made it into the country Top 40 or didn't crack it at all, so they're not missed much at all. So, this winds up as a good overview of Diamond Rio's second decade, containing their big songs from 19982003 "Unbelievable," "You're Gone," "One More Day," "Sweet Summer," "Beautiful Mess," and "I Believe" which makes it a good supplement to the first hits set. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: Good summary of Nashville hitmakers past nine years.
Cons: Earlier hits still MIA.
Fifteen years after they hit -- the first group to top the country chart with their debut single -- Diamond Rio pauses to issue their second volume of hits. This is a complement to volume one (issued in 1997) and sticks primarily to hits minted in the past nine years. As a bonus, Diamond Rio's included four new songs, and, unusually, overlapped the first volume by once again including their first single (and #1), "Meet in the Middle."
; flavors its honky-tonk with a spark of rock 'n' roll. The four new tracks include the stellar low-and-twangy soap-opera "Redneck Love Gone Bad," the country-pop ballad "Over You," and the faith-based "God Only Cries" and "In God We Still Trust." The first of these, with its straight-faced lampooning and twangy production could appeal far outside the mainstream.
...
Like most of the group's music, the hits feature terrific singing, such as the soaring vocal power charging the childhood memories of "Sweet Summer" and "Wrinkles." The high-harmonies of "Beautiful Mess" are given a clever modern production twist, and 1998's "Unbelievable"
The band's song-by-song notes are a nice touch, and though the 13-song, 47-minute running length is average for major label hits packages, there's simply no way to account for the band's deep history at this length. Hits missing from volume one ("Oh Me, Oh My, Sweet Baby," "Sawmill Road" and "This Romeo Ain't Got Julie Yet") are still MIA, as are several favorites that charted into the 40s. No doubt they'll turn up on the eventual career retrospective box-set. For those who just want to skim the cream of this band's success, this is a great place to start after you get volume one. [
