Alan Jackson - Super Hits (CD)

All Music Guide

For most fans, it's inconceivable to have an Alan Jackson hits collection without "Chattahoochee" or "Don't Rock the Jukebox," neither of which are on the budget-line compilation Super Hits. And that, naturally, is a problem for the casual fan, the kind who would buy a budget-line disc expecting that their favorites would be present. That's not the case with Super Hits, which shares only four songs with the exhaustive 20-track Greatest Hits Collection. Those four songs -- "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow," "Who Says You Can't Have It All," "She's Got the Rhythm (And I Got the Blues)," "I Don't Even Know Your Name" -- are among Jackson's best and the remaining six songs (all album tracks, except "Must Have Had a Ball," a hit from the post-Greatest Hits album Everything I Love) are good as well, but this collection simply doesn't deliver the hits it promises. Taken on its own terms, as a random sampling of nine songs from Alan Jackson's catalog, it's entertaining and possibly even a bargain fo...r listeners on a tight budget, but most fans are much better-served by the definitive Greatest Hits Collection. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less
