"I previewed the Greatest Hits CD at a local store, and ya know what? The first 6 tracks were all from this CD, Firefall's first. I didn't really care for much of the rest of the Greatest Hits. So many greatest hits compilations are filled with stuff I just don't want. I'll sacrifice having 20 tracks for a more limited number, like on this CD ... because it makes the CD a "play through," there's just nothing I have to skip!"
GREAT COUNTRY/SOFT ROCK ALBUM

"I recently acquired Firefalls " Greatest Hits " C D and so enjoyed the listen, that I decided to give all my Vinyl records of Firefall a listen again.This , their first album , brought together a group of excellent Country Rockers that sing great harmonies and play a mixture of country rock, soft and occasional hard rock - and they did it so well! I must say I`m surprised at the fact that only one Larry Burnett track made it onto their " Greatest Hits " C D , as there is a bunch of good songs by him on this album. LOVE ISNT ALL a strong ballad,NO WAY OUT a great rocker and a magnificent song CINDERELLA (which is on the Greatest Hits C D ) which has a great harmonica intro.Rick Roberts songs IT DOESNT MATTER ,LIVIN AINT LIVIN, YOU ARE THE WOMAN and MEXICO are all good tracks. In fact there are only two mediocre tracks. Looking at the composers it would appear that Stephen Stills ( Crosby Stills and Nash ) worked together with Rick Roberts a lot.I got a real warm feeling listening to this album."
Saving the best for first

"This is, by far, Firefall's best work. It contains the AC staple, You are the Woman, which is probably the worst song on the disc. The group does a great cover of Steve Still's It Doesn't Matter, Livin ain't Livin and Mexico are also outstanding. This is an outstanding album!"
One of the seminal late 70's albums - a must own

"We played this album until we wore it out! It is the kind of southern rock that we all listened to in the mid to late 70's. A classic hit. I still have the vinyl and play it, but I need the CD - I wore the record out! For a 1978 grad, this is classic make-out music!"
