Album Description 2007 compilation from the ground-breaking singer/songwriter who helped create the Country Rock sound as well as had a hand in the Laurel Canyon Soft Rock scene as well. Co-writing Eagles hit singles and forming Souther Hillman Furay with former members of The Byrds and Poco may have put his name in lights, but his oft-overlooked solo career is what is chiefly on display on this excellent collection. 19 tracks including two with Hillman and Furay and two with long-time friend and supporter Linda Ronstadt.

CD ReviewsA great introduction Friendlycard | Norfolk, UK | 10/19/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "JD Souther has long been known to afficionados of West Coast music as the writer of a string of hits for others, and as a superb performer in his own right. Hits written or co-written by Souther include several Eagles tracks ('New Kid in Town', 'Best of My Love', 'Heartache Tonight', 'Victim of Love') and others recorded by artists as diverse as Linda Ronstadt, George Strait, Glenn Campbell and James Taylor. The enduring appeal of Souther's compositions is underscored by the Eagles' choice of a Souther song for the first single off their new album. This compilation of his own recordings, together with an excellent new EP ("Possible Weather") and a forthcoming new album (his first since 1984), should give his music the higher profile that it so richly deserves. The tracks on this album have be taken fairly equally from Souther's four solo albums, with two tracks from each (of two) outings with the Souther Hillman Furay band. Inevitably, as with any compilation, some fans will find some surprising ommissions but, in Souther's case, this is largely a reflection of the sheer quality of his back catalogue - this could so easily have been a double CD. Given Souther's reputation as a song writer, it should be stressed to any potential purchaser of this CD that he is also an outstanding performer, as anyone fortunate enough to have taken in his 2007 UK tour will attest. This album can be very strongly recommended. If you enjoy it, your next purchase should be 'Black Rose', a superb solo effort released in 1976." Best Of ..?????? Erik | Norway | 10/22/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "Allright - finally a best of ... from the "sixth" Eagle: J.D.Souther. BUT I just rate this item 3 stars because someone has missed out quite a few gems. Where is: Kite Woman, Prisoner in Disguise, Doors Swing Open,Simple Man, The Last In Love, White Rhythm & Blues, Night, Step by Step, etc..etc..! A volume 2 on the way ? He's got a new EP out these days, great songs. Looking forward to his new album - out next year." Pretty good. Jack H. Hopkins | Longview, TX United States | 05/14/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "This is a pretty good collection of Souther's songs, although a number of good ones are missing, including Prisoner In Disguise, Out To Sea, Simple Man Simple Dream and others. Till The Bars Burn Down should not have been included in my opinion. Still better than his new album. And Amazon Dot Com, the lead track is called White Wing, not White King."
