2 chunks of COAL in this otherwise GOLD collection

"The only 2 chunks of coal here in this collection are the Barbra Mandrell and Johnny Cash mixes. I do love Johnny Cash, but this particular track is not worthy to be on a gold collection. That goes DOUBLE for adding the B.M. track!
If they were going to do this, the Oaks backup with George Jones on
"Still The Same Ol' Me (loving the same sweet you)" would have been a better pick. Even the Oaks backing Paul Simon on "Slip Slid'n Away" would have been better than the B.M. track. Otherwise, great collection!
I did like the fact that they included "Family Reunion". This was right before they went country and were still gospel. It fits right in though since it's not exactly a gospel song."
All Except one Missing in Oaks Gold

"In this collection is the very best of the Oak Ridge Boys. I agree with the other writer about the Mandrell track being included on here, but its "According" to Billboard (I'm guessing). I was very happy with set with the exception of what I thought should have been included in the collection, "Gonna Take A Lot Of River" which is available on Greatest Hits Volume 3, it would then complete THE essential Oak Ridge Boys Greatest Hits. Still, all in all, a great package for the Oaks fans... enjoy... and Stay 2nd :-)"
This is a great CD!!!

"I love the Oak Ridge Boys. This CD compilation has almost every great
hit of their career with very few exceptions. I hope you enjoy as much
as we did."
The BEST COMPILATION EVER on the Oaks

"This is it, if you want all the hits by the Oak Ridge Boys.
It includes every track from their Greatest Hits & Greatest Hits Vol.2,
plus many more. Excellent sound and liner notes."
Superb. great. just about any synonym of good describes it.

"This was a remarkable combination of albums. All my favorite Oak Ridge Boys songs were on this, such as Elvira, Dream On, Thank God for Kids, I Guess it Never Hurts to Hurt Sometimes, and Sail Away. Whether you are a long time ORB fan or new to their music, this album is a must. You will love it."
