East Tennessee-born singer Kenny Chesney has, in the course of his relatively brief career, proven to be an unremarkable but thoroughly competent singer who shows occasional flashes of brilliance when teamed with the right song. That happens roughly half the time on this 17-cut compilation disc, which, despite its title, actually includes four new songs, one rerecording, and a remix. Amid soppy country-pop chart fodder (“Me and You,” “When I Close My Eyes”) and second-rate ditties (“How Forever Feels,” “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy”), Chesney hits his stride on robust country ballads like “You Had Me from Hello” and the lead single “I Lost It.” On other gems–like “That’s Why I’m Here,” a heartfelt tribute to the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step program that topped the charts a while back; “Baptism,” a great duet with Randy Travis; and his fine rerecording of “Tin Man,” the song that launched his career in the mid ’90s–Chesney even manages to attain an ephemeral but utterly moving transcendence over his vocal limitations and sometimes questionable song choices. –Bob Allen

maybe i’m a snob, but this album seems to collect the worst things about country music these days. It’s trite, contrived, and derivative. But don’t go on my judgement. Look at the Amazon.com editorial review. These are people trying to SELL you this album, and their contempt for it is barely concealed. He may be a nice man, and he may do good things, and he may be Mr. Zellweger, but he just does not seem to be able to convey mature songs in the vein of Willie Nelson or even Lyle Lovett. The marriage of country and pop music has taken all the life out of what now passes for country, and kenny chesney is a shining example of that.

If this is his his greatest hits, I’m sure glad I don’t have his normal albums! Kenny’s voice is different from alot of singers and it is a good voice. But most of the songs he sings are just not very good. Out of the 17 songs on this cd, 15 are about love! And most of them are the slow, I love you songs type. The two non love songs, “Baptism”, a duet with Randy Travis, and “Back Where I Come From”, are both great.

Amid good to great song writing, the voice of Kenny Chesney can be overheard. Chesney obviously has a talent to pick better songs than he is able to sing. The talent in the songs far exceed the talent of the singer. He should keep up his “Thinks Me Tractor’s Sexy” mode and forget the rest. I can’t even believe this compilation is called his greatest hits. It should be called my new album with my hits added on. Two thumbs down for the singer who is unable to impress me with his mediocre talent. I would give the songwriters two thumbs up, but they allowed him to sing their material. Sorry guys, I took this album to the pawn shop.
