The 2004 release The Best of LeAnn Rimes tweaks the 2003 U.S. release Greatest Hits, leaving behind some of the purer country hits that didn’t translate outside of the U.S. -- notably, Al Anderson’s “Big Deal” is nowhere to be found -- and concentrating on her big pop crossover hits, including “How Do I Live,” “Can’t Fight the Moonlight,” and her duet with Ronan Keating, “Last Thing on My Mind.”
