AMG Review of Greatest #1 Hits

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

When you have as many number one hits as Randy Travis, it's possible to have a collection called Greatest #1 Hits -- you can select the best of the best. And, despite the presence of "1982," which never went past number six, that's pretty much what this is -- a selection of ten (nine, if you discount "1982") songs that are the best of his best. Which means that "On the Other Hand," "Diggin' Up Bones," "Forever and Ever, Amen," "Too Gone Too Long," "I Told You So," "Deeper Than the Holler," "It's Just a Matter of Time," "Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart," and "Look Heart, No Hands" are on one disc. Which means in turn that it's a bargain for most casual fans.
