专辑简介

Burned Like A Rocket, I Miss You Already, Old Bridges Burn Slow, Love Has No Right.. just a few super examples of Billy Joe's work. Over 20 years ago, I saw him put on a wonderful performance, to include being appreciative of his audience. Perhaps he needs a better manager to get his talent out in the public and on the air again as he was one of the first really talented cross-over pop/country artists that just hasn't been given the promotion he deserves. His pop & country selections can be easily understood and the majority can easily be danced to. The icing on the cake is that he has written or co-written some of his recordings. The range he commands lends itself to respectible clean verbage. My records and cassetts of his early days were stolen not too long ago and it aggrivates me to have to lose those originals but I am finding the clarity of replacing his work through CD's makes it a little less painless. This Greatest Hits album is a winner. Burned Like A Rocket is my favorite on this CD. I couldn't and don't get enough of it on the radio. If Billy Joe hasn't retired then someone needs to reintroduce him to the new country generation and give his God-given talents a new opportunity for success.
