Free Music Notes for The Definitive CollectionFree Music Review: Overall, A Great Album
This is a great collection of Oak Ridge Boys music. It chronologically covers the Oaks biggest hits from their first country single, "Y'all Come Back Saloon," in 1977, up to "This Crazy Love" from the Where The Fast Lane Ends album in 1987. The only two songs omitted from this CD that I felt should have been included are "Dream On", which appeared on the first Greatest Hits album, and "Ozark Mountain Jubilee" which appeared on the second. The only other critisism I have is the fact that the shortened version of the Oaks biggest hit, "Elvira", is what appears on this CD. The song fades out after bass singer Richard Sterbans second "Oom pah pah mau mau" solo, resulting in the loss of two more such solos, as well as two more key changes. In all, roughly another minute is cut from the song. One would think that MCA would include the full album version of one of the only double platinum singles in country music history. Otherwise, this album is terrific. Besides the music itself, the album features many great photographs of the Boys. The linier notes also include one of the Oaks giving some backstory on each song. All in all this is the best Oak Ridge Boys compilation you can find today. It is a great addition to any Oaks fans collection, or even the casual listener. A CD covering the biggest years of the most popular quartet ever in country music.
