21. Hurt
There are Johnny Cash compilations everywhere you look. The difference with this one is that it encompasses his entire career: from Sun Records to his latter day recordings with Rick Rubin. The result is a truly impressive look at the entire career of Cash, who went from the 1950’s and pretty much never stopped making music. The really big hits are here: “Folsom Prison Blues”, “I Walk The Line”, “Ring Of Fire”, “A Boy Named Sue”. His time with The Highwaymen (with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson) is documented, as is “The Wanderer”, recorded with U2.
The American recordings also gets a nod here, as it should. This was Cash at his most raw and emotional form. The late take on “Give My Love To Rose” is powerful. “Rusty Cage” is a great cover of the Soundgarden song recorded with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. And of course “Hurt”, the last hit Cash had before he died, is included. Not an easy task to cover a career this massive on one disc…but The Legend Of Johnny Cash does a great job of it.

I don’t know…maybe a compilation album per decade keeps people from forgetting you? This somewhat strange Rhino collection is credited to Crosby, Stills & Nash but not Neil Young. Even though there are three songs from the CSNY album Déjà Vu, they were able to keep Young’s name off of the album because Neil does not appear on any of those songs. And yet, Young is thanked in the liner notes. Also kind of odd…even though this came out in 2005, it completely ignores the trios last four studio albums. Meaning that this collection includes nothing after the year 1982. Not that they were huge between 1983 and 1999, but not even a single good track from that period seems odd. And really…this adds nothing new to their already crowded discography of compilation albums.
So, really, the only thing that this collection has to offer that’s unique is the omission of Neil Young. Which is strange, as Young’s contributions were quite positive. Kind of like making a Beatles best of, but not allowing anything by George Harrison. Otherwise, hey. The music here is fine. These songs are all great works, and are all worth having. But. They are from just four albums, and if you’re a fan, they are the four you’d be most likely to already own. Also, not only are the tracks not in chronological order, the order they are in makes very little sense. So my recommendation is this: get the first four albums, and if you need a hits disc, go with So Far from 1974, which includes the contributions by Young (as does Déjà Vu from 1970). Do that, and you can skip this. Three stars for content quality only…it’s otherwise not necessary at all. [First added to this chart: 05/03/2024]

Blessed is John Fogerty, for sure. Not one, but two separate careers of big time success. Enough hits to easily fill a 25 track album, and then some. The Long Road Home covers Fogerty’s career in full, from his time as the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival to his solo years. He sometimes gets forgotten when talking about the greatest rockers of all time, but he has more than earned a place on that list. And nowhere is that more evident than right here. His hits with Creedence alone are staggering, especially his output in 1969-1970. His solo years were not quite as fruitful, but he still maintained his star long after his band was gone. You always know when it’s a Fogerty song, and you always know when Fogerty is singing.
But this collection has its flaws. Four of the Creedence songs are live, which shakes things up a bit, but the studio versions are better. Also, there are Creedence songs that belong on any best of collection that are simply not here (for example, “I Heard It Through The Grapevine”). Two versions of “Fortunate Son”. And one of my pet peeves…the order of the songs makes zero sense. In the middle of a blast of out of order Creedence songs, there’s suddenly “Centerfield”. Also, a couple of his solo albums are not represented. And so, as complete as it seems, The Long Road Home feels strangely incomplete. Still, it is the compilation to have if you want both Fogerty with Creedence and Fogerty solo. Sometimes, I guess, you just can’t have it exactly how you want it.

17. White Dress
18. Stranger To Himself
Fairport Convention has been going at it for going on 50 years now, but the focus of this collection is their peak period between 1968 and 1976. Acknowledged as the first British folk rock band, Fairport gave us both Richard Thompson and Sandy Denny, and a slew of breathtakingly amazing material. During this eight year period, Fairport released 11 albums, including the classics Unhalfbricking and Liege & Lief. (This album should not be confused with an early compilation of the same name released during the 1970’s.) And, despite an ever changing lineup (there were 18 different members by 1972 alone), their output remained consistently great.
This is the best of that period, and should be considered essential for anyone not wanting to dig up the individual albums. The selections are all well chosen, so there isn’t a single weak track: but you’ll be won over by “A Sailor’s Life”, “Tam Lin”, “Meet On The Ledge”…basically, everything. Fairport gets lost in the shuffle when there are conversations about great British bands, but they are deserving of a place alongside The Beatles, The Stones, The Who and The Kinks. If you only have one Fairport album, get this one. An excellent overview of a great career. [First added to this chart: 08/12/2012]
