Album Description
Few artists can not only survive the test of time, but flourish with the passing of years. For most, longevity is an elusive goal only attained by such as icons as George Jones, Ray Price or Hank Williams-great singers with extraordinary songs. Then there's that intangible ingredient called talent, that element of delivery combined with magic that actually endures what can be a fickle public. Steve Wariner is one of those rare gems. Since his arrival on the country music scene in the late '70s, Wariner's blend of pop flavored country along with his velvety vocals, has earned him a consistency enjoyed only by few, while amassing hit upon hit. Although country purists tend to criticize such non-traditional music, Wariner's more contemporary offerings arguably helped broaden country's listening audience in the '80s.

This package--Steve Wariner--Ultimate Collection--spans 11 years, from his first No.1 record, "All Roads Lead to You," until the early '90s when he experienced a shift in direction and sales before his more recent resurgence of popularity. The collection encompasses a body of work that displays Wariner's growth as a total artist-vocally, instrumentally and as a songwriter-containing 21 hits, an amazing number for any artist, but particularly one who fell into singing by accident.

Awesome CD. Definitely the most under rated country music star. More number 1 hits than on this CD than on ANY other CD I own.

Steve Wariner Ultimate Collection
If you like Steve Wariner, this is a very good CD to add to your collection. All of his hits and then some at one place.

Another song that's missing from the "Ultimate Collection":
In addition to the remarks from some about songs that should have been included with this CD, it would have been more appealing to me if it had also included "Kansas City Lights".

Why no "Why Goodbye"?
Any collection of Steve Wariner's hits that does not include the song "Why Goodbye" should not be considered "ultimate" by any stretch of the imagination. I was working as a progressive country music DJ when this soung was released back in the 80s, and from that day to this,I consider it to be one of the catchiest and most melodic and memorable country/pop songs ever written and performed. This collection showcases Steve's more country oriented side, which really sells him short. "Why Goodbye" should be at the top of everyone's list of all-time favorite Steve Wariner songs, and I just don't understand why is has been virtually forgotten. It also just mey be the best vocal performance of his career.
