Notes & Personnel Info |  | One can't call this collection a greatest-hits album because Deana Carter really only had two albums and five Top Ten hits from which she would be able to choose. So essentially what you have here is an obvious attempt by her record label to resurrect an ailing career from someone fans haven't heard from in more than four years. A few favorites like "Strawberry Wine," "Did I Shave My Legs for This," "How Do I Get There," and "We Danced Anyway" serve as a reminder to why this barefoot baroness was loved back in her day. She includes songs previously released on 1998's Everything's Gonna Be Alright but never released to radio. The one standout is "Rita Valentine," once available only in Europe, about a woman who blows throw people's lives. There's little that's new here, but if you're a fan of Carter's folksy style and melodic country pop/rock, you could find something worthwhile here. ~ Maria Konicki Dinoia |  | One can't call this collection a greatest-hits album because Deana Carter really only had two albums and five Top Ten hits from which she would be able to choose.
