Already a couple years old when it became a U.S. hit in 2000, "Babylon" was far from Gray's first single; these 14 songs stretch all the way back to Gray's first album, released in 1992, and cover all his releases for the several labels he's been signed to over the years. For longtime fans, GREATEST HITS also includes two fine new songs, the tender ballad "You're the World to Me" and the politically themed "Destroyer." |
