Desert Rose Band - Greatest Hits & Dozen Roses Audio CD | Country Music Collection | Perfect for Road Trips, Home Listening & Country Music Fans

"A Dozen Roses: Greatest Hits" is one of the best "Greatest Hits" albums that I've ever listened to. Every song on here is a true charting hit, with the exception of the new releases that are on here. Even those songs, though, are great.For a guy like me, who was in junior high in the late 80's, songs by The Desert Rose Band were really great to listen to. I'll be honest and say that I never really knew who Chris Hillman was until just a couple of years ago.I initially purchased this CD for one song: "One Step Forward." None of the other songs were recognizable to me until I actually received the album. "Love Reunited" was a nice beginning to this disc. It, along with just about every other track on this album, was one of those "Hey, I didn't know THESE guys sang this!" I completely forgot about songs like "He's Back And I'm Blue" and "Summer Wind." As a matter of fact, I didn't realize how many of these songs were big hits until I heard them again, so many years after they were released.I think the real shame here, however, is that you don't hear any of these songs on so-called country radio these days. Instead, it's cluttered with plastic country by guys like Tim McGraw, and pop wannabes like Martina McBride.There are so many great songs on this disc that I highly recommend it. If you like California-tinged country, or groups like Restless Heart, you're sure to enjoy this disc. It is full of contemporary country hits that stay true to their roots.I love this disc.
