Lewis rocks - I bought this cd to replace an old Huey Lewis cd. I had no idea how many hits he has written, and enjoyed hearing all my favorites from the 80 s and 90 s. I now know why he had so much staying power. The cd is diverse and fun to listen to.
this rocks! - If you re a child/teen of the 80 s you ll want to get this! Every time a song came on I couldn t believe it was another great song of theirs that I had forgotten about. What an awesome CD! I highly recommend it!
Do you like Huey Lewis And The News? - Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in 83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.In 87, Huey released Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is Hip to be Square, a song so catchy, most people probably don t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends, it s also a personal statement about the band itself.
Upbeat, fun music - You can t listen to this every day. But every couple of months, it s a nice lift. All their big hits are on this CD. I attended one of their concerts in the D.C. area and every time that I play this, it brings back some good memories.
I OWN EVERY HLN ALBUM and I still bought this - Saying I m a big HLN fan is an understatement. I have all their albums. What was missing were the single edits of many of my favorites. This album has many of those. I got the version with the music videos too. These guys had some truly great videos and those are included with that version. Many greatest CDs are barely OK. This is a GREATEST of greats, from the song selection to the packaging.
