Summary: Blue-eyed R&B Country 2005-12-13
Comment: Eddie Rabbitt made quite a career out of singing songs that fit comfortably on both AC and Country stations. Hits like "Gone Too Far" and "I Love A Rainy Night" were played on both and received with much enthusiasm. To my knowledge, Rabbitt was never considered a sell out. Perhaps this is because he consistently churned out songs like "Suspicions" that fit perfectly on AC radio and then turned around and made Country greats like "Drivin' My Life Away" and "Rocky Mountain Music." With Rabbitt, unlike most modern "Country" acts, I believe his intentions were never to be pigeon-holed into one genre of music. He was comfortable singing both Soft Rock and Country music and never seemed intent on becoming one of those forced "Pop" Country stars like so many today. He didn't wear a cowboy hat and tight T-shirts, never sang about drivin' his Chevy down to the lake for a late-night romance with his John Deere queen, and he was never a poser. He was Eddie Rabbitt, no more, no less.
This particular disc of greatest hits is well worth the price. My personal favorite, and probably my all-time favorite tune by Rabbitt, is "Two Dollars In The Jukebox." Though it lacks many of his hits like "Just You And I," "Step By Step," and "Every Which Way But Loose," you can get all of those and more on "Eddie Rabbitt-Greatest Hits" which is almost always coupled with this disc by Amazon in the "Better Together" listing. In fact, the cost of both of these discs together is still cheaper than buying some other, lesser artists greatest hits single disc collections.
I definitely suggest buying this album and the aforementioned "Greatest Hits" disc together if you enjoy Eddie Rabbitt. Fans of artists such as Doug Stone, Conway Twitty, and 80's R&B country will be sure to enjoy this album also.

Summary: Eddie Rabbit... 2005-12-05
Comment: Thanks to radio stations like KiQQ and Kiis in Los Angeles in the early 80's, I received exposure to Pop Country tunes like Drivin' my life away and Suspicions. I grew to like the music of Eddie Rabbitt over the years and finally scored with this "All Time Greatest Hits" CD. I realize that there are other hit songs missing from this collection, but for the price, you just can't beat it! Good music, good price, good artist! Four stars!

Comment: Thoroughly enjoyed this collection. Thanks Amazon for helping me find an affordable Eddie Rabbitt collection that is also hard to find in the smaller community that I live in.

Summary: Great collection but very incomplete 2005-05-17
Comment: Eddie's passing was a great loss to all his fans and now we don't have anyone who can really fill his shoes. He has such a sweet voice and his tunes have been some of the most memorable Country Pop songs ever.
However, this collection is strangely missing some very good songs e.g. "Room at the top of the stairs", "You and I" and "You don't love me anymore" which are jewels not to be left out.
Unfortunately there is no one CD with all his good songs in it and one has to buy a few of his so-called "Greatest Hits" albums to enjoy all his great songs. Is this some kind of a marketing ploy or what?
Anyway, I am still waiting for one really good Eddie Rabbitt compilation and hopefully Rhino Music will oblige soon. The good songs in this album are the remarkable "Suspicions" and "I can't help myself". You will be swept off your feet with his laid-back country&western&pop songs done in his inimitable style.
Time to reminisce with Eddie.

Summary: Sorry... next? 2004-11-30
Comment: Missing in action: Every Which Way But Loose (yes, from the movie), Step By Step, Someone Could Lose A Heart Tonight, You And I (with Crystal Gayle).
Add what "is" on this disc: Suspicions, Drivin' My Life Away, I Love A Rainy Night... and it could be an awesome piece of work... (thumbs down!)
By the way, as I write this, Mr. Rabbitt celebrated his 60th birthday (11-27-44).
Thank you for the music...
