5.0 out of 5 stars
Great music from the early eighties,
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (No. 1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Very Best and More... (Audio CD)
Mac's main musical legacy is as a songwriter - one of the many songs he wrote for others was In the ghetto, a big hit for Elvis Presley in the late sixties - but he also recorded some fine music of his own. This particular compilation is made up of songs originally recorded in the early eighties. Mac wrote seven of the ten songs here.The most famous of these songs is the tongue-in-cheek It's hard to be humble. You either love or hate this song, but in any case it's not typical of the songs here. Let's keep it that way, one of the three songs not written by Mac, was first recorded by Anne Murray. It was the title track of one of her late seventies albums and was intended to be a single, but that plan was dropped and You needed me became the single instead. Mac eventually had a country hit with his version of Let's keep it that way. For me, the two outstanding songs here are Hooked on music and Texas in my rear view mirror. The first is about his musical inspiration and the second is about his attempt to make the big time. Of the other songs, I particularly like Rodeo clown and the affectionate You're my bestest friend. There is also a fine cover of Rodney Crowell's Shame on the moon. Mac Davis never made it big as a singer, but this compilation is worth a listen if you enjoy country music of the era.

An Album By A Master Song Writer,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Very Best and More... (Audio CD)
Sometimes I think that Mac Davis wrote the soundtrack for my life. These songs were hits in the seventies and they are timeless classics. I've played this album for people who had never heard of Mac Davis before and had them say "Yeah, that's exactly how I felt". In my opinion this album is essential for any Country or American Pop Music collection.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Very best of Mac Davis,

I was disappointed that it did not have Hooked on Me as that was one of his biggest. Not even a real picture on front cover. Shame on me for not investigating a bit more before purchase. Did receive in a tim ely manner
