The JuddsJanuary 17, 2010 Ronald L. Abbey(Washington, USA) I almost forgot how great the Judds harmonize. These are timeless songs that are even more relevant in these times than they were when they were new. Few in "NEW COUNTRY" music will ever be able to match these ladies in talent, style, or pure entertainment. Long live the music of the Judds!
Judd's AlbumFebruary 2, 2009 Frances M. Padalecki(Colorado) This album contains a lot of good music. Well worth the money spent to buy it.
Judds not dudsJuly 10, 2007 Gen X Music Addict(Minnesota) This is a great compilation of the Judds' hits. They were a great mother/daugther duos. Theire voices harmonize well but are sufficiently different so that there is nice variation in the mix of pitches. The music on here is definitely country. There's a good mix of uptempo, energetic stuff and soulful songs. Particularly good songs:
Why Not Me
Rocking with the Rhythm of the Rain
Turn it Loose - excellent, great attitude and spunk
Girls Night Out
Have Mercy
I Know Where I'm Going
Judge the Judd's ...January 3, 2007 John Loia(Western North Carolina) I have always liked the Judd's and own several of their CD's. In my opinion, this one ranks up there near the top of my Judd's list.
Most of the essentialsOctober 6, 2003 Peter Durward Harris(Leicester England) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The Judds, with their great acoustic songs, were the heroines of traditional country fans in the eighties, and this compilation contains most of the essentials. As the title suggests, all these songs were number one hits in the country charts.
Of the songs here, I particularly like Mama he's crazy (in which a girl asks her mother's advice about a boy), Girls night out (a good time song), Why not me and Grandpa tell me about the good old days - just a few of the Judds classics included here.
One of many great songs that are not included here is Love can build a bridge, which is probably the song they are best known for in Britain. Perhaps it didn't make number one or perhaps the Judds had more number one hits than the record company were willing to include.
While this collection is far from complete, the sheer quality of the music here is undeniable. As such, it is a great introduction to their music, but note that full length CD's have previously been available in both Britain (Judds collection) and America (Essential Judds) so if you can obtain either of those, you won't need this.
