Quite clearly, this is a great country CD with a few really great artists. I find disappointing, however, that there are on the one hand quite old songs (eg Take it like a man, and Middle Ground have even more than 10 years under his belt) and that on the other hand some of the very important female country stars are missing, the on part 1 already missing: Trisha Yearwood, Faith Hill, Terri Clark, Lorrie Morgan, Reba McEntire, Wynonna Judd, Chely Wright and of course Shania Twain! Four years ago, would be (if one of the missing women disregards) been a madness CD, now it is, strictly speaking, only a tired rehash of indeed very good, but unfortunately obsolete material.
