Always liked Ricky Nelson and his songs..Now all these years later this CD REALLY makes me love him....A fabulous compilation of his greatest hits recorded by a true Rock & Roll Hall of Famer..
Elvis was absolutely correct when he said that "If James Dean Could Sing He Would Sound Like Ricky Nelson".

I got this to replace old vinyl records and it was fun to remember all the songs Ricky Nelson did back then. Real classics in a simple style that was all his own. A great investment in your collection.

I grew up listening to the music of Rick Nelson and watching him and his family on The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet. I always looked forward to his performances at the end of certain episodes. This cd brings back memories of those times. I recommend it highly-it will make a great addition to your music collection!

I am a heavy metal fan, have no love for "teen idol" singers, and didn't grow up listening to Ricky Nelson, though I'm sure I caught a few Ozzie & Harriet episodes in syndication. I'm probably the last guy who should be raving about a Ricky Nelson Greatest Hits album, but I'm doing it just the same. I've developed an appreciation for 50's rock and rockabilly, and despite Nelson's "teen idol" status, he was a big part of that era's rock scene. Beyond having one of the absolute warmest and steadiest voices in rock, you have to admire the way Nelson took the wilder rock sounds of the era and brought them to mainstream America's living rooms. Admittedly his material was a lot "safer" than that of Gene Vincent or Buddy Holly, but I'd argue that a rockin' song like "Hello Mary Lou" comes pretty close.
There is no shortage of Ricky Nelson "Greatest Hits" packages out there (at least two dozen available on Amazon), but Capitol's 2005 compilation jumps straight to the head of the pack. In terms of sound quality, song selection, and price, you just can't beat this one. You get a whopping 25 songs, including hits like Travellin' Man, I'm Walkin, It's Late, and many more. There are so many great singles, I almost feel like I should list them all.
If you're a Ricky Nelson fan and have one of the earlier "hits" compilations, you may want to consider upgrading to this version. The difference in sound quality is very noticeable. If you're not a Nelson fan, but enjoy early rock & roll, I encourage you to give this disc a try. You might be surprised.
NOTE: There is a deluxe (translation: more expensive) version of this album that comes with a DVD featuring Ricky's musical performances on the Ozzie & Harriet Show. It's well worth the higher price tag.
