Amy Grant Album: “Greatest Hits 1986-2004”

I'm a bit surprised by folks who complain about the absence of some of Amy's biggest inspirational hits from the '70s and early '80s. In case the name of the album itself wasn't clear enough, this album concerns itself only with Amy's pop hits from 1986 to today (the reason being that she released a Christian Greatest Hits compilation in 1986). The album was largely supported by her pop record label, so that's why it's a pop-oriented project (yes, Lead Me On and Saved By Love were released to pop stations too). A Christian GH project will likely appear in the future. In the meantime, Amy Grant is one of the most appealing and best-selling artists in the entire music industry. She's as much a musical powerhouse today as she was ten, fifteen, or even twenty-eight years ago when she started. She's produced a long, plentiful string of unforgettable hits, from the loud and bubbly to the soul-stirring and inspirational. A cross-section of her artistry is presented on this CD with wonderful quality.

A few radio edits and remixes are offered here on a studio album for the very first time! Why? For many people, these are the versions they know by heart. For avid fans who already have her other CDs, this gives a new addition to their collection.

The two new tracks have serious radio potential and are slowly beginning to capitalize on it, and rightfully so! They are awesome! Whether you are looking for a walk down memory lane with a restored listen to classic favorites or some brand new tunes for your collection, this album offers every single Amy Grant pop hit to date (with the exception of "Find A Way," which was featured on the last GH CD)... 18 years worth! It's an absolute must have!

And no, Amy hasn't had plastic surgery.

I've always been fond of Amy Grant's music, since I was a young child up until now. She has a wonderful, captivating voice and her songs are so beautiful! I can't help it, but I've always been somewhat partial to Baby Baby(the Heart in Motion mix in particular). It's an excellent song and will put you in a romantic mood. I can remember well, the days when I was young, sitting in my room, listening to Amy's cds and singing along with her. She was my favorite! I haven't listened to her in a while but after all these years, I saw this album in the store and I fell in love with her all over again! Seeing it brought back such great memories! I do not own this album yet (I will soon, trust me!) but I have heard some of her previous work; some of which is in this collection. It's terribly good! I'm thrilled she released this! I know I can expect more great music from Amy Grant!! Amy Grant will not dissapoint...take it from a long time fan!

My favorite songs:

Baby Baby (Probably the first song I heard by her. Gets stuck in my head very easily and is my all time fave song she sings!), Lucky One (My second fave song! Very catchy!), I Will Remember You, Takes A Little Time, Every Heartbeat, and That's What Love is For.

I had almost forgot about Amy Grant with all the constant new music coming out. I heard over the radio she was coming out with a greatest hits cd, and all the memories started flooding back. I remembered liking alot of the songs she released in the 90's so I just had to snatch this cd up. I bought it for a couple songs but I ended up liking alot of the other tracks more. My favourite track is "Like I Love U". I don't know when this song came out originally, but it is now one of my faves for life. I also like "The Water". Amy is an awesome, soulful singer and I am so glad she released this cd. She outdid herself. I hope she gets more recognition. Thanks Amy, for all the awesome songs!!

Yes, in the tradition of "Ultimate Kylie," this collection leaves no stone unturned! With the addition of new and remixed tracks, this collage should be entitled, "Past Reflections & Future Memories." This bundle is a strong mix of her most popular chart-toppers as well as time-honored CCM classics. Absoluletely beautiful in its arrangement and selection from the 18 years highlighted here, it shows Amy's dynamic voice and honest passion on everything she sings!

Although originally featured in "Mr. Wrong," the inclusion of Amy's cover of 10cc's trademark hit "The Things We Do For Love" is a welcome surprise!!

Another welcome surprise is her 1986 Billboard #1 duet with Peter Cetera--an absolute necessity for any Amy fan!

Highlights include "Lead Me On," "Simple Things" and "I Will Remember You"

This collection of Amy Grant hits, new songs, and remixes is a must have! The new songs are The Water and Come Be With Me. The hits include songs from Lead Me On, Heart In Motion, House of Love, and Behind the Eyes. The cd also has two songs that were Amy hits that did not appear on any of her albums - The Next time I Fall and The Things we do for Love. There are 19! tracks on the cd plus 4! more on the bonus CD! What a deal! The cd can be enjoyed by young and old alike - my two teen sons like the cd, too! And if teenage boys like it - it will make

anyone smile!

The Water was written from Amy's recent experience in Texas having her daughter Corrina baptized. Amy was so moved by the baptism, she decided to be babtized herself. Then after watching Amy in the river, Vince decided he wanted to be babtized, too! The 3rd page of the cd booklet has a picture of Corrina playing in the river. What a precious memory for their family and Amy is sharing it with us, her fans! That is why we continue to love her - her ability to share herself and her life in her music! Happy listening!
