Album Notes: Despite being a former member of the Albion Band and a regular associate of Ashley Hutchings (including playing on the classic MORRIS ON album of instrumental dance tunes), John Tams remains one of the lesser known figures of the British folk community. THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION is a solid overview of Tams's solo career, featuring highlights such as "Soing Time To Fit Your Crime" and the lovely "Spanish Bride," and providing Tams with a moment in the spotlight.

As you can see there are a lot of tracks on the cd. JohnTams's voice seems slightly more reigned in than when he is rifleman Hagman marching through the wilderness with the men on Sharpe! The only negative is that the producers have added bits to some of the songs, some extra instrumental parts that are not originally...

Advantages: 3cd's covering all the hits with a few hidden gems Disadvantages: Makes you want even more
...If your a Elton John fan then this 3 cd collection is definetely for you.
Spanning all decades of his career it includes early classics such as 'Your Song' through to his later work such as 'I Want Love' with the third cd throwing up all kind of gems such a duet with the late Luchiano Pavarotti.
The cover sleeve of the collection is also worth a mention with a excellent collection of photo's and a mini biography of Elton's career to date.
This is really an essential cd to add to your collection if your in the least bit intrested in Elton John, I cant think of a single song on the collection that dissapoints. A personal favourite of mine 'Live like Horses' being one of the highlights of this cd. A must buy!!...

Advantages: john denver is great folk song writer Disadvantages: only if one does not like his style
...What can one say about this collection? John Denver is master at combining colorful lyrics, melody, and realism. His songs touch,one's feelings, taking the person to different places by song. This is a wonderful collection of works, that everyone can appreciate. One would do oneself a big diservice, by not checking this album out. Even though, John is not with us, he left a music legacy, that cannot be dismissed.This album, is one that I would recommend and buy,for myself. I give this album 5 stars out of 5 stars, a definite must buy. If you buy one album this year, this is the one you should have. I say in conclusion, this music is classic, and must not be missed....
