 Poor sound quality May 26, 2009
I picked this up because of the strong song selection. I stopped listening to ithalf way through because it sounded like it was "no-noised" beyond recognition. All the ambiance and warmth that defined the monument recordings was completely gone, making this album sound like a bad mp3 transfer.
A few recordings dragged and waved a bit...,,BUT, Mar 11, 2008
The Gatlins actually rate 5 stars....the ONLY drawback is the analong tape some of the early songs were recorded on slowed down and drug a bit (as the old 8-tracks use to do). At approx 1:43 during "I Wish You Were Someone I Loved" and "Sure Feels Like Love" at around 43-44 seconds. Also,the last 4-5 seconds of "Delta Dirt" was quite wavey.
Is this being too picky? Maybe so, but I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my music. These guys deserved better treatment of their recordings. They are a CLASS ACT with amazing talent! My favorites are the ones Larry shows off his amazing voice:
"The Heart", "I've Done Enough Dying Today" and "Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall"
But I have to admit...
I LOVE'M ALL!!!

I have no idea what this song is about but it's awesome. They play it on Music Choice - Classic Country (comcast digital cable 403) all the time!!
Harmony at its best Nov 11, 2006
I love their harmony, every album is "good to the last drop" - or song. I am never disappointed by this trio.

Some of the greatest music of the 70's and 80's May 04, 2006
The Gatlin Brothers became one of the greatest groups in country music with a polished sound that featured gospel-like vocal harmonies and creative musical arrangements. Larry, Steve, and Rudy can produce some of the tightest three-part harmonies you'll ever hear from any vocal group.
Like Ronnie Milsap, Larry Gatlin is truly among the most underappreciated musical talents of the past 30 years. Not only is he among the very best songwriters of ANY genre, he also possesses one of the finest voices in American music. The beautiful ballad "I've done enough dying today" is stunning proof of Larry's incredible singing and composing talents! This song went to #7 on the country charts, and yet it is probably the greatest pop ballad that never made the pop charts. The great melodies and poetic lyrics of Larry's songs stretch beyond the limitations of simple country music.
Gatlin wrote a career's worth of criminally underrated, grammy-calibre masterpieces such as "Broken Lady" {this one did win a grammy}, "The Heart", "Love is just a Game", "Take me to your lovin' place", "Statues without Hearts", "Night Time Magic", and "All the Gold in California". All of these songs are extremely well-crafted and blow away anything climbing the country charts today.
18 Gatlin classics fill this highly recommended greatest hits compilation that spans their prime years from 1973 to 1988. Any lover of vocal harmony and melodic songwriting who is not familiar with this music needs to be enlightened with a copy of this CD. This is some of the finest country music ever recorded...without an ounce of twang.
