Album Review
For many years, Patty Smyth inexplicably lacked a hits compilation, but Columbia/Legacy finally issued the single-disc Greatest Hits in the fall of 1998. Drawing from both her solo recordings and her time with Scandal, from her recordings for both Columbia and MCA, the 16-track contains all of her hits, including "Goodbye to You," "The Warrior," "Hands Tied," "Beat of a Heart," and "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough," her duet with Don Henley. The enticements for hardcore fans — two new Matt Serletic-produced recordings ("Wish I Were You," which is also on the Armageddon soundtrack, and "Carnival Lights"), plus an unreleased cut from Never Enough — aren't particularly noteworthy, but for most fans, both casual and serious, it's a blessing to have all of the hits in one place, even if it's frustrating that the disc isn't sequenced in chronological order.
Customer Reviews
Shiny Pop/Rock
This overview of Patty Smyth's career (to 1998) will satisfy casual fans and those seeking the ubiquitous hits "Goodbye to You," "No Mistakes," and "Sometimes Love Just Aint Enough." More dedicated fans will remain disappointed that the more engaging tracks from 80's albums "Scandal," "The Warrior" and the criminally overlooked "Never Enough" remain unavailable. Nevertheless, this set deserves your time, if only because it is seemingly the only place you can obtain "Love's Got a Line On You," "Wish I Were You," and "Downtown Train" (easily the best cover version of the Tom Waits classic) in the same place.
Patty Come Back!!
Patty Smyth is easily one of the best rock vocalist of all time. Equally satisfying is her songwriting prowess. She has a very concise way of translating heartache (Less Than Half - All I Want - the entire 1992 album) - When you hear Patty, you know who it is - and it just can't be loud enough. I graduated from High School when Scandal Warrior came out - and have been a life long fan ever since. - Not sure if Patty is retired for good - but there are those of us currently in our 40's who would DEFINITELY stay up past our bed times to go see Patty live!
Hands Tied
This is a vastly underrated song. Patty's voice and the feeling she puts into it should have warranted at least a Top 10 hit at the time it came out. In my book, this song could get airplay even today. And you gotta love the lyrics: "She may be one good reason to leave, but I'm a hundred reasons to stay".
