Despite rocking hits like "Wild Man" and "I Am a Simple Man" (or even the new cover of Elvis Presley's "Wear My Ring Around Your Neck"), Ricky Van Shelton's greatest-hits collection shows that he's made his best records as a balladeer raised on stone-country gospel. For proof, just listen to "Just As I Am," "I'll Leave This World Loving You" or "Keep It Between the Lines." ~ Brian Mansfield, All Music Guide
There's no better voice in country music than that of Ricky Van Shelton; except maybe Keith Whitley. I also put Vince Gill and Ronnie Dunn in this category. But with Ronnie and Vince still out there performing, I never miss a chance to listen to a Ricky or Keith tune. Where R U Ricky? Driftwood Gainesville, Georgia
