    All Music Guide Review

    After 15 years as one of Canada's most lauded and consistently popular bands, Blue Rodeo offers their first hits package. A two-disc live album, Just Like a Vacation, released in 1999, covered a lot of ground but went a bit too deep for casual fans. Two extras are added, a far too sluggish version of the Bee Gee's "You Don't Know What It's Like" (borrowed via Gram Parsons' version, no doubt) and a demo fidelity recording of "After the Rain" from 1990's Casino. In between are the high points: the anthemic "Lost Together," their breakthrough single "Try," and "Side of the Road" from the group's psychedelic masterpiece Nowhere to Here. Twelve hits in all, chosen from all but one of the group's eight albums (their studio effort The Days in Between is curiously bypassed) show that barring the sonically deficient Diamond Mine, Blue Rodeo's albums improve markedly with each passing effort. With the right attention, Greatest Hits could even turn on a few American listeners. Here's hoping. ~ John Duffy, All Music Guide
