Produced by Barry Beckett, Ed Cherney and Scott Hendricks, this twelve-song collection released in the summer of '99 marks the first compilation album of LRP's incredible career.

Featuring nine of his greatest hits from the Arista years, and two new tracks cut for this collection ("She Won't Be Lonely Long," written by Bob McDill, and "Long Way to Fall", co-written by LRP and Gary Nicholson) this classic set includes all the Lee Roy Parnell chart hits you'd expect, but at its heart--at its core--is a track that never charted, never received any airplay, never made any Top 10 list anywhere, but stands these 24 years later as one of the most powerful pieces of music ever recorded by this unique American artist.

Originally recorded in 1939 by Blind Willie Johnson, "John The Revelator" has been covered by scores of Gospel acts, and everyone from Harry Belafonte to Depeche Mode, Tom Waits and Odetta. But in this chilling, 5:06 performance with the Fairfield Four, Lee Roy Parnell's voice and slide guitar are nothing less than transportive; taking the listener out of the studio and placing them squarely in a pew below the pulpit.

Indescribably moving, this is a track that strips away the veneer and the layers of popular music, and, like a diamond in the rough, shows us the unvarnished, and pure brilliance of Lee Roy Parnell
