Faith Hill - The Hits

Six albums into her career, Faith Hill already has more than enough hit singles to fill a best-of album, so this 13 track compilation is a fine summation of her career up to 2007.

Containing seven number-one country hits, many of which crossed over to the pop charts, The Hits is a fine argument for Faith Hill as one of the top country singers of her time. From pop crossover smashes like This Kiss and Breathe to more traditional country songs like Mississippi Girl and The Way You Love Me, The Hits is a solidly entertaining listen.

However, for good measure, The Hits also adds in the Janis Joplin standard Piece of My Heart. Tastefully packaged and intelligently sequenced as well as musically unbeatable, The Hits is a textbook example of how to do a mid-career best-of collection, and is far more listenable than the average uninspired cash-in.
