"All The Good Ones Are Gone" was nominated for 1998 Grammy Awards for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song.
GREATEST HITS documents Tillis' remarkable career in roughly chronological order. After opening with two brand new tracks, the album moves from "Don't Tell Me What To Do", Tillis' breakthrough hit, to songs from her two Platinum albums, SWEETHEART'S DANCE and HOMEWARD LOOKING ANGEL. There is still room, though, for more recent material like the sublime "The River And The Highway" from ALL OF THIS LOVE.
For Tillis' fans, it's nice to have all these songs in one place. For those who are less familiar with Tillis' body of work, GREATEST HITS serves as an excellent introduction to the combination of strong vocals and strong material that has made her so successful. One of the fine new songs here is "All the Good Ones Are Gone." In an age when so many country stars seem disposable, not only is one of the "good ones" still here, but, if the first chapter in her career is any indication, she should be around for some time to come.
