Amazon.co.uk Review
More prolific than D'Angelo and Terence Trent D'Arby combined, one-man rock & soul revivalist Lenny Kravitz kept traditional pop values alive through much of the 1990s. From the Motown-perfect "It Ain't Over Til It's Over" to the Beatlesque "Let Love Rule", Kravitz has always inhabited his influences with a genuine spirit that transcends imitation. The 15 tracks found on Greatest Hits provide a surprisingly coherent reminder of just how much the artist has accomplished in a relatively short time. And even if "Are You Gonna Go My Way" falls short of its Hendrix target, Kravitz's cover of the Guess Who's "American Woman" still rocks in a pleasingly Neanderthal way. An infectious new cut, "Again", fits neatly alongside sturdy Kravitz originals like "Fly Away", "Mr. Cab Driver" and "Black Velveteen", showcasing a talent whose post-modern pop should play well into the new century. --Bill Forman

Customer Reviews

Finding his voice
Now I don't claim to be a Rock expert, or a devoted fan of Mr. Kravitz. I have followed his career for a number of years, and every now and then a song of his will catch my attention. This CD is the perfect one for me, as I won't be getting all his CDs, and this covers the best of them( saying that I would like his very Curtis sounding' What goes around come around' from his Mama Said CD. This leads me to my second point. In his earlier CDs as he struggled to find the right line between sounding like your idols, and finding his own voice, he often came across as an immature artist. I believe that after four or five Cds he is finally starting to find his own voice. My favorite songs on this Cd are' Are you Gonna go my way?'' Fly away', 'It ain't over 'till it's over', 'Always on the Run', and the excellent 'Let Love Rule'.

A worthy effort and "Are You Gonna Go My Way" is worth every
I've had a kind of love-hate relationship with Lenny Kravitz. Being in my 50's I am predisposed to his type of music because it is very much rooted in the early 70's rock scene. A number of times I almost bought his latest album but there was always something that stopped me, so a "best of" is ideal to catch up with his greatest hits. And in fact this "best of" manages to capture what I like about Lenny, and a bit of what I don't like. "Are You Gonna Go My Way" and "It Ain't Over `Til It's Over" are certainly up there with the all-time classics, and "Again" is worth considering. There are a couple of tracks that I'm not too hot on, such as "Always On The Run", but globally the disc offers a good overview of his career.

Mind blowing!!!!!!!
Quite simply, this is the best album in my collection and that is saying something because I do have a lot!
No bad tracks. Buy it!
