Greatest Hits: From the Beginning Reviews:
(4.5 stars) MIXING SOUTHERN ROCK AND OUTLAW COUNTRY ! (this early stuff is Travis Tritt's best) 
2008-05-13 - Travis Tritt - Greatest Hits: From The Beginning (1995) wraps up the early years of Travis Tritt's career quite effectively. Fifteen well chosen songs from four albums that gave Travis the distinction of being an authentic "outlaw" and part of a fraternity that included Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams, Jr., among others.
The music here is a mix of outlaw country, power ballads, and southern rock. Tritt rocks out and explains himself in Put Some Drive In Your Country.
I still love old country
I ain't trying to put it down
But damn, I miss Duane Allman
I wish he was still around
Well, I didn't have to hear any more than that to know that I was going to like that ol' Georgia boy. Country Club was Tritt's first monster hit single. It's a country tune that tells the story of a working man offering to buy a beer for a well-to-do lady in front of a country club, but being turned down because, "only members are allowed in here". Travis laughs it off and replies:
Well I'm a member of a "country" club
Country music is what I love
I drive an old Ford pick-up truck
I do my drinkin' from a dixie cup
Yeah, I'm a bona-fide dancing fool
I shoot a mighty mean game of pool
At any honky-tonk roadside pub
I'm a member of a "country" club
Power ballads have been a huge part of Tritt's commercial success, and he knows how to make the most of a good one. Help Me Hold On is one of his best:
Help me hold on...to what we had
Once our love was strong, it can be again
You said it takes two to make love last
You were right all along, so help me hold on
The Rhino label has released another, and more comprehensive, compilation of Travis Tritt's best music, Very Best Of Travis Tritt, but it doesn't include Ten Feet Tall And Bulletproof or Put Some Drive In Your Country (a criminal offense!) like this one does. The best music of Travis' career is the early 1990s material, anyway, so this is the best of the very best. This collection is also less expensive than the newer one. This is a good place to start with Travis Tritt. It is..."From The Beginning", after all.
Travis Tritt Greatest Hits from the Beginning
2007-03-20 - Haad the casette and like it so much I wanted to replace it with a CD
Good Collection
2006-01-10 - Travis Tritt is one of the most unique (and stylistic) singers to arrive on the "modern" country music scene. While not nearly as traditional as Dwight, and not as gifted guitarist as his cohort, Marty, Travis Tritt is one of the most recognizable, original, and true-to-form artist in our genre; his voice, although original, beckons back to the glory days of early Hank Jr and Conway Twitty....and throw in a little Greg Allman while we're at it. Personally, I prefer the traditional country sound, but will admit to occasionally dabbling in southern rock; and Travis has taken over where Bocephus left off in the early '90's. This album has a combination of his more rolicking "southern-fried" boogie numbers as well as some true honky-tonk classics. Not many artists have the ability to include hard driving rock-induced numbers as "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" and "...Drive in Your Country" along with such traditional songs like "Help Me Hold On" and "Sometimes She Forgets (a song written by a much thinner and literate Steve Earle)". And of course, there are the standard '90's fare of: "Drift Off to Dream", "Anymore", and "Tell Me I Was Dreaming". And, if that wasn't enough, his duet with Marty "The Whiskey Aint Working" is also included. Overall, A good album.
This is country!!!
2005-08-29 - As a typical old time country fan, I ignored Travis Tritt. He was too young, he didn't record back in the 50's, and besides, he wore his hair too long. Then I stumbled across "Sometimes She Forgets," which prompted me to buy his greatest hits album. Okay, I was wrong. W R O N G ! There, I've said it. Travis Tritt is all country and one of the world's finest honky tonk singers. Do yourself a favor and add this CD to your collection. I promise, you will play it again and again.
Greatest from the greatest
