Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great music, but...
This is a great collection of Croce's songs, but it is not digitally remastered. It has all of the hiss & scratch of nostalgic vinyl. It's great to have so many more of his works than you'll ever hear on the radio, some that were never on the radio. Some are beautiful, some inspiring, some funny, all good.
Rating: - Jimmy Lives
Basically everything is here. From "Leroy Brown" to "I'll have to Say I Love You in a Song" to one of my favourites "Time in a Bottle",this song reminding me about the end of a documentary on Jim where the song is playing and Jimmy is in front of his house with his then young son. And this tune is playing. Haunting. Providence, maybe. Anyways buy the album, it's great. A warning though, it may want you to put on your roller skates again to hit the nearest arena . Don't say I didn't warn you though. ... Read More
Rating: - Good compilation from a 70's legend
"The Definitive Collection" showcases Jim Croce's talent as a wordsmith and musician. It features both hits and radio-friendly tunes from the first album with his wife Ingrid and his three solo albums. Croce's tender, thoughtful and humourous songs, along with guitarist Murray Mueleisen's classical fretwork, aptly demonstrate his prowess as a singer/songwriter.
Any doubt about his talent can easily be dispelled after listening to his stirring love songs "Time In A Bottle", "Operator", ... Read More
Rating: - Don't Settle for Another Collection
This is a great Jim Croce collection. The sound / volume consistency is great and CD 2 which has non hit songs is just as good as the first CD. I often wonder if Croce was influenced by the late Townes Van Zandt, another of my favorites.
Rating: - Jim's Music is Timeless and Eternal
This album would have to be one of the best compilations of Jim Croce's sogs. Jim was on the verge of becoming a Major Populist Music Star when his plane crashed on September 23rd, 1973 and the worlkd lost a great artist. One cannothelp but feel feel sadness when listening to Jim's "Time In A Bottle". Sadly time was one thing that Jim did not have but he left us with some wonderful songs which sound as fresh today as they did 30 years ago. Rest In Peace Jim.You are sadly missed.
