EMI CMG release 'Greatest Hits' compilation by Amy Grant
A NEW compilation of all the most successful songs in the career of CCM star Amy Grant is being released by EMI CMG in October. 'Greatest Hits' features 19 tracks from her first number one CCM hit "Old Man Rubble" (1978) through to her 2003 success "Simple Things".
As well as the standard release, 'Greatest Hits' is also released in special edition with a bonus DVD of music videos, photo galleries, newly recorded live acoustic performances, new interview footage and an excerpt from the Mosaic book ready by Amy.

I have this great jam packed cd of timeless recordings by Amy; just love it! The cd spans out over 25 years of Amy's music career; from 1977 recording of "Old Man's Rubbles" (which I loved the first time I heard it) to 2003 "Simple Things" It would have been nice to see some older videos included on the dvd like "Find a Way". I love all the songs on this collection; I really like the video for "Stay for Awhile"
(not on the bonus dvd ). This cd was nice to see, even after the 2004 release of Greatest Hits 1986-2004. This collection includes many of her ccm hits; I feel it could have been a double cd set; it does fall short of her "Greatest Hits". "I Have Decided" & "Sing Your Praise to the LORD" didn't make it; neither "Children of the World": nothing from 1980 "Never Alone" is found like "All I Ever Have To Be". I really enjoyed the interview segment.
"Angels" & "Thy Word" will always have a special place in my life; Thank you Amy.
