This brief set of
Rodney Crowell's Columbia Records-era hits is essentially a truncated version of 1993's
Greatest Hits, offering ten tracks to the former release's 12. There are some gems here, of course, including a pair of beautiful
Crowell compositions, "It's Such a Small World" and "I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried," and the tenderly hilarious "She's Crazy for Leaving." Every track has resonance, but Raven's Small Worlds single-disc set offers a much better overview of
Crowell's work, and includes all of the above songs. ~ Steve Leggett
