   Summary: Wonderful Compilation From The Guy Who Sang "Wildfire"!
This is a wonderful compilation of an artist who has done a number of interesting career turns since crashing onto the popular charts thirty years ago with the folk-country crossover hit, "Wildfire". Many of the songs included here were in a terrific album released early in the 1980s, with the hit song "What's Forever For" propelling it up the charts. Murphey is always delightful and surprising, and from a guy who has done everything from "Geronimo's Cadillac" to cowboy albums, this album is a provocative turn toward more contemporary music, which may be difficult to classify, but is absolutely impossible to resist. From the opening "Carolina In The Pines" to the intriguing "Still Taking Chances", Murphey's songwriting, singing, and arrangement talents are wonderfully showcased, and each of the songs provides an interesting look at the nature of contemporary lives and relationships as seen by someone with common sense, an earthy appreciation for the values of the simple life, and an ardent celebrant of life. Although I like all the songs included here, my special favorites are "Love Affairs", "Cherokee Fiddle", and, of course, the absolutely captivating "Wildfire, an absorbing word picture and fable all wrapped up in a memorable and evocative song. Believe me when I say this one song is worth the price of the album, and compares well to anything by James Taylor, Van Morrison, or Paul Simon. I love this album, and it is permanently installed in my new 100 CD player for my convenience. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

   Summary: Looking for Wildfire with Piano intro and Close!
I have not heard this album but am looking for the version of the "Wildfire" track with the great piano solo intro and close. Based on other reviews, this CD does not have that version. The Sagebrush Symphony also does not appear to be the one either with one reviewer citing a "different version than what you might be used to". Can anyone help me out? Please email me at bradd@concordtrans.com if you can provide any assistance.

   Summary: Music full of memories and feeling
This is an excellent CD, however I was dissappointed that it wasn't the original Wildfire and the long piano intro and ending. Does anyone know where I can find that version? Please email me at stevencharles at wilcatsfan dot com if you have information.

   Summary: Caution - A Few Remixes
This CD contains similar versions to MMM's hits, some some have been re-recorded (e.g. Wildfire). If you're used to the hit mix, you'll be surprised; but the newer version will likely "grow on you"!

   Summary: MMM--an Outstanding Songwriter
This CD is full of tunes to keep you singing along and enjoying the talents of MMM. Michael is an outstanding songwriter. He wrote a lot of the songs on the CD and his wonderful talent brings the words from the written page to make melody in our hearts. Never settle for any other version of "Cherokee Fiddle" than this one that he wrote. It is the best!....luv ya, Michael--Rhonda B.
