Terri Clark — 20th Century Masters: The Best Of Terri Clark (2006)

The Terri Clark title in Universal Music Group\’s extensive, if awkwardly titled, budget-priced best-of series, 20th Century Masters — The Millennium Collection, presents 12 tracks, every one of them a Billboard country singles chart entry between 1995 and 2005. The obvious comparison to make is between this album and Clark\’s earlier compilation, the 14-track Greatest Hits 1994-2004, which was selling at a list price four dollars higher as of 2006 ($13.98 versus $9.98). That set features more of Clark\’s big hits — \»Better Things to Do,\» \»If I Were You,\» and \»Emotional Girl,\» all of which reached the country Top Ten, are included, but they are not on 20th Century Masters — The Millennium Collection. Also missing are \»Every I Cry\» (which hit number 12) and \»One of the Guys\» (which was not a chart single). On the other hand, the less-expensive disc includes \»The World Needs a Drink,\» a Top 40 country hit released after Greatest Hits 1994-2004, and the minor chart entries \»Suddenly Single\» and \»Unsung Hero,\» which are not on Greatest Hits 1994-2004. And the Top 40 country hit \»No Fear\» appears in its original studio version on 20th Century Masters — The Millennium Collection, having been replaced by a live version on Greatest Hits 1994-2004. So, while there is an overlap of eight tracks on the two compilations, there are several variations, too, and neither one is a comprehensive collection of Clark\’s hits.
