About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

This compilation, whose release was sparked by the 1972 success of "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress," the Hollies' most successful American single, contains 12 of their 14 biggest U.S. hits, 1964-1972, missing only "Jennifer Eccles" and "I Can't Let Go," for which it substitutes the slightly lower-charting, but perhaps more familiar "Dear Eloise" and "King Midas in Reverse." As such, it is very nearly as good a one-LP hits collection as there could be for the U.S. market at this time. [The 2002 reissue features one extra song: "Air That I Breathe."] William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Hollies' Greatest Hits [Bonus Track]by Anonymous

January 16, 2004: If you only listened to 10 British groups from the 1960's, you would have to include the Hollies. The Hollies unique three-part vocals, centered on Allan Clarke (easily one of the five best vocalists of the British Invasion era) and were bookended by Tony Hicks and high-voice Graham Nash. The Hollies are one of the few groups that are instantly recognizeable upon first hearing them. This compilation is an excellent place to hear the Hollies at their best. "Bus Stop" is a great example of telling a story with the fewest words....almost a shorthand way of storytelling. "Carrie Ann", with unique steel drum sound, "Stop Stop Stop" with electric banjo and the fully- orchestrated "King Midas In Reverse" give three distinct sounds on this compilation. "Look Through Any Window", "Just One Look" and "On a Carousel" are all uplifting pop at its best. "Long Cool Woman" features what many observers consider the greatest guitar opening of the era, while "The Air That I Breathe" proved that the Hollies sound was adaptable to a new audience in 1974. "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" is the seminal pop song (listen for Elton John on piano). The song was so good, that a full 19 years after its initial release (1969), it returned all the way to # 1 on the British charts in 1988. Few songs of the pop era can claim such staying power. The Hollies Greatest Hits is a fantastic place to hear this wonderful group!
