Having sold nearly two million albums and accumulated seven number one radio singles, American band FFH have taken stock by releasing this retrospective of songs from their 10 year tenure with Essential Records. Spanning seven albums, only 10 tracks have been picked which, given the amount of quality material that FFH have released in the past, does seem a bit measly. Nonetheless, the songs on offer here are top notch and include the quirky "Big Fish" and the anthem-like "One Of These Days" from 1998's 'I Want To Be Like You' - both of which showcase the stunning harmonies and slick Nashville production of Scott Williamson that have become FFH's trademarks over the years. Elsewhere, the guitar-lead "Fly Away" and the lush pop of "You Found Me" maintain the album's almost constant breakneck tempo whilst the group show a more contemplative side in the meditational song of hope "Still The Cross" from the album of the same name. Whilst this release won't add much value to the established FFH fan's collection, it does give the unfamiliar listener a taste of one of CCM's most enduring and creative bands.
