Arranger: Edgar Meyer. Sawyer Brown, one of the most popular groups on the country scene, have had a long well-deserved string of hits. Much of their popularity can be attributed to their blend of deep country roots with a strong pop sensibility. Leader Mark Miller has a dynamic stage presence and a Pentecostal background which adds a dramatic dimension to his performance. GREATEST HITS 1990-1995 is a substantial collection--all the songs really were big hits, there's no filler here. Their style is spunky, the lyrics playful, and the music irresistable. Ballads like "All These Years" and "The Walk" are emotionally satisfying because of Miller's ability to deliver a lyric with believability. His resonant vocals can drive home a lyric about rough-housing with good ol' boys as credibly as a lyric about the fragility of marriage. "The Walk" effectively illustrates the power of traditional country music lyrics, and the genre's ability to tug at the heartstrings. "Trouble On The Line" shows off Sawyer Brown's rock 'n' roll side, particularly on the intro guitar riff which echoes "Last Train To Clarksville." GREATEST HITS 1990-1995 is the perfect introduction to the wide-ranging catalog of this beloved, award-winning country band.

One of the most successful pop-country groups to emerge in the wake of Alabama, Sawyer Brown found its first taste of national success as the Grand Prize Winner of the 1983 season of Ed McMahon's televised talent show, STAR SEARCH. With a smooth, southern rock-influenced sound that set a template for many "new country" acts of the 1990s, the Nashville-based quintet's releases consistently remained near the top of the charts for two decades. Equally adept at heartache ballads and peppy dance numbers, Sawyer Brown framed lead singer Mark Miller's warm vocals with music that, while mellow, never lost sight of the group's pure country roots.
