"Like The Rain" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.

Clint Black is at the vanguard of modern country music, having been among the first to successfully blend the honky-tonk feel of Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell with the sound of current pop and rock. The one tune on this collection of his 1989-1996 work that he didn't write isn't a Williams or Frizzell tune or anything like that; it's a cover of the Eagles' "Desperado." There are three other previously-unreleased Black tracks here to go with a dozen hits that cover the highlights of his so-far very consistent, very modern career.

All of Black's milestones are here, from the moody, atmospheric "Like The Rain" to the bluesy groove of "Half Way Up." Not just a pretty face with a cowboy hat, Black shows off the breadth of his compositional prowess, and a great workingman's voice.

Along with Garth Brooks, Clint Black was part of the first wave of "hat acts"--cowboy-hatted hunks singing country music influenced as much by classic rock and pop as by George and Merle. But as his first GREATEST HITS collection demonstrates, Black was one of the few "hat acts" who had more than a pretty smile underneath that lid. Unlike most country artists, Black writes all his own material, and the songs collected here are among his best: deeply emotional works filled with finely-wrought lyrics and original, yet catchy, melodies.

GREATEST HITS spans Black's first five albums, including his brilliant debut single "A Better Man," the breezy "Summer's Comin'" and "State of Mind," the heartbroke ballad "Burn One Down," and his fine duet with Wynonna, "A Bad Goodbye." His knack for turning a phrase is evident in "Killin' Time" and its sequel, "No Time to Kill," as well as in "A Good Run of Bad Luck" and "Wherever You Go." GREATEST HITS also includes four bonus tracks: Black's great live version of the Eagles' "Desperado," "Like the Rain" and "Halfway Up" (with harmonies by his wife, actress Lisa Hartman Black) and "Cadillac Jack Favor," a story song which eventually inspired a TV movie.
