Perfect new album, delivered on time. All the greatest hits of Lenny. Price wasn't bad either. What more could you ask for?

From the beginning, Lenny Kravitz has been an enigma. He's a rock star with streamers in so many gene pools that his songs were often surprise packages of whom he'd be this year. He's a man with a soul obsession with Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye, the idealistic rocker that worships John Lennon and Led Zepplin, and the modern pop rock desires that would have him emulate Prince and work with Madonna. He also plays guitar with a Hendrixian flair. Scope that over a decade's worth of music, and you get the culmination of tracks that compose Kravitz' Greatest Hits. Kravitz' crazy-quilt of style is a music fan's delight. From his early Beatles hommage "Let Love Rule" to the Princely message funk of "Mr Cab Driver," Kravitz made an audacious debut on Let Love Rule. He came off as a one man flower-child, which made the sudden left-turn into the easy grooving Mama Said shocking. But the Curtis Mayfield hit "It Ain't Over Till It's Over" pushed Kravitz into hitmaker territory. At the same time, those rock instincts were pushing the envelope as Guns and Roses guitar slinger Slash co-wrote "Always On The Run." As he came more and more into his own voice, Kravitz aimed for the stadium bleachers and scored when the Hendrix styled "Are You Gonna Go My Way" became a mammoth rock radio hit and a retro-video smash. The insistently classic rock loaded Are You Gonna Go My Way album remains his most consistent album, but it was the followup, Circus, that gave Kravitz his first top ten album. This time, the Zep influence howls from "Rock and Roll Is Dead." But is was also where Kravitz lost focus, which is indicated by the fact that only two songs from that album are included here. Kravitz took a four year break, cut his hair, trimmed his musical excesses, and came back with 5. Focused and less dependant on retro-rocking, the slow build of "Fly Away" and the killer remake of "American Woman" (which was featured in "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me") captured an artist at the peak of maturity and prowess. "Black Velveteen" returns full-circle to his Prince fascination. It wraps up Kravitz first decade, along with a powerful new song "Again." As collections go, it serves its subject well. Lenny Kravitz' classic rock identity crisis made for fascinating musical evolution before finally resolving itself. Given that his career since has held steady (Lenny to the recent It Is Time For A Love Revolution), Volume Two will probably just as solid as this best of.

I'm surprised that there were enough so-called "hits" for this bone-headed guitarist to fill an album. Lenny should go back to what he does best: modelling.

When a Greatest Hits album contains only 1 or 2 decent tunes: it's time to hang it up!

Lenny Kravitz is the man.

Why are all artists releasing a new album of their greatest hits. And they all are awful. This one is no exception. This Cd could bore you to tears, if you actually spent the time to listen to it. Besides 2 or 3 songs, the Cd is not a good collaboration of Lenny Kravitz hits. The record company should be ashamed of themselves.

yea really, Lenny Kravitz and Finley Quaye are the best songwriters out there today!!

Whats not to like, Lenny ROCKS!

This cd traces very well the career of Lenny Kravitz. It includes both old and new songs. All of his old songs are really great hits, and the new one "Again" will most likely become one too. If you're a Lenny Kravitz fan, this is the cd for you. All the best songs he has ever done are on here.
