The Very Best of Chuck Jackson is a 16-track retrospective of his classic
Wand recordings, featuring all of his biggest hits (
"I Don't Want to Cry," "I Wake Up Crying," "Any Day Now," "Tell Him I'm Not Home," and the
Maxine Brown duet
"Something You Got") and several fine, lesser-known singles.
Jackson's work was remarkably consistent, and there are many fine songs that didn't make the cut, but
The Very Best of Chuck Jackson is the best single-disc overview of his greatest music yet assembled.
