Keith Whitley
's tragic bio easily transfers to TV dramas and celebrity gossip. During the '70s he gained a reputation as a skillful musician and singer working with top-notch
bluegrass
bands including
Ralph Stanley
and
J.D. Crowe
, but by the '80s, he made his play for fame and fortune with a
traditional country
sound.
Whitley
soon won fame and fortune, but by 1989, he was dead of alcohol poisoning. Incredibly, the songs represented by
16 Biggest Hits
all reached the charts between 1984 and 1991, showing just what a moving force
Whitley
's music was during these years. Five, including
"When You Say Nothing at All"
in 1988 and
"I'm No Stranger to the Rain"
in 1989, reached number one. In a way then,
16 Biggest Hits
not only represents a nice sampling of
Whitley
's most popular singles, but also something of a
country
music time capsule of the era. The material also offers a snapshot of new and
neo-traditionalist
music from the era, a style that partially returned to
country
music's roots. What really stands out on this collection, though, is
Whitley
's vocal treatment of
ballads
like
"I Wonder Do You Think of Me"
and
"Would These Arms Be in Your Way."
His soulful, gritty delivery adds authenticity to these numbers, leaving the listener to understand that he, unlike a lot of
country
singers to follow, was actually born in the South (Kentucky). For anyone looking for a one-stop collection of
Whitley
's best-remembered songs,
16 Hits
more than fits the bill. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., All Music Guide
