Huey Lewis music

Greatest Hits

This compilation replaces 1996's Time Flies: The Best of Huey Lewis & the News and trumps that prior disc in every way. The prior collection only contained 16 tracks, 4 of which were "new" tracks which never really did become "hits". In addition to the 12 genuine hits on "Time Flies", "Greatest Hits" adds 9 must have hits for almost 80 minutes of as-good-as-it-gets 1980's pop.

As others have stated some, not all, of the tracks are "single" versions. While this is not a problem for the tracks from Fore! and Picture This which clock in at just about their original length, it is noticeable on the Sports tracks "Heart of Rock & Roll", which is about 1 minute shorter than the LP version, & "I Want a New Drug" which loses more than a minute.

Titles:
    1. The Heart Of Rock & Roll
    2. I Want A New Drug
    3. The Power Of Love
    4. Jacob's Ladder (Step By Step)
    5. Stuck With You
    6. Doing It All For My Baby
    7. If This Is It
    8. Do You Believe In Love
    9. Heart And Soul
    10. Back In Time (from "Back To The Future")
    11. Perfect World
    12. I Know What I Like
    13. Trouble In Paradise (from the "We Are The World" album-live in San Francisco 2/21/85)
    14. It’s Alright
    15. Cruisin’ (w/Gwyneth Paltrow)

Sports

Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humour...In '87, Huey released this, "Fore," their most accomplished album.

Titles:
    1. Heart of Rock & Roll
    2. Heart and Soul
    3. Bad Is Bad
    4. I Want a New Drug
    5. Walking on a Thin Line
    6. Finally Found a Home
    7. If This Is It
    8. You Crack Me Up
    9. Honky Tonk Blues
    10. Heart of Rock & Roll [Session Take][#][*]
    11. Walking on a Thin Line [Session Take][#][*]
    12. If This Is It [Live][#][*]

Fore!

Once Huey Lewis and The News took control of their sound on Sports, their canny blend of R'N'B, Rock and Pop made them superstars. They established themselves as a first-class live act, their videos were polished and clever, and as a front man, Lewis had become a star in his own right. The follow-up was "Fore," an album that seems a bit caught up in its own desire to please and sound serious, losing some of the fun of "Sports" but still having enough ace craftsmanship that two of the songs went to number one.

Titles:
    1. Jacobs Ladder
    2. Stuck With You
    3. Whole Lotta Lovin'
    4. Doing It All for My Baby - Huey Lewis & the News, Huey Lewis & the News, Lee Thornburg
    5. Hip to Be Square
    6. I Know What I Like
    7. I Never Walk Alone
    8. Forest for the Trees
    9. Naturally
    10. Simple as That - Huey Lewis & the News, Huey Lewis & the News, Lee Thornburg
