Like his first Greatest Hits volume, it compiles 12 hit songs from his previous albums and adds four new recordings: the romantic duet "Easy for Me to Say" (his second duet with wife Lisa Hartman Black), "Little Pearl and Lily's Lullaby" (a song for their then-newborn daughter), the country-rocker "Money or Love", and a newly recorded "blues version" of "Put Yourself in My Shoes". Also included is the long version of Black's 1997 duet with Martina McBride, "Still Holding On", which was the B-side of that single.
