The 12-track
Platinum & Gold Collection covers
Keith Whitley's short commercially productive period of 1985 through 1989, the year he passed away. Included are the hits "I'm No Stranger to the Rain," "It Ain't Nothin'," and "When You Say Nothing at All." Also featured are tunes recorded by
Whitley but made popular by others: "On the Other Hand" by
Randy Travis and "I'm Gonna Hurt Her on the Radio" by
David Allan Coe and
Shenandoah. While this is a good, affordable disc, it leaves off too many of
Whitley's classics to be definitive. ~ Al Campbell
