When this album was released in 79, the line up that appeared on it had already changed. John C. had been replaced with Tommy. Plus the group was well on their way to superstar status by then. So wooden nickel released a best of record, from the four albums that STYX had recorded with them, before changing over to A&M records. This album contains the top ten hit Lady, and that's the only hit that is on this release. But that should not rule it out as a good cd, since it does a good job picking the better songs from that era of the band. Witch wolf, Man of Miracles, Southern Woman, Rock and Roll Feeling, and Lady are some of the songs on the cd. As a eleven track CD, it could have included a few more songs, but back when this was released, there were no Cd's, and album space was limited. So some better songs, by JY were left off, like Young Man. And not even represented, are JC's songs like A Day, The Serpent is Rising, or As Bad as This. But, this a good CD to start you the Wood Nickel years with.

Lady is the Best Of Styx cd (first two above) without the song Winner Takes It All. The song order is slightly different, but the big drawback to this cd is that halfway between What Has Come Between Us, it stops as track 7 ,then rest of the song continues as track 8. Then it goes into Rock-N-Roll Feeling, still as track 8. This is just a thrown together cd taking advantage of the Styx song Lady and Styx getting back together and touring. By the two above cds, skip this crap
