SUPER HITS VOLUME 2 picks up where SUPER HITS left off, collecting ten singles and well-known album tracks from Nelson's nineteen-year tenure at Columbia Records. The first volume includes most of Nelson's number-one hits, but still most of the songs on VOLUME 2 should be familiar to fans of country radio. The collection focuses entirely on the mellow side of Nelson's music, drawing mostly from the singer's 1980s middle-of-the-road material. Included are several jazz standards ("Stardust," Without a Song") and light R&B covers ("Just Out of Reach," "Harbor Lights").

VOLUME 2 also features "Seven Spanish Angels," Nelson's chart-topping duet with Ray Charles; and Nelson's solo recording of "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys." All the discs in Columbia Records' SUPER HITS series contain ten popular tracks representing one artist or musical style. These budget-line discs work well as inexpensive introductions to Columbia's many country recording stars, although those searching for comprehensive hits packages should consider the label's slightly more expensive and more thorough greatest hits albums.
