(Morello Records) 40 tracks

Four original albums released for the first time in one package.
- All were recorded between 1999 and 2004 for Atlantic and Warner Bros.

The first album in this collection, "Home To You" (1999), was produced by Garth Fundis, who had already made a name for himself working with Trisha Yearwood, Keith Whitley and Don Williams. The album was praised for its powerful ballads, an area of music that became Montgomery's forte.

Brand New Me" (2000) reached number 2 in the album charts and includes the number 1 single "The Little Girl". John Michael Montgomery produced this album together with Buddy Cannon and Norro Wilson.

Two years later, Warner Bros, the parent company of Atlantic Records, released his album "Pictures", which was co-produced by him and Scott Hendricks. One reviewer criticized his songs as flowing by "like a gentle summer breeze".

Letters From Home" was co-produced by Montgomery and Byron Gallimore and stayed in the charts for 22 weeks, eventually reaching number 3. The title track reflects on the tragedy of 9/11 and reached number 2 in the singles charts.
