From There To Here: Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits compilation released by American country music group Lonestar. In addition to chronicling the greatest hits from their first four studio albums, the album includes the newly recorded tracks "My Front Porch Looking In", "Walking in Memphis" (a cover of the 1991 Marc Cohn song) and "I Pray", as well as a second recording of their 2001 single "I'm Already There". "My Front Porch Looking In" and "Walking in Memphis" were both released as singles.
From There to Here: Greatest Hits comprises thirteen tracks from the band's first four studio albums, arranged chronologically and starting with the band's 1995 debut single "Tequila Talkin'". This, "No News" and "Runnin' Away with My Heart" all come from Lonestar's self-titled debut album. "Come Cryin' to Me", "You Walked In" and "Everything's Changed" are from 1997's Crazy Nights; "Amazed", "Smile", "What About Now" and "Tell Her" from 1999's Lonely Grill; and "I'm Already There", "With Me" and "Not a Day Goes By" from 2002's I'm Already There. Five single releases are missing from the album: "When Cowboys Didn't Dance" and "Heartbroke Every Day" from Lonestar, "Say When" from Crazy Nights, "Saturday Nights" from Lonely Grill and "Unusually Unusual" from I'm Already There.
Also included on this album are three new recordings: "My Front Porch Looking In" and "I Pray", as well as a cover of Marc Cohn's "Walking in Memphis". "My Front Porch Looking In" and "Walking in Memphis" were both released as singles in 2003, respectively reaching #1 and #8 on the U.S. country charts. Closing off the album is a remix of "I'm Already There" entitled the "Message from Home". This remix is interspersed with telephone calls placed by family members of soldiers.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album four stars out of five on Allmusic, where he called it a "fine retrospective" of the band's sound. In the Consumer Guide, however, Robert Christgau gave the album a "dud" rating and called it "a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought."
