This Is Ty Herndon: Greatest Hits is the first compilation album by American country music artist Ty Herndon, released on March 26, 2002 via Epic Nashville. It was the last project he released for the label. The compilation includes ten of his previous singles, along with three new tracks. Before its release, Herndon has a moderate hit with "Heather's Wall", the planned lead single from his scrapped fifth studio album.
Only one single was released, the song titled "A Few Short Years". It peaked at number 55 on the US Hot Country Songs chart, becoming his last entry to date on that chart. The compilation peaked at number 32 on the Top Country Albums chart.
This Is Ty Herndon: Greatest Hits includes 13 tracks. The first ten are all previous songs of his, including his number one hits "What Mattered Most", "Living in a Moment", and "It Must Be Love". Other notable hits included are "Hands of a Working Man" and "Loved Too Much". Three new tracks were recorded; all three were produced by Biff Watson and Paul Worley. He explained the song's message in an interview by saying, "Life is way too short. You have to fully live life every day and not miss the lessons. This song reminds me of that daily leap. When we shy away from life, we shy away from living." [3]
