All My Best is a 1985 Ricky Nelson album. Although the record is a collection of greatest hits, it is not a compilation but a new studio recording. Nelson conceived the album for his own Silver Eagle label and promoted the record himself on late-night TV. Nelson recruited the Jordanaires to provide backing vocals, and familiar session musicians.^[1] Since Nelson's session musicians had often not performed the hits from decades earlier some differences with the originals are audible on the album.^[2]
