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 television.
Nelson recruited the Jordanaires to provide backing vocals, as well as familiar session musicians.[1] Since Nelson's session musicians had not performed the songs for many years, some differences from the original recordings are audible on the album.[2]
