Good collection from an excellent singer

I had never heard of Eva Cassidy until a Facebook friend (in Italy!) hipped me to her. As you might guess from the title, this album is a selection of tracks from several of her other albums. It starts with "You Take My Breath Away," which doesn't do a lot for me, but the rest is excellent. My favorite track is "Wade on the Water," but she also does a wonderful "Autumn Leaves," "People Get Ready." and "Over the Rainbow." Also "Time After Time" (the Cyndi Lauper song, not the Great American Songbook standard) and "Ain't No Sunshine." I've never been a great fan of "What a Wonderful World," but knowing that it was the last song she performed live, shortly before her death from melanoma, lends it an extra poignancy. If you don't know her voice or her work, this is a good place to start.

A great collection of a great voice. That mellow voice is timeless. This is a fine collection.

A good collection of live Iron Maiden songs with a few that are not common among other collections, ("Wildest Dreams", "Paschendale", "Rainmaker", etc.); as well the classics you'd expect, ("Wrathchild", "Run To the Hills", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", etc.). Mixing/editing is good. Bruce's voice is on point.

This is a solid collection of songs, highlighted by better know pieces like Ooh La La, Strict Machine, and Train. A few of the slower numbers feel repetitive, but are certainly not bad listening.

This is not my favorite album of his, but I do like many of the songs.  What a voice and I have many of his CD's.

This album is a collection of Katherine's recordings of songs that have featured in a number of movies. If you have her previous albums, then you already have these songs. If you don't have her previous albums, then this album is a good introduction to her superb singing, and perhaps you'll decide to buy the others as well. It is in any case a convenient collection of classical songs that have become familiar to the wider public from their use in movie tracks.

One fine compilation of tunes.  His singing leaves a bit to be desired but you don't buy his music for the vocals - lol.

I really like the "Old" Country Songs.  For one thing, I can usually sing along with them. This is a really good collection of his songs.  I also like the fact that each disc has its own title; other than Disc 1(Honky Tonk Legend), Disc 2(Country Original), and Disc 3(Hey Good Lookin'). - BMF

This is a collection of Warren Zevon's songs performed by other artists.  It's a very nice collection and there's not a bad song on it.  As a huge fan of his work, I prefer his own original versions of the songs, but this is a nice addition to the collection.  If you enjoyed his music, you'll probably like this disc.

Scott Walker is one of those "legendary" names that I'd heard of for many years, but until recently I don't think I'd actually ever heard a song by him. But I heard one tune on a various artists compilation that really struck me --- or should I say, that amazing voice of his struck me --- so I decided to splurge on this collection of his solo recordings. I don't love everything on here, but I find it to be a good introduction to his music.

All of the songs on this single disc collection are from 1967-1969, along with one tune recorded in 1973, his cover of "Any Day Now". I think what will strike most new listeners, like it did me, is just how mellow these tunes are. I wouldn't quite go as far as to dub this easy listening, but honestly, as far as the arrangements, and even Scott Walker's vocal style, it's pretty much in the same neigbhorhood as crooners like Andy Williams and Johnny Mathis --- both of whom I also like --- but with a twist. It's mellow, but not lightweight. Walker's rich vocals have a deeper and darker timbre to them at times, giving the songs added weight and gravitas. He also has a flair for the theatrical as show on his covers of four Jacque Brel songs. My favorite tracks on here are the two Tim Hardin covers, "The Lady Came From Baltimore" and "Black Sheep Boy." Sheer vocal magic! I'm also quite fond of "Joanna", "Lights of Cincinatti", and "The Amorphous Humphrey Plugg."

The CD comes with a thin booklet that include a short essay about Scott Walker's recording career by Daryl Easlea. If you're a neophyte Scott Walker listener like I was, you might also like this introductory collection to his music. Although it covers only a short period of his career, it's packed some very lovely tunes. I'm impressed.

I have enjoyed this American Idol singer from down home.  He has a nice rich voice.  This CD is the first that I have bought of his, but I enjoy listening to it. Wish it would have had a few more original songs, but then, I like the known Christmas carols too. I think you will like this CD alot

I am a huge fan of Ms Fernandez', and this is a very nice collection. I find it suffers only from typecasting, that it is a collection of "negro" songs not giving Ms Fernandez an opportunity to show the range and beauty of her highly-trained voice, her art.

The song selection for this Best Of collection is very good. I had the last two albums and was (and still may later) going to buy the two older albums however I decided to buy this now and may buy the others later.

This is a good value purchase of Toni Braxton's songs.  This is for anyone who might not get through 75 minutes of Ultimate Toni Braxton from 2003, but might go through 45-50 minutes of this one. This album is different for that includes a few remixes, sometimes dance-related, of the hits, instead of the same 12 sad love song ballads that she's well known for. Instead, the handlers make it more fun and upbeat in most cases instead of downbeat and sad. But familiar hits like Another Sad Love Song, He Wasn't Man Enough, Breathe Again, Unbreak My Heart and others are found here. Braxton still is out there with her latest effort Libra, but this collection recalls what made her a star in the first place.

Nice collection of arias not in some other anthologies.

Bonnie Dobson's voice is very similar to that of Joan Baez's voice, and she is a very smooth excellent singer. On this album on CD her voice is supported by a symphonic orchestra, or at least the string section, which adds a lot to the recording. This is a very easy to listen to collection of songs, good but maybe no aces. It's very pleasant overall. Here she transitions from a folk singer to a pop singer very nicely.

I love her voice.....  so I am biased.
But there are definitely some really good songs on this album. I enjoyed it
