The Best of Anne Murray So Far

Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Not exactly a country artist, since her records lack twang, and too casual and intimate to make for a standard-issue pop performer, Anne Murray's phenomenally warm, smooth voice has nevertheless secured a lofty place for her in both categories--and has occasionally brought her into the mainstream (read: traditionally rock and soul dominated) pop arena. If you're not a fan, or much of a country enthusiast, it's her 1970s pop hits that'll make the package worthwhile. "Snowbird" is here, as is "You Needed Me". If you are a fan, or are looking for songs that hit only on the country or Canadian charts, there'll be a lot of key stuff missing. --Gavin McNett

Highly recommended!
[One CD, with a running time of 65:02 minutes.] The golden tones of Anne Murray have been a companion of mine for many years, and with this CD that will continue. This CD has 20 songs totaling up to over an hours worth of Anne's great songs! Many old friends are here, such as Snowbird and Danny's Song, and there are some that I am not at all familiar with, such as Over You. Over You is a great addition, in that it was released as a single, and is not on any other album (as far as I know), including the three CD Now & Forever boxed set!

This is a great CD for any Anne Murray, or anyone who simply like listening to wonderful singing (dare I say, "crooning"?) Highly recommended!

A great compilation of Anne's music
This compilation, concentrating as it does on the American hit singles, is not necessarily the best of Anne Murray. Two of my favorite Anne Murray tracks – Wintry feeling and Song for the Mira – were not released as singles, but I would certainly rate them more highly than some of the major hits. That said, this is a compilation of extremely high quality.

All the classics are here including Snowbird (the song that made her famous), You needed me (an American number one pop hit), Danny's song, You won't see me (a cover of a Beatles song), Daydream believer (a cover of a Monkees hit), Could I have this dance (from the Urban cowboy soundtrack) and A little good news (a political song, rare for Anne). Of the others, I particularly like Just another woman in love, Broken hearted me, Shadows in the moonlight and I just fall in love again.

While it is not possible to fit all of Anne's classic songs on one CD, this is an excellent collection. If you only want one CD of Anne's music, this is a good choice.

Heaven on a stick!
Absolute magic to the ears and senses. Searched high and low to try and find any Anne Murray CD as all my vinyl has been 'mislaid' over the years. Thought I'd remembered how soothing her voice is - but wrong! Ten times better than I remembered - only track I'm not mad on is 'Could I Have This Dance' - which is a bit too country for my taste. . . and the cover version of Daydream Believer (while good) could have been substituted by 'Bidin' My Time' which I am still desperate to get hold of. Other than that - the wait was well worth it - and I am about to order the 'Special Collection' - perhaps Bidin' My Time will be on that one! This album a must for all Anne Murray fans = past, present and future 'cos no-one can resist those honey tones.
