Anne Murray, Ultimate Collection
I purchased this CD for a friend who has learning difficulties. She loves Anne Murray and this album has all her hits on. It will probably be worn out by now because it will be played constantly!! Great value for money.

Nice mix of covers and originals
This compilation contains some of Anne's American country hits together with some covers of songs made famous by others. Anne only had a few (mostly minor) hits in Britain – Snowbird, Destiny, You needed me and Daydream believer (a cover of a Monkees hit)– and they are all here.pSome of her other country hits are here, including He thinks I still care (a cover of the George Jones classic She thinks I still care), I just fall in love again, Could I have this dance and Now and forever. Casual buyers at whom this compilation is aimed probably don't know these songs unless they already have another Anne Murray compilation, in which case they will be paying for several tracks that they already have.pMost but not of the other songs will be familiar to Brits via other versions. These include You've got a friend (James Taylor), Killing me softly (Roberta Flack), I'll never fall in love again (Bobbie Gentry), Just one look (Hollies – originally an American hit for Doris Troy), Walk right back (Everly brothers), Secret love (a UK hit for Doris Day in the fifties and Kathy Kirby in the sixties), You belong to me (Jo Stafford) and Wayward wind (Frank Ifield – originally an American hit for Gogi Grant).pIn its way, this is a fine collection that makes a great introduction to Anne's music for the uninitiated. Personally, I would find an all-covers album more interesting than this mix of covers and originals, but this compilation was not designed for committed fans like me. Every song here can be found elsewhere, though you'd have to buy a lot of Anne's music to get them all.pIf you haven't got any of Anne's music and are not familiar with her American hits, you may find this more appealing (and cheaper) than a Best of collection.
