Customer Reviews:

"Best Of" isn't the best, but..........2007-01-10

As a long-time fan of Mary Black I was looking forward to this volume. However, the "Best of" disk was somewhat of a dissapointment. The second disk in the package, "Hidden Harvest," is worth the price of admission and then some. The duets are a treat, the selections wonderful, and if you're a fan, you won't want to miss it.

Error.......2006-04-23

While transfering this CD to iPod itune named track 3 on disk 2
INTO THE BLUE but box has SAW YOU RUNNING as does AMAZON.COM and other music store on internet.
Maybe I got a import copy with different track.

Better to have left it alone.......2005-05-09

As a "Best Of" album this is, overall, a worthy effort.

So why only three stars, you ask?

I answer: "Song for Ireland"

My first experience with Mary Black was "Song for Ireland" on the Putyamo "Women of the World Celtic" album and I was hooked -it remains one of my favorite songs of all time.

And it was HORRIFICALLY OVERDONE on this album. I tried, I really tried, but couldn't even force myself the entire way through it.

A word of advice: If you ever wake up and find yourself a famous and widely-loved recording artist, try to bear in mind that your most-loved songs are most-loved because of the way you've recorded them.....and don't change them for a "Best Of" album - it's just counter-intuitive.

The best of Mary Black?.......2004-06-28

I have all of Mary Blacks music available on compact disc. This album was my latest choice and it was indeed not the best of Mary Black in my opinion. Her rendition of "Who knows where the time goes" lacked the hauntingness of the original Judy Collins version.I didn't care much for her choice of songs for a "best of" album.I have put it back on my bookshelf. This album has none of the beauty of "Circus". I regret buying it and will be more cautious in the future.

Great collection.......2004-06-26

I have owned this "best of" collection for a couple of years now, and never grow weary of listening to both discs. As previous reviewers have noted, the "Hidden Harvest" CD is truly outstanding and worth the price of admission on its own. For those looking for a great introduction to Mary Black's artistry and wonderful voice, this is the ticket. Highest recommendation.
