Accompaniment a big disappointment - not the BEST.......2006-02-11

For those looking for a good collection of Ryoko Moriyama's gutsy folk hits of the early 1970's, this CD will probably be a big disappointment. The folk/guitar/light background has been replaced, even in her first hit, Kono hiroi nohara ippai, with a poor orchestrial accompaniment, that saps the songs of their charm. Moriyama's voice is as clean, strong, and crisp as ever, and may appeal to anyone looking for a collection of easy listening, but the CD is ruined for anyone nostalgic for the Moriyama's hits as they originally appeared.

She was one of my favorite artists in the great college folk and pops era, and she is still going strong, but this is simply not "The Best." Check out some other Moriyama collections like the "Tears" (Namida) album rather than being swayed by this 2 CD, 37 song slog. Perhaps some of the later songs on the CDs are OK. I don't know. I stopped after the seventh song on the first disc.
