5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sampling of Sophie B. Hawkins' Early Work, June 9, 2005

These are remarkable songs from a truly inspired artist. They show the depth of her poetic lyrics and the strength of her varied musical skills. The two major hits are "Damn I wish I was Your Lover" and "As I Lay Me Down." The remastering on these brings out some nice instrumentality. "Before I Walk on Fire" is an tour de force of "emotional instrospection and self assertion. "Only Love" and "Right Beside You" were follow-up hits that are pure gold. "I Want You" is a heartwrenching rendition of the Bob Dylan song. This is the type of CD that you can leave in your CD player for weeks at a time and never get tired of listening because ther is something new to discover with the multi-faceted lyrics and the beautifully layered musical composition. This is a true gem. GET IT NOW!!!
Also, consider Sophie B. Hawkins' post-Sony music on Timbre and Wilderness, which ranges from rock guitar rifts to extraordinary live blues with several beautiful and haunting soul-searching ballads in between.

This has all the songs that we all know plus some more. I had not been too exposed to Sophie's music, but I found that this CD is a good opportunity to get a good listen to her stuff. I think it's well worth checking out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Damn..., April 22, 2006

Sophie B Hawkins, best known for her hit single, "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover," (by far her biggest and best hit) has now come out with this, her greatest hits album. Her follow up to her first single was "As I Lay Me Down," with is also a great song.

Hawkins has a very unique writing style that many will love. While you may not of heard much from her after "As I Lay Me Down," the rest of the songs on this CD are still quality.

A great album for any fan or Sophie or early 90s Pop/Rock. The nostalgia in this CD will surely have you reaching for the repeat button.
