4.0 out of 5 stars
A great compilation of Canada's tonal explorer, May 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: In By of (Audio CD)
I have to enter the Wayback to tell you of my first experiences with Mr. Wiseman and his first album IN HER DREAMS. It hit me with the same resonance as The Velvet Underground's debut, the first time I heard Tom Waits' RAIN DOGS and Big Star's NUMBER ONE RECORD. Like them, it holds the same virtuosity expressed in muddy, imperfect melodies and revealing lyrics. This compilation demonstrates Wiseman's work throughout his solo career, (He was the keybordist for Blue Rodeo). Like the aforementioned artists, his work is usually hit-or-miss with first timers but listening to this 'best of' a few times can open up an appreciation for a formidable and challenging talent.

I LOVE BOB!, November 19, 1999

I love Bob! A necessary antidote to the computer- and marketing-constructed pablum you're likely to hear by committing the currently unwise and practically unjustifiable act of turning on your radio. Thank God for Bob! Everyone should own this album.
