5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of Bonnie's music, April 13, 2005

Bonnie never achieved consistent success in Britain or America, though she has fared better in Germany. This compilation includes all Bonnie's British and American hits and a selection of her other songs.

The hits include Lost in France, More than a lover, It's a heartache, Married men, Total eclipse of the heart, Faster than the speed of night, Have you ever seen the rain, A rocking good way (with Shaking Stevens), Holding out for a hero and Loving you is a dirty job.

The track that Bonnie's committed fans will want this album for is Tyre tracks and broken hearts - it doesn't appear on any of Bonnie's original albums but is taken from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle down the wind.

Of the other non-hits, I was particularly pleased to find Bitterblue included. This was a German hit in the early nineties and sparked a revival in Bonnie's career in continental Europe, especially Germany. Goodbye to the island, the title track of her last RCA album, is another excellent choice. Straight from the heart was not a UK hit but was probably a hit somewhere and deserves inclusion. Piece of my heart, Making love out of nothing at all and My guns are loaded are all great songs, superbly performed by Bonnie, but I would have preferred Islands (a Mike Oldfield track featuring Bonnie as vocalist), Louisiana rain (my favorite among her unsuccessful RCA singles) and The best (a Bonnie Tyler original recording that failed to chart until Tina Turner covered it, when it became a major worldwide hit - you may know it as Simply the best).

Despite my reservations, this is a very strong collection, which provides a great introduction to Bonnie's music. There are plenty of other compilations around so any other tracks that you want (including Islands, Louisiana rain and The best) are easy to find if you want them.

By far, this is my favorite of her CDs and has been added to my collection. It includes a
favorite from years ago, "It's a Heartache" and some new ones that just seem to grow on you. Her voice is just as I remember from years ago so you might say I am an old fan returning again. Seeing her perform "Tire Tracks and Broken Hearts" with other guest artists performing songs by Andrew L. Webber in celebration of his 50th birthday was a reminder of how much I had enjoyed listening to her and look forward to many more hours of great music from her.

I have been looking for the song "Tyre Tracks and Broken Hearts" ever since my friend had me listen to it on a burnt cd she had of several different artists. I fell in love with the song, but had to do research to find out who sang it, and spent the next three years looking for the song. This song is definately the highlight of the album, and is her best work next to "Holding out for a Hero" which is also on this album. I love Bonnie Tyler, and this has to be the best CD that she has ever put out
