This review is from: Counting Backwards (Audio CD)

This is the CD single for "Counting Backwards" by Throwing Muses from their album 'The Real Ramona'. It is a must have for fans of the Muses and fans of Kristin Hersh, featuring the ubiquitous single as well as the rare and beautiful song "Same Sun", and a cover of the traditional hymn "Amazing Grace". (This version of "Amazing Grace" differs from that on the 'Holy Single', being Muses-electric over solo-Hersh-acoustic).

counting backwards is a great 90's rocker, same sun is a great slow boiler, but...

this version of amazing grace is the best version i have ever heard. i first heard it when it came out in '91 from a friends copy, and i basically had to wait for the internet to flourish to find my copy. but, man, was it worth it. such a cool, steady guitar march, which slowly builds into an inspirational and transcendent reverie. unbelievable.

this is simply one of my favorite songs, period.

p.s. for another fantastic version of amazing grace, check out the daniel lanois album 'acadie' (which is also a great, great album).
