4.0 out of 5 stars
Not the original hits, but well done nonetheless..., April 21, 2011
This review is from: Easy to Please (Audio CD)
These are rerecordings of Janie's greatest hits. Ordinarily, I would roundly pan such a collection, but I have to say, Janie is in fine voice on the album and the musical interpretations are pretty close to the originals. I'm not sure when she recorded these new tracks, but she sounds every bit a strong and fresh as when she sang them originally. For diehard fans and completists, this is a nice collection. But if you're a casual fan looking for a nice overview of Janie's work, seek out the out-of-print Anthology on Renaissance Records, the out-of-print Celebration CD from 1987, or the still-in-print 17 Greatest Hits. These CDs contain the original recordings.
