4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Collection, January 31, 2010

I decided to order this collection, even though I already have each of Mary's five studio albums. This is actually a collection of the best songs from the first three albums. They have truly picked the best songs, and the sound quality appears to be upgraded or remastered. The result is a great, powerful album, just like all of Mary's albums. If you like this one, please go back and listen to each of the five: they are each great in their own way. And I am looking forward to Mary's newest album, which is apparently a kind of "folk opera", coming soon.

I came to this collection by way of my affection for blues vocals. There aren't "blues" here like there aren't blues in the wind blowing - from the same direction, with the same feelings, but a different sound, coming out of melody that echoes back to the Picts by way of Appalachia. There are so many fragments of other things and places it evokes (Van Morrison, Edie Brickell, Johnny Cash, Lou Reed, Bonnie Raitt) not by sound but by feeling. Very haunting and simple. I will definitely be back for more.
