Biography

Bebo Norman was an independent artist before that tag was even cool. It’s widely known how the Georgia-born singer/songwriter took a year between college and medical school to try his hand as a performing artist and had soon enough sold fifty thousand self-made copies of The Fabric of Verse (1996) at coffeehouse shows, out of the trunk, and online.

No surprise then that Dr. Norman never… Read more in Amazon's Bebo Norman Store

3.0 out of 5 stars STINGY Best Of Collection!, March 6, 2008
This review is from: Great Light of the World: The Best of Bebo Norman (Audio CD)
On the one hand it's great having a first ever Best of collection for Bebo. On the other, this is about as stingy as you can get for a Greatest Hits. And instead of the label offering it as a trimmed down low price release, they're actually asking $13.98.

No wonder CD sales are dropping!

Even the wimpy "20th Century Masters" series offers 12 cuts on their releases. And the price is usually less than 9 or 10 bucks.

This one only brings 10 to the table, and although his two signature songs ( Great Light of the World & I Will Lift My Eyes ) are here, several key Bebo hits are missing like:

"Disappear"

"I Am"

"Yes I Will"

"Borrow Mine"

...and early career concert fav's like "Walk Down This Mountain" & "The Man Inside"

No excuse to not include those songs.

As is the so called Best of Bebo Norman is worth about $4.99 as a budget release. Even then it fails in it's mission to represent all of the best works of a very talented singer/songwriter.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bebo's great - but the recording label needed to "man up" here, September 24, 2008
This review is from: Great Light of the World: The Best of Bebo Norman (Audio CD)
The ten songs on this CD are all great Bebo - probably every one worthy of inclusion in this greatest hits offering. It isn't what's here that detracts from making this a super collection, it's what's missing!

Where's "Borrow Mine"?

Where's "Cover Me"?

Where's "I Am"?

Where's - well, you get the idea!

And one can't make the argument there were just too many great songs already included. All 10 are excellent and represent among the best of this gifted young artist's efforts. But - wow! - the label didn't extend itself here! 10 songs? You've got to be kidding! Too slim for any greatest hits collection - if there's not enough material, then the record label should hold off until there is enough!

But, tragically, the failure doesn't lay with the artist - there is plenty of worthy Bebo material. This could easily have been a 14- or 15-song collection without quality dropping off. Too sad!

It isn't Bebo who failed to "man up" on this collection - it's the recording company who failed to give us a satisfyingly comprehensive collection of Bebo's best and who failed to "man up".
