5.0 out of 5 stars Ferron's Greatest Hits!, May 22, 2001

Here is a wonderful collection of 28 of her most brilliant songs (nearly 2.5 hrs of digital bliss), gathered from nearly all her previous releases over a 30 year career. Several of the albums are presently out-of-print, so here is a wonderful opportunity to get what you can when you can. A beautifully designed booklet accompanies the double-CD, serving as an autobiography rendered in a cyclical, not linear, narrative: like seeing a Buddhist mandala, and finally ascertaining moments of import to the maker. This is your chance to own a well-chosen collection: makes a great gift, a Ferron sampler for all those impressionistic friends you've been trying to convince all these years about what a gifted artist we have in our times, and sometimes when we're lucky, in our towns. For Ferron Live at the Great American Music Hall, see her "Not a Still Life" CD.

If you've been jonesing for "Testimony" on CD, this will help calm the shakes, especially with "Our Purpose Here" and a PERFECT live version of "Ain't Life A Brook". Be you gay or just fey, these selections will help you ponder your life in musical clarity, with never a cliche from Ferron as your guide. There simply are not enough stars to rate this CD. Buy this NOW.

For the new or long time fan, this is a great compilation. I've heard her perform 3 times but don't have all of her recordings. This is a great mix from across her career and wonderful to listen to even if you've heard her music before.
