5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sampling of Sophie B. Hawkins' Early Work, June 9, 2005
By Mary M. Mcmanus "mmcmanus11" (Down the Shore, NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
These are remarkable songs from a truly inspired artist. They show the depth of her poetic lyrics and the strength of her varied musical skills. The two major hits are "Damn I wish I was Your Lover" and "As I Lay Me Down." The remastering on these brings out some nice instrumentality. "Before I Walk on Fire" is an tour de force of "emotional instrospection and self assertion. "Only Love" and "Right Beside You" were follow-up hits that are pure gold. "I Want You" is a heartwrenching rendition of the Bob Dylan song. This is the type of CD that you can leave in your CD player for weeks at a time and never get tired of listening because ther is something new to discover with the multi-faceted lyrics and the beautifully layered musical composition. This is a true gem. GET IT NOW!!!
Also, consider Sophie B. Hawkins' post-Sony music on Timbre and Wilderness, which ranges from rock guitar rifts to extraordinary live blues with several beautiful and haunting soul-searching ballads in between.

5.0 out of 5 stars good CD, January 22, 2006
By Seehorse72 (Danbury, Connecticut United States) - See all my reviews
  
This has all the songs that we all know plus some more. I had not been too exposed to Sophie's music, but I found that this CD is a good opportunity to get a good listen to her stuff. I think it's well worth checking out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Damn..., April 22, 2006
By Cowboy on the Ocean (West Texas Native) - See all my reviews
Sophie B Hawkins, best known for her hit single, "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover," (by far her biggest and best hit) has now come out with this, her greatest hits album. Her follow up to her first single was "As I Lay Me Down," with is also a great song.

Hawkins has a very unique writing style that many will love. While you may not of heard much from her after "As I Lay Me Down," the rest of the songs on this CD are still quality.

A great album for any fan or Sophie or early 90s Pop/Rock. The nostalgia in this CD will surely have you reaching for the repeat button.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just always a fan...
I have just always liked Sophie's sophisticated, husky voice, and the music tracks in 'I wish I was your Lover' and in 'As I Lay Me Down'. Great songs, nicely performed.

2.0 out of 5 stars one star for each good song on the album
Most of the songs on this album are very self indulgent. That's great if you just want art, but not if you want to sell CDs. There are 2 well known, and listenable songs.
