Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.co.uk
Not exactly a country artist, since her records lack twang, and too casual and intimate to make for a standard-issue pop performer, Anne Murray's phenomenally warm, smooth voice has nevertheless secured a lofty place for her in both categories--and has occasionally brought her into the mainstream (read: traditionally rock and soul dominated) pop arena. If you're not a fan, or much of a country enthusiast, it's her 1970s pop hits that'll make the package worthwhile. "Snowbird" is here, as is "You Needed Me". If you are a fan, or are looking for songs that hit only on the country or Canadian charts, there'll be a lot of key stuff missing. --Gavin McNett

A Must for Serious Music Fans! (2004-07-19)  Anne Murray - The Best...So Far is must for any serious music collection. Murray has been in the business more than 35 years, has sold more than 40 million records, and is still selling out concert halls today. The songs included are songs we all know by heart including her four Grammy winning songs (Love Song, You Needed Me, Could I Have This Dance, A Little Good News), the early RPM award winning songs (Snowbird, Danny's Song), her Duet of the Year with Dave Loggins (Nobody Loves Me Like You Do), and countless others. The woman who has been named Female Vocalist of the Year more than 20 times by various awards shows and has won more JUNOs than anyone - EVER -has indeed put 20 of her finest tracks on this one CD. This includes one unreleased gem of a song - the sweetly sentimental Over You. Of course there will be some songs that weren't included on the CD that could have been there, but that's only because Murray had so many top-notch songs to choose from. Indeed, these 20 songs do represent Murray's incredible success in the business...so far. If it's not in your collection, add it right away. You won't be disappointed.
A great compilation of Anne's music (2003-10-16)  This compilation, concentrating as it does on the American hit singles, is not necessarily the best of Anne Murray. Two of my favorite Anne Murray tracks - Wintry feeling and Song for the Mira - were not released as singles, but I would certainly rate them more highly than some of the major hits. That said, this is a compilation of extremely high quality. All the classics are here including Snowbird (the song that made her famous), You needed me (an American number one pop hit), Danny's song, You won't see me (a cover of a Beatles song), Daydream believer (a cover of a Monkees hit), Could I have this dance (from the Urban cowboy soundtrack) and A little good news (a political song, rare for Anne). Of the others, I particularly like Just another woman in love, Broken hearted me, Shadows in the moonlight and I just fall in love again. While it is not possible to fit all of Anne's classic songs on one CD, this is an excellent collection. If you only want one CD of Anne's music, this is a good choice.
Good, but incomplete. (2003-08-09)  This is a very good compilation of Anne's pop hits, but unfortunately once again two of her best have been omitted: "Walk Right Back" and "Lucky Me". While both were country hits, they nonetheless crossed over to the pop charts and enjoyed considerable success as pop singles, just like "Danny's Song", "Could I Have This Dance", "Blessed Are The Believers" and "Another Sleepless Night". There is an album of all Anne's hits out there, and hopefully someday soon amazon.com will stock it. Until they do, hold off on your purchase. Unless of course, you can't wait -- then buy both!
No CD collection would be complete without it (2003-05-30)  A career spanning 35 years, close to 50 million albums sold, charted hits in pop, rock, country (11 #1 Billboard songs !), easy listening, contemporary christian, as well as adult contemporary-who else has such a record ? Only Anne has the warm, smooth, silky voice to achieve such a distinguished feat in the international music scene. "Snowbird" is probably one of the best songs recorded ever. "You Won't See Me" prompted John Lennon to exclaim Anne had the best Beatles cover ever. Elvis' favorite female singer also shines on " a Love Song" , "Danny's Song" (both penned by Kenny Loggins). The Carole King penned " Time Don't Run out on Me" is her most powerful ever, with backing vocals from the lead singer of Mr Mr (Richard Paige). "A Little Good News" is as relevant as ever, especially since 9/11. Finally the new cut "Over You" showcases Anne's trademark ballad perfection with the David Foster produced track. No credible music fan can be without this one...
Excellent CD (2003-03-11)  This cd is filled with hit after hit of Anne Murray's. I can't stop playing it. The only song I wish it had is "Fill Me Up to the Top". Outside of that, this is a great masterpiece of her greatest hits. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who enjoys the light sounds of Anne Murray.
