Anne Murray - Best So Far - [CD]

A full 20 hits from that impossibly warm voice that lit up both the pop and country charts in the '70s and '80s. Hits include Snowbird; You Needed Me; Danny's Song; You Won't See Me; Daydream Believer; Love Song; Broken Hearted Me , and more! Not exactly a country artist, since her records lack twang, and too casual and intimate to make for a standard-issue MOR 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 '70s 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. Investigate the 3 CD Now and Forever collection. --Gavin McNett
