Advantages: Neat production, intimate vocals
Disadvantages: Thin lyrics

...There's a strangely uneven quality to this collection of songs by Sheryl Crow. It's as if they were all penned hastily on the plane somewhere on the journey from Nashville to LA. Musically, that seems to be the trip Sheryl Crow's always taking. At times, the lyrics are vacuous, almost embarrassing, paper thin. In that context, it's extraordinary to read in the sleeve notes that 'the album was a three year labour of love'.

Advantages: Eight of the greatest albums ever made
Disadvantages: None

...TVZ was the greatest songwriter, lyricist, and singer ever. I was lucky enought to see him play live, once in Leicester in 1994, and then in London in December 1995. Both awesome experiences. This cd box set has his first 8 albums bunged onto 4 cds at a knockdown price. If I hadn't bought all of these ages ago, i would have got this like a shot. TVZ plays toubadour country folk like no one else. His songs have been covered by the likes of Emmylou Harris and other really famous superstars. If you like a bit of folk/Dylan/Cohen, then you'll absolutely love Townes Van Zandt. Mr Mudd and Mr Gold is probably the greatest song ever written. Apocalyptic lyrics about a card game that mean so much. Any of his songs could be cited as a superb example of a man who scated the frayed ends of sanity and takes you to right into the blackest...
