I can't think of many anthologies that can present an artist to new fans as thoroughly and joyfully as this one. I just have one complaint, and it's not a minor one. Where the heck is "Across the Borderline"?. Not only is it his most covered song, not many songs can capture a mindset that of hundreds of thousands of immigrants from the south like that. I'm not making a political statement here - this ... Read More Rating: - nancy leewonderful, uplifting your soul music. beautiful recording resinates your music system. a joy to behold. |
