Format:Audio CD
Those who own the 2004 release "Polaroids - A Greatest Hits Collection" Polaroids - A Greatest Hits Collection will not be disappointed by this new compilation offered by Sony on their budget label, Camden.
While it shares 8 of its 16 tracks with "Polaroids" (4,6,9,10,12,13,15 & 16), the remainder are either from soundtrack albums (Never saw blue like that, When the rainbow comes) and others are from albums not previously covered (Holiday Songs & Lullabies). "Never saw blue like that", from Dawson's Creek, is achingly beautiful, replete with strings and justifies the purchase on its own.
There is nothing budget about the sound on this disc, and all the tracks are the full album versions, not single edits. The only thing missing are liner notes and discography information - but then, for the price it is a small concession.
Despite the duplication, this is well worth getting for the rarities and will happily serve as an introduction to Shawn Colvin (1989 - 2001) or another great disc for a fan. As this is a Sony release, neither 2006's "These Four Walls" nor 2009's "Live" album make an appearance, both being licenced by Warner. If you like this CD, then explore and purchase the newer releases: These Four Walls, Live
Highly recommended.

I have listened & enjoyed Shawn Colvin's music over the years. There are a couple of songs new to me on this compilation but for anyone unfamiliar with this artist I would highly recommend this CD.
Format:Audio CD
Bought the best of Shawn Colvin album partly to get the few extra tracks that are not released elsewhere and whilst it has great tracks, the Christmas tracks are disappointing and coming so soon after the LIve album this is a little lazy on the artist's/label's part. However still a great album.
