5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant but sometimes controversial folk-rock singer, 25 Aug 2005
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Janis Ian began her recording career with a song (Society's child) about an inter-racial relationship and followed up with an album of protest songs. Those recordings are not included on this compilation covering her later recordings, but they can be found separately.

Between 1974 and 1979, Janis recorded four classic albums (Stars, Between the lines, Aftertones, Night rains) from which most of the tracks here are taken. Those albums featured many of the great songs we remember her for including Jesse (a top ten American hit via a Roberta Flack cover), At seventeen (a top five American hit for Janis), Love is blind (a Japanese number one hit), Will you dance (another big Japanese hit), Fly too high (featured on the soundtrack of Foxes and a minor UK hit) and The other side of the sun (another minor UK hit).

Following those albums, Janis diversified into acting and writing but continued to record great music. When Canada legalized single-sex marriages, Janis seized on the opportunity to marry her lesbian partner there in 2003.

Forget all the controversy and just listen to a brilliant folk-rock singer who never achieved the same level of success as Joan Baez, Judy Collins or Joni Mitchell but who certainly deserves to be considered alongside those outstanding singers. If you enjoy their music, give Janis a listen. This compilation provides a great introduction to her music.

1.0 out of 5 stars dreadfully dark and boring composition/selection, 25 Jun 2008
I like Janis Ian and was hoping to replace my cassette album of the same name. But when I listen to this CD many of her most famous tracks are missing (I counted 7 songs missing). Instead most of the tracks are slow, dark, low energy .... uuugh. This one goes in the bin.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed bag, 25 Jul 2005
Some of the material on this CD is great. Such as the track '17' which is timeless, haunting and probably a top 1000 song. In fairness I bought the whole album on the strength of that track - which is a truly superb record but....... there are too many average tracks on the album - stuff which didn't stand up to critical acclaim at the time and still won't.

My original review was too short, flippant and people found it unhelpful. If you can afford a punt to learn that most of these tracks are unremarkable then go for it. Otherwise just download the tracks you like on iTunes.
