Retrospective 1995-2005 [Limited Edition]

Product Description
Following a phenomenal early run in the '80s and '90s with alt-rock sensations 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant went on to even greater success as a solo artist. Her 1995 solo debut Tigerlily delivered the Billboard Top 10 Smash "Carnival," as well as "Wonder" and "Jealousy," #20 and #23, respectively. Through subsequent albums, Merchant's emotive vocals and literate songs have established her as one of the most distinctive and popular women in contemporary pop-rock. Compiled by Natalie herself, Rhino's new collection represents her first-ever solo "best of", beautifully highlighting her socially conscious and melodious signature style. Also available, a deluxe limited-edition 2-disc collection that contains the "best of" on Disc 1, while Disc 2 is packed with enough rarities and live tracks to quell the appetite of any fan.

Greatest Hits.......2007-01-03

You don't need to own any other Natalie Merchant compilation or album/CD. All of her best stuff is right here!

Wonderful.......2006-12-30

Somewhere along the way I lost my copy of MTV Unplugged, the live 10,000 Maniac CD. After finally replacing it, I wondered why it took me so long. The music was wonderfully melodic, with a gypsy music quality. This CD was my subsequent purchase of Natalie Merchant's solo work. At first I found the differences between her solo work and 10,000 Maniac not to my liking. I have listened to this several times now and have found some hauntingly beautiful songs. This is dreamy music, a pleasure to enjoy alone or with your loved ones.

scorching guitar.......2006-04-07

so many reviews

let me just say that the guitar work on Carnaval scorches

Natalie rules with her celestial beauty

Tigerlily album is a better intro.......2005-12-30

Let me just say first that I'm not fanatical about Natalie Merchant. I heard Tigerlily a few times at my friend's house and really liked the mellow sounds. I thought I'd treat myself and bought this greatest hits album. As an album, the tracks don't flow so well from one to the next, but this is a compilation I guess, and not a single 'work of art'. The non-Tigerlily tracks I like best are #9 and #13.

Great Introduction To Natalie Merchant.......2005-11-24

This CD is a very good introduction to the solo works of Natalie Merchant. I am a bit more of a fan of 10,000 Maniacs and her earlier solo work, and while no CD retrospective meets everyone's desires, I think this set is good for the fan who is just starting to appreciate Natalie; fans who own all of her solo CDs would be advised to skip this CD entirely (as they already own all the material), or better yet pay a few dollars more for the limited edition of this set which contains a second CD of rarities and lesser known gems.

The CD is great in that it features the big hits (including my favorite, "Jealousy") as well as cuts which were largely ignored by the mainstream (though they shouldn't have been.)

In an age of popular music where the recording industry can't wait to get the newest augmented pop princess on the cover of "People" magazine, Natalie Merchant stands out: she is not flashy; rather she is graceful and humble. She also has one thing going for her which is so often sadly missing in the contemporary music world: genuine talent. If you are not familiar with Natalie Merchant, this is a great place to start. If you are familiar with her, then you probably own her CDs already.

I recommend this CD to any fan of thoughtful, original music.

It gets better with each listen!.......2006-03-15

I read about Deisel Doug and the The Long Haul Truckers in Entertainment Weekly. Stephen King was giving them their props in an article about a band that should and could have made it big. He was right. They are great! The lyrics are funny, thoughtful and just plain fun. Get this honky tonkin CD, you will not be sorry.
