Album Description

Nice as a gift CD

This CD is a nice sampling of music from various genres and vocalists, all of it strong in its representation. It makes a nice gift for McLachlan fans who may have her other mainstream CD's. July 18, 2008

Sarah's yet another rarities CD

Having been a true fan of the Canadian chanteuse, I wholeheartedly embraced this compilation.The duets being the best tracks , I sat as Ordinary Miracle blew me away with its idealistic hope and When She Loved Me gave me goose bumps and tears.The participation of Lady Smith Black Mambazo gives the record a world music twist easily digested.Overall, a fantastic journey.

Beautiful music

This is an outstanding CD! I have most of Sarah McLachlan's CDs and this one did not disappoint me. Her version of Blackbird and the collaboration with Cyndi Lauper on Time After Time are both outstanding. Also, the CD is mixed and recorded very well which is a rarity these days. July 14, 2008

Great covers

I like very much Sarah McLachlan. My girlfriend likes her too, but not that much. But yesterday we listened together to the whole album, and she was amazed by these new McLachlan tracks. They are fresh and new and different from everything we had listened before. There are great covers such as "Time after Time" (great and perfect duet with Cyndi Lauper), "Blackbird" and "Unchained Melody", to mention some. Sarah McLachlan demonstrates she is beyond melancholic ballads. She can rap and rave with her spiritual voice! Great album. July 11, 2008

Unique and wonderful

Whether you are a fan of Sarah McLachlan or not, this is still an amazing album. It is filled with fantastic covers and duets such as Cyndi Lauper's "Time after Time," "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers, and "Blackbird" by the Beatles to name a few. Eventhough she covers or duets most of the songs on this album (including her own "Angel" duet with Emmylou Harris); they all sound fresh and new with Sarah's mystical voice. Additionally, Sarah McLachlan's original tracks such as River and Ordinary Miracle are must-haves. June 24, 2008
