Double CD Mary Black Jan 11, 2009 I've been in love with this lady's voice and delivery since I first heard her version of "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" some years back. I'm currently on a kick of listening to only my Mary Black collection.
This particular CD is a steal as a double CD. One CD of her classic hits, some performed live, some with other performers and a new CD. This CD has the aforementioned "Who Knows Where The Time Goes"
A great introduction to Mary Black!
"Best Of" isn't the best, but... Jan 10, 2007 As a long-time fan of Mary Black I was looking forward to this volume. However, the "Best of" disk was somewhat of a dissapointment. The second disk in the package, "Hidden Harvest," is worth the price of admission and then some. The duets are a treat, the selections wonderful, and if you're a fan, you won't want to miss it.

Better to have left it alone May 09, 2005 As a "Best Of" album this is, overall, a worthy effort.
So why only three stars, you ask?
I answer: "Song for Ireland"
My first experience with Mary Black was "Song for Ireland" on the Putyamo "Women of the World Celtic" album and I was hooked -it remains one of my favorite songs of all time.
And it was HORRIFICALLY OVERDONE on this album. I tried, I really tried, but couldn't even force myself the entire way through it.
A word of advice: If you ever wake up and find yourself a famous and widely-loved recording artist, try to bear in mind that your most-loved songs are most-loved because of the way you've recorded them.....and don't change them for a "Best Of" album - it's just counter-intuitive.

The best of Mary Black? Jun 29, 2004 I have all of Mary Blacks music available on compact disc. This album was my latest choice and it was indeed not the best of Mary Black in my opinion. Her rendition of "Who knows where the time goes" lacked the hauntingness of the original Judy Collins version.I didn't care much for her choice of songs for a "best of" album.I have put it back on my bookshelf. This album has none of the beauty of "Circus". I regret buying it and will be more cautious in the future.
