Album: All of Me
Artist:
Anne Murray
Release Date: 1/25/2005
Genre: Country
{^All of Me} is a rather peculiar entry in {$Anne Murray}'s discography. After releasing {^I'll Be Seeing You} in October of 2004, {@Straightway} essentially reissued it (not even modifying the artwork, save for the title) with a second disc of {$Anne Murray}'s greatest hits. Die-hard fans should not be fooled by this attempt to purchase the same album twice, especially if they already own most of the well-known songs courtesy of another greatest-hits compilation. This slight misnomer aside, the first disc finds {$Murray} in excellent form; a smooth collection of {\standards} complete with well-arranged orchestrations that complement her already nearly pitch-perfect voice. The second disc includes some of {$Murray}'s finest moments including {&"Snowbird,"} {&"Danny's Song"} and {&"You Needed Me."} It's a sensible purchase for those newly initiated to {$Murray}'s sound, as they get essentially a two-for-one deal spanning her entire stellar career. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
