Where is "Society's Child"
I'm pretty sure "Society's Child" is not on it. If you are considering buying this CD, then be sure to check the
discography at Janis Ian's official website. A shame this golden oldie
is missing. It is on the live CD.
A Pretty Good Overview of Ian's Music
This CD (while covering more musical ground than the Best of Janis Ian CD, which ends at 1977) has some odd, and also some wonderful, song choices. Pretty good, if flawed. The best: Silly Habits, Passion Play, Aftertones. Questionable: Let Me Be Lonely, This Night. The song choices, perhaps, are geared to markets outside the US, where Ian has had a number of hit albums and singles that didn't register on the US charts. Whatever, it's a pretty good overview of Ian's most prolific period (70's) and a glimpse of her two 80's albums (including a track from the odd, released-only-in-Australia Uncle Wonderful. ) For the real 'Best of Janis Ian,' however, consider Between the Lines (every song a stunner) and her first creation of the new millenium, the wonderful god & the fbi.
Great cd
I can't say enough about her. My older sister saw her in concert recently and bought the cd there for me (got it autographed). If it were not for Janis Ian, there would be no Alanis or Fiona. I tried getting her played on a local radio station, and they said she was too controversial. You figure. This cd is a must have for any collection.
Best Of the Best Of
Unfortunately, you can buy it less expensively on Ian's own website. This is a wonderful CD, a real overview of 10 of Ian's best years in music. Still, amazon. com offers a great deal of convenience. I highly recommend this!.
Excellent compilation!
What's up with that? It's an excellent cd, pulling together many of Ms. I had to say something in reference to "bootleg?". Ian's hits. This is much appreciated since what was readily available on LP is no longer available on CD, for various reasons. So THIS fan is happy to have this as a source.
