County Clare-born accordionist/multi-instrumentalist/bandleader is long overdue for a career retrospective and this two-CD set overflows with high points. Although an acknowledged master of Irish traditional styles, this least complacent and most generous of artists never ceases experimenting. The first disc contains instrumentals cherry-picked from six albums. "Cavan Potholes" depicts omni-present Irish road conditions and "The Mighty Sparrow", taped during the "A Woman's Heart" tour, is a jig augmented by a Caribbean beat and raucously apt sax solo. Disc two is given over to vocals, many of which are performed by stars from other genres. Jackson Browne's "A Man Of Constant Sorrow" is given a Hibernian Grand Ol' Opry treatment compete with lovely back-up singing from Mary Staunton. Damien Dempsey, a sensitive roughneck of a Dublin singer-composer, gives the Lennon/McCartney chestnut "Norwegian Wood" a new lease on life and also turns up in "Courtin' In The Kitchen", a profane little comedy led by the inimitable Dessie O'Halloran. But the late Kirstie MacColl's treatment of Astor Piazzolla's "Libertango" is magic of a more wistful, shadowy kind, making us miss her all the more. --Christina Roden

5 out of 5 stars True Irish Pub Music.......2006-11-29

I bought this CD in Galway Ireland before it was released in the states and have listened to it ever since. If you have a love of the music found in the pubs of Ireland, you will have a deep appreciation for this recording. Her mix of instruments produces a lively blend of sounds and harmony - a jazzy intertwining of themes and textures.

4 out of 5 stars A definitive introduction to one of Ireland's finest.......2006-01-01

Irish accordionist Sharon Shannon is one of the great modernizers in contemporary Celtic music... This 2-CD set greatly expands on her previous best-of collections, adding a second disc's worth of collaborations with pop, folk and country stars, including Jackson Browne, Steve Earle, Donal Lunny, Sinead O'Connor, John Prine and the late Kirsty MacColl. Shannon zips between traditional-sounding folk and boundary-pushing Celtic-fusion... She may make more conservative folk fans grumpy, but listeners looking for innovation have rallied around her for years. Regardless of where you stand on her aesthetic choices, it's hard to fault her technical expertise -- Shannon is one of the most dazzling players in Celtic music today. This is hte perfect introduction to her work.
