October of 2008 already saw a
Best of Annie Lennox
hit the streets in Europe, and in early 2009 those of us Stateside get the
Annie Lennox Collection
, which boasts enough hit singles to keep the punters happy, as well as a few keen B-sides to make the late-coming collectors to
Lennox
's work pick this up as well. While ubiquitous hits such as
"Walking on Broken Glass"
and
"Sing"
are included here, it's great that the set's compilers thought to add non-full-length selections such as
"Love Song for a Vampire"
to this mix. Her stellar covers such as the reading of
Procol Harum
's
"A Whiter Shade of Pale"
and the
Freeman-Hughes
standard
"No More "I Love You's"
are in the mix as well, making this a very well-rounded collection. ~ Thom Jurek
