Retrospective The Best Of Suzanne Vega Rarest Books
It's the rare singer-songwriter whose emotional confessions rise above bathos to find true resonance with their listeners; rarer still the one who can connect their audience with the plight of everyday strangers. Ega not only managed that feat on her unlikely, child-abuse themed breakthrough hit 'Luka' in `88, but opened the door for a renaissance of intelligent, female folk-oriented music in the decade that followed. This 21-track anthology spans Vega's career before and since, a chronicle of cool, sharp-eyed detachment infused by a restless, oft-underrated sense of musical invention that spans club-mixes (the 'Tom's Diner' here was originally a 'pirate' deejay mix by DNA that Vega wisely adopted), Latin jazz ('Caramel'), electro-percussive rhythm explorations ('Blood Makes Noise,' '99.9F,' and 'Woman on the Tier' from the Dead Man Walking soundtrack) neo-classicism ('Small Blue Thing') and a sharp-edged pop sense ('I'll Never Be Your Maggie May,' 'Book of Dreams') that can't be denied. That it's all still clearly rooted in a diverse pantheon that includes Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Woody Guthrie is all the more remarkable. Rarities include 'Left of Center' from the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, a live 'Queen and the Soldier' and previously import-only 'Rosemary.' Also features all lyrics and the insightful recollections of Vega colleague/Patti Smith guitarist Lenny Kaye.Jerry McCulley.
