Hit: 5 Stars
Tha CD is great and I do not know why Marc Cohn is only known for "Walking in Memphis" as he has some very wonderful lyrics and harmony on many of his other songs. I think he is great.Free Music Review: Marc Cohn CD

Forever tied to his one masterful hit, Marc Cohn is so much more than "Walking In Memphis." This long deserved best of collects the Grammy winning some of the best of this singer-songwriter's three Atlantic albums Marc Cohn, The Rainy Season and Burning the Daze plus a pair of new tracks. Cohn's style harkens back to the seventies school of sensitive writers; it's no coincidence that James Taylor pops up on "Perfect Love."
Cohn's music also took on a richly darkened hue as his albums progressed. The themes of loneliness and loss explored on "The Rainy Season" and "Burning The Daze" spoke of an artist maturing through his songs, even while his audience was diminishing. "Things We've Handed Down" is an amazing song about the expectations we place on our newborn children. As others have commented, the lovely "One Safe Place" (one of the new songs here) was featured on an episode of "House MD," to capture the meaning of a life passing.
It is, sadly, Marc's brush with death that has brought him back into the public eye. He was shot in the face during a car-jacking incident, landing him both in the headlines and on ABC's 20/20. (Caveat: Cohn is married to ABC correspondent Elizabeth Vargas.) It makes some of these stories of family life and love ("Rest for The Weary," "True Companion" and "Silver Thunderbird") all the more poignant, and his new "Join The Parade" a late season stunner.
If your library includes James Taylor, Van Morrison, Jackson Browne or Bonnie Raitt (who guests here on "Walk Through The World"), "The Very Best of Marc Cohn" will thrill you. His 2007 release, Join the Parade, stands up with his best work, as well.

Never having heard of Marc Cohn before, I found him a pleasant surprise. He has a folk and blues combination to his songs that is both mellow and requires the listener's attention.
