Free Music Notes for The Essential Shawn Mullins
Free Music Review: Great collection
Hit: 5 Stars
It's great to have all the songs together. I really liked "Border Song". I think Shawn sounds much better than Elton. It's too bad they decided to do a duet with it.Free Music Review: Great Mullins - NOT the essential however
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a solid collection from a tremendous artist worth the purchase simply for the collaboration with Elton John on Border Song. The remastered sound is exceptional - especially on Border Song and Anchored In You from his classic CD - Souls Core. The obvious omission is "Twin Rocks Oregon" from Souls Core and the absence of any of his Eggshells CD songs including Joshua and the well-done acoustic version of Shimmer. (Shimmer has been recorded at least three times) -the version included in this package is the "alternative" version - quite frankly not his best - not even as good as the powerful Souls Core take. That stated, the essential Shawn Mullins encompasses his early recordings all the way through Beneath the Velvet Sun - listen to "I Know". The true highlights are the new releases including the masterful piece with Elton John and the Atlanta Symphony followed by the acoustic Lullaby. True Shawn Mullins fans MUST own those two recordings.Free Music Review: Everything's gonna be alright...rock-a-bye
Hit: 5 Stars
If you want a single album of Shawn Mullins greatest compositions, look no further. Even if you already have "The First Ten Years", this album is still highly recommended. Most of this collection focuses on his two most recent albums "Soul's Core" and "Beneath The Velvet Sun". Not surprisingly, his most popular hit "Lullaby" starts off the disc; an acoustic version thereof recorded two years later closes it. "Lonesome, I Know You Too Well" was recorded live in Switzerland in 1999. "Border Song" (one of two tracks previously unissued in the U.S.) recorded in 2000 is a great duet with the song's original composer Elton John with The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Finally, three tracks from "The First Ten Years" are included. No matter how many Shawn Mullins albums you have this album is not to be missed. So far, it's the only collection of it's kind.
If you're just getting familiar with him you found an excellent place to start.
