I have been a fan since the early 90's. I had never seen them live although, up until this past December on their new reunited Vampires Rise 2010 tour. Johnette Napolitano as well as the band sounded better than ever and blew me away. They played most of the songs from this collection album as well as many others. Her voice live and in person sounded just as good as it does listening to the bands various CD music collection as well as everything solo she has ever put out. She does all this while playing base. Go figure. It's as if she gets better and sexier with age. She and original guitarist Jim Mankey still have it. Their new, longest running drummer was awesome as well. She is by far the best female rock vocalist of all time. I bought this CD because it is no longer produced in CD form making it a collectable of sorts, so if you can get one or already have it, have another listen, recollect, and then go catch them live while they are still touring if you get the chance. Johnette is still and will always be an amazing talent. Her voice and the bands music is timeless even in 2011.Read full review
A good selection of C/B tracks , when you listen to it , they really have some good material . Initially I'd only heard a couple of their tracks , but it is all really good stuff . I would highly recommend this album to anyone .

although I preferred Concrete Blonde before they had huge success with Joey, I still love them today. This Best Of Compilation includes a lot of their hits and a few of their misses (Cold Part Of Town) There are plenty of more songs that Johnette wrote that aren't on this cd that should be. Fans will "like" it Others that are only familiar with "Joey" and "Caroline" may enjoy it also. Pretty Good Overall.
The music of Concrete Blonde is timeless and the lyrics tell a tale in a far different way than most bands. You'll end up wanting to get their one and only DVD which is superb too.
