Special long-playing 17-song late-1990 release -- basically, a double-length album, chosen from her large discography (but not overlapping her previous anthology, Portrait). Both a wonderful introduction to those not familiar with one of the most successful artists in independent music, and a nostalgic reunion for long-time fans. Includes some of her most woman-identified material -- Sweet Woman, Sister, Joanna, Surrender Dorothy -- and many others of her best ever, such as Waterfall, Soaring, Strange Paradise.
