Title: Incomplete but a Nice Intro to Jeffreys
Review: Garland Jeffreys is one of those unfortunate talents who never saw many of vinyl records make it to CD. This compilation album provides a decent but incomplete introduction to a great singer-songwriter. With vocals that sometimes sound like Jagger, sometimes like Elvis Costello, this guy is a super songsmith with a distinct sound. If you still have a turntable and can find his other LPs - Ghostwriter and Garland Jeffreys being the best - buy them. His combination of urban grit, hopeful romanticism, and catchy lyrics should not be missed.
