Notes/Reviews

The Best of Holly Cole finds the singer at home on several of the tracks with her longstanding working trio of pianist Aaron Davis and bassist David Piltch. The collection also captures her recording with an array of esteemed producers: Greg Cohen (1992), David Was (1993), Craig Street (1995) and Larry Klein (1997). On this collection, Cole covers Lyle Lovett's "God Will," the Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face," Everything But the Girls' "Don't Let the Teardrops Rust Your Shining Heart," and Johnny Nash's early '70s hit "I Can See Clearly Now," as well as Elvis Costello's "Alison," which makes its first US appearance having only been previously released in Japan on the album Yesterday & Today. Also included are several tunes by Tom Waits, "Jersey Girl" and "I Want You" from Temptation, her superb and idiosyncratic "tribute" album to the contemporary pop champion, as well as a live version of "Train Song" from her enhanced CD It Happened One Night.
