This double-disc best-of album offers a retrospective look at his career while re-presenting his trajectory as a "poet/artist."
This work is both an introductory guide and a definitive work for re-evaluating the artist's unique world of expression, where rock, poetry, and art intersect.
The album features a wide selection of tracks, ranging from her debut album "Horses" to her works from the 2000s. It includes not only her signature songs like "Gloria" and "Because the Night," but also a well-balanced selection of spoken word-style and introspective numbers. Rather than being just a collection of hits, it carefully highlights the two extremes at the core of her artistry: the poetic sensibility and the raw rock energy.
