(1993) I'm not sure what metric has declared these songs Murray Head's greatest. Maybe it's radio charts or single sales in France, the country that's seemingly home to the largest number of Murray Head fans. But are these a true representation of the best work to come from Murray? Nah. Still, it's a great way to get your hands on a whole bunch of material that isn't present on his primary solo releases.
Even some songs that are duplicated on other albums are either newer or different versions here; an example being Murray's somewhat legendary 'Say It Ain't So,' the version on this album being a 1993 remake. This album also offers several songs that are from movie soundtracks that featured Murray's work, and you can't get them anywhere else.
I love the blues of 'Comme Des Enfants Qui Jouent.' It goes great with a beer; it mellows me out. Just think of Clapton's guitar on Phil Collins' on 'I Wish It Would Rain Down.' This disc also contains the slower (and better) version of 'Los Angeles.'
Perhaps, though, this should be titled, "Murray Head's Miscellaneous Hits." Next ->
