Greatest Ever! Love Songs: The Definitive Collection
~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)
Annotation
Review by James Christopher Monger
This budget-priced, three-disc, 60-track box set is all about the amore. The no-frills Greatest Ever! Love Songs features a wide cross-section of genres and spans multiple decades, with highlights arriving via the lush, Benjamin Orr-led Cars classic "Drive," Eva Cassidy's lovely "Songbird," the Everly Brothers' "All I Have to Do Is Dream," and Harry Nilsson's cathartic "Without You."
