 The Very Best of Ed Ames September 4, 2008
The songs are golden oldies but it is relaxing, uplifting music. I recommend this CD to sing and drive.
 very good--but geared toward the casual fan May 14, 2008

The Very Best of Ed Ames is a CD that gives us quite a few of Ed Ames' best hits. It still runs a tad short; so they could have--and should have--included at least two more songs to make this a more substantial release. I will take off one star for that because this irks me; however, the sound quality is very good and the artwork is very nicely done.
"My Cup Runneth Over" starts the CD with Ed Ames singing brightly; his voice is in excellent form and his voice has operatic qualities as well. Impressive! The melody is very pretty and "My Cup Runneth Over" makes a good start for this album. In addition, Ed Ames does a great job on "Try To Remember" from The Fantasticks. "Try To Remember" shins bright when Ed Ames sings it to perfection--and beyond! "Try To Remember" is easily a major highlight of this album; and I predict that you'll like it very much.
"All My Love's Laughter" features Ed squarely in the spotlight--and that's quite all right by me! The strings enhance the musical arrangement and Ed never sings a superfluous note! Ed Ames truly delves into this ballad to be able to infuse it with so much more feeling than the average recording artist ever could; and this amazes me. Great! "They Call The Wind Maria" has a bouncy melody to it that's actually rather catchy and this somewhat country flavored ballad is certainly another highlight of this CD.
"Who Will Answer" has Ed singing much higher in his broad vocal range; this moving ballad is quite memorable even though it's not exactly the most upbeat song I've ever heard. "Son Of A Travelin' Man" has a great beat and Ed Ames sings this like the crooner he always was! Ed Ames proves his talent with numbers like this and I really like "Son Of A Travelin' Man." In addition, listen for "There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over The World)." "There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over The World)" gets the royal treatment from Ed Ames who puts his own stamp on this ballad by playing with the tempo and making a few key changes--but make no mistake about it, this is still a very solid number.
"Changing, Changing" is a rich ballad with quite a stunning arrangement and when Ed sings this it takes off like a jet! The percussion on "Changing, Changing" work well, too. "Leave Them A Flower" also sounds very strong when Ed Ames sings it; and the CD ends very nicely with Ed Ames performing "When The Snow Is On The Roses." "When The Snow Is On The Roses" has a pretty melody and Ed Ames gives this all his efforts to make this ballad shine. It leaves you wanting more!
Ed Ames certainly sang with the best of them; and I recommend this album for his fans if they don't already have these numbers. The more diehard fan will want CDs more substantial than this one; this CD may best be geared toward the casual fan who wants a solid entry-level assortment of great songs by Ed Ames.
Great gift May 2, 2008
I bought this as a gift for my mom about a year ago and she loves it!
Found it August 18, 2007
I finally found this Ed Ames CD. Had searched and could only find the Ames Brothers in other locations. Very satisfied.
One of the best singers ever! August 7, 2007
I've always love the vocals of Ed Ames-so strong and vibrant! Just a few days ago,he was part of a PBS special and his voice was as strong as ever!
This cd captures the best songs of his career,including two of my personal favorites,"My Cup Runneth Over"and"Who Will Answer?" His vocals on the latter of the two will send chills up your pine. I would wholeheartly recommend this cd for anyone who loves ballads or fine vocals-Ed Ames is one of the best!!
