The Best of Eddi Reader is the first career spanning compilation by the supremely
talented, unique and charismatic Scottish singer. A new double album that collects thirty
of her most consistently beautiful, often deeply personal and intimate songs.
“Just perfect – Eddi Reader gets every song just right”
The Sunday Times
“Eddi Reader is one of my favourite singers of all time”
Jools Holland
“One of the great voices in British music”
Acoustic magazine
Featuring material from across Eddi’s prestigious 30 year recording career,The Best of
includes the charming acoustic pop of 1988 chart topper Perfect (with Fairground
Attraction), right up to her remarkable 2015 versions of the standard Moon River and
Amy Winehouse’s Love Is A Losing Game.
Everlasting favourites are in abundance including her 1992 recording of the Fred Neil
song Dolphins and 2003’s Wild Mountainside (the poetic ballad written and given to
Eddi by partner and songwriter John Douglas, included on the classic Songs of Robert
Burns album).
The Best of Eddi Reader gives us a generous insight into her wide ranging artistry and
songwriting, time and again showcasing her knack for picking a great song and then
making it her own. As Eddi sang on the track Roses ‘Open up your heart to the passing of
time, don’t regret a thing you leave behind’. About the new album Eddi says…
“Every time I record I rarely listen again, so when I do hear something I've done I get
surprised and my mind hasn't time to pick it apart- when I listened through to this
collection I found myself reconnecting with every chord, melodic shift, percussion push and
vocal thread. It reminded me of myself like little Polaroids. I can't believe how beautiful it
is- I am very proud of this music.”
