The Best of Matt McGinn is a CD collection of 25 songs from Matt's Transatlantic years.
This is a great, GREAT CD, a marvelous selection of songs made even more special as
they were hand picked by his family. More from Shonagh: "With The Best of Matt
McGinn my cousin Alex got us (me, Anna, Eleanor, Matt and my Mum) all organized and
we all gave him our top 25 or 26 songs from all the ones that were on the Castle Music
LPs. He then saw what we had all voted for and came up with the final list of what tracks
were to be included. Interestingly, there was quite a variety in what we all voted for, so
there were a lot of songs that we like but which weren't included. In the end we
only included ones that my Dad had written. On the sleeve notes it says that all songs
were written by my Dad except 2, which is a mistake because they were all his."
This CD, as with
The Return of Two Heided
Man, has fabulous Janette McMinn notes—and much more extensive. I decided
not to reproduce them here so you'll have something to read as you listen and enjoy—
after you purchase this CD.
