Everything But The Girl

Tunesmith: The Songs Of Jimmy Webb is a 2CD 2003 compilation from Australia honoring the music and songwriting of Jimmy Webb. Raven Records made this.

'Saved By The Girl' is a trip back through the 90s, the defining decade when female musicianship took centre-stage, from the guitar infused alt-pop/rock of The Cardigans, Garbage and The Cranberries – to the fiercely independent singer-songwriter style of Sarah McLachlan and Joan Osborne. They sit alongside some the decade's biggest selling artists that paved a way for a strong and enduring female identity for those who grew up in 90s, including Natalie Imbruglia, Tina Arena, TLC, All Saints, Sixpence None The Richer, Moloko, Sinead O'Connor, The Fugees, Everything But The Girl – plus many more. The 37 track album features 21 UK Top 5 hits across 2CDs, including 6 No 1s – all spanning from 1990 to 1999.

O This new, low-price, 2 CD and download compilation is part of EMI's global 'Electrospective' campaign launching this June, which comprehensively chronicles the development of Electronic music in terms of music, technology and culture from it's earliest roots in the late 1950s to the present day.

Amazon Review by For Tomorrow
Another great compilation from Rhino, this two-disc set contains some of the best acoustic music from some of the biggest artists out there, plenty of my favourites are represented with a track, but there were also a handful that were still new to me. That's the joy of compilations for me, you are able to discover a lot of talent through buying them.
It's a nice mix of old and new, with alternative versions used when needed, for example the acoustic versions of Bruno Mars' 'Grenade', James Blunt's '1973', 'Smile' by Lily Allen, the iTunes session of Lykke Li's 'I Follow Rivers', and a great live & acoustic performance from Scotland's finest young crooner Paolo Nutini on 'Last Request'.
This is a very appealing playlist of acoustic music. The only downside was that when I went to burn the CDs onto my laptop, the song titles and artist names couldn't be found, so I had to write them in myself. Well, copy and paste from this Amazon page, but still tedious and time consuming all the same.
