Sarah McLachlan - Rarities, B-Sides & Other Stuff (Nettwerk)

While McLachlan's fans await a follow up to her 1993 breakthrough Fumbling Through Ecstasy, she releases a second stopgap to keep them happy. This limited-edition disk is mostly in existence, I suppose, for "I Will Remember You," McLachlan's hit theme from The Brothers McMullen.

That beautiful ballad is on here as well as other rarities like tracks McLachlan recorded for tribute albums for X.T.C. ("Dear God") and Joni Mitchell ("Blue.") But the best moments on this odds & sods collection are a moving forgotten original "Full of Grace" and a terrific live version of the early single "Drawn To The Rhythm."

There are a few unnecessary dance remixes of old singles, but otherwise this is a really strong collection. (1/97)
