Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "On a par with Dion, Darin or Roy Orbison, real recognition is long overdue, but this ambitious, meticulous collection makes a convincing argument.", 4 stars out of 5 - "Shannon was the best kind of rocker: a singer-songwriter with a great formula and a searching spirit. He never sounds less than a star.", 5 stars out of 5 - "The two discs of demos and home recordings are fascinating: evidently he turned to country in the way that Elvis turned to gospel once he was out of the spotlight."
