Album Description
Crowd Favorites is a collection of some of the most-requested songs from Claire Lynch's impressively rich repertoire. New recordings of favorites from her Front Porch String Band days highlight the signature groove of the Claire Lynch Band, while ten classics from her Rounder catalog form an ideal introduction to one of acoustic music's most innovative artists. Luminous and elegant, Lynch's music is a mesmerizing blend of bluegrass, country, folk, and swing, exquisitely showcasing her gifts as a vocalist, songwriter, and bandleader.

 Wow! November 24, 2008
D. Jablonski
Claire and her band really created a great CD. The standard "Wabash Cannonball" is fantastic (check it out on YouTube" and enjoy Misty Rains's bass solo! The other tracks are just as good! I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys bluegrass music!
Great Contemporary Blue Grass July 13, 2008
Bernice Smith
XM Radio played a song (Wabash Cannonball)from this CD. It was the best version of that song I have ever heard. I bought the CD from Amazon and played the entire CD, several times. I enjoy every song Clair Lynch and her band perform. I believe this CD is as good as anything Allison Kraus and Union Station have made and that's saying alot.
Title Sums it Up June 24, 2008
J. Weisgerber
The title 'Crowd Favorites' sums it up perfectly. This CD literally takes some of the most requested songs that Claire performs and puts them on one great CD. Clair's songs and music reminds me of back home in the Appalachians. I have nothing negative to say about his album.
 Sweet Bluegrass April 1, 2008
Patrick OFlaherty (Elk Grove, CA)
Claire Lynch has put together a great collection of songs and musicians to make this one of the best bluegrass albums of the past few years. Her voice has the clarity to both harmonize with her accompaniment as well as stand alone. I would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys straight-forward, thoughtful and entertaining music.
 "Best of" always a dubious proposition for fans February 8, 2008

What's not to like about a Claire Lynch CD. Nothing, unless you've heard almost all of the music before.
For hardcore Claire fans this is a mixed bag. You have all the songs except for a few. But if you love her music, you will want those few. Especially the impressive Wabash Cannonball. So let's be thanksful for Amazon MP3 downloads, where we can get just the few songs we don't already have.
In the case of Hills of Alabam, don't assume that you have this one because you have the version with the Back Porch Stringband. This is a new version with Claire's most recent band (except that Missy, on bass here, is no longer with them). Her voice is sharp and clear on the earlier recording and softer and warmer on the version here. It makes an interesting comparison.
