Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Consistency is always a given attribute and always wished for but it is a rare and beguiling thing that few really attain, the expected dip perhaps in form, the slide into the possible mediocre or the distraught finding that it was all just one album to far, a career of consistent beauty, of a dramatic and sensual voice captured each and every time, not everyone gets that luxury but then not everybody has The Best of Eddi Reader on their side.
