It's not that those songs are poorly written or badly recorded. In fact, they are so well produced that it does not surprise me that they gained as much popular attention as they did. My disappointment in them is simply heightened by their proximity to the rest of the compilation, which brings attention to the loss of innocence and sincere conviction that exemplified Grant's early work.
However, I am pleased that such a comprehensive examination of all of Grant's music is now available. Perhaps as a result, new and old fans alike will have a chance be introduced to the more serious side of Grant's songwriting, and that can only be a good thing.
