For the American fan, this is a great chance to hear the hidden jewel 'Rosemary'. Rosemary was recently voted as a top pick by her fans. Rosemary is perhaps the best combination of her lyric writing talent, music writing and performance, and vocal work. This would be money well spent. Intriguing Suzanne Vega. Hauntingly beautiful music.

Reception[edit]

John Murphy from MusicOMH considers this album to have 'much more representative track listing' than Tried & True and have a positive view on it: 'With material this good it’s hard to level any criticisms at Retrospective.' The only problems he sees are 'pretentious sleeve notes (...) and the lack of a chronological order', but for him these are just 'minor quibbles'.[2]
Gregory McIntosh from AllMusic thinks that 'the overall collection feels a little bit more hearty with a total of 21 tracks instead of 17' compared to Tried & True and gave it a 4,5/5 stars.[1]

Suzanne Nadine Vega (born July 11, 1959) is an American songwriter and singer known for her eclectic folk-inspired music. Two of Vega's songs (both from her second album Solitude Standing, 1987) reached the top 10 of various international chart listings: 'Luka' and 'Tom's Diner'. The latter was originally an a cappella version on Vega's album, which was then remade in 1990 as a dance track produced by the British dance production team DNA. Tracklist: ----------------- CD1 01.
