Greetings ~ I just saw Spirit of the West perform live for the first time at the Toronto concert last week. Just loved them. I want more. A quick check on Amazon.com produced a tidal wave of music over the years. Any suggestions on where to begin?

Many thanks,

My first SoTW CD was Save This House and it is the one I am most fond of.

If you want to get most of their best stuff all in one package then check out Spirituality, its a 2 disc collection of their 'biggest' songs from over the years. That was the first cd I got of theirs so that I could get familiar with them before the Victoria GBS show in March, and I fell in love with them too :)

The live Labour Day Cd.

Desperate times call for desperate measures
Open your mind to all life's little pleasures
The hole in this world could be healed if by chance
everyone just stood up, took their pants off and danced

We bought Spirituality when they opened for GBS in March. Love the first CD not so keen on the second but, as already mentioned, it is a good idea if you're looking to buy one of their CDs and don't know how to approach it. Recently picked up John Mann's December Looms CD, it's a good buy too.

Here's another vote for Spirituality.  I bought it from itunes and it's a great overview of their music.  Lots of happy, lots of bitter.  I've really enjoyed it.

Thanks for the tips everyone! My first impulse was to just get Spirituality but it seemed so big ... just wanted to make sure. This will be a big fat tip to the family for my birthday in a couple weeks. Right there with a new copy of UP that I gave away this summer. (I've been scolded that we lost the Chemical Workers Song in the process. Oops!)

Cheers,

Hit Parade is a good one. Has most of the songs they played at the show.Including Venice, the crawl and political done with the Vancouver Symphony Orch. And thats Amore.
