Treasure 1989-1993 features the Holly Cole Trio in an assortment of old and new performances, including several previously unreleased tracks. The Trio's slinky covers of the Disney song "Trust in Me" and "Me and My Shadow," as well as their lively versions of "Slow Boat to China" and "Cry (If You Want To)," are among the collection's highlights, along with "Alison," "Someone to Watch Over Me," and "Girl Talk." Though this collection doesn't attempt to be as complete as Blue Note's The Best of Holly Cole, Treasure 1989-1993 does offer a nice sampling of work from Cole's early years. ~ Heather Phares
