A dash of Potash finds Shawn Colvin's Holiday Songs And Lullabies soothing fare. Jill Hill finds Chef Aid: The South Park Album to be downright dirty fun, Bruce Springsteen's Tracks leaves its mark long after the last song has faded, and The Very Best Of Sting & The Police, sadly, doesn't even come close.
