Eddi Reader - Candyfloss And Medicine
Review by Richard Pedersen
Candyfloss And Medicine is a mesmerizing album by Eddi Reader that showcases her exceptional vocal skills and songwriting talent. The album features a blend of folk, pop, and country music, which creates a unique and captivating sound. From the opening track, "What You Do With What You've Got," to the closing song, "The Exception," Eddi Reader's voice is consistently impressive, delivering each song with passion and emotion.
The album's title track, "Candyfloss And Medicine," is a standout song that combines a catchy melody with poignant lyrics. Another highlight is "Dear John," a beautiful ballad that showcases Eddi Reader's ability to convey raw emotions through her voice. The album also features collaborations with other talented musicians, including Boo Hewerdine and Mark E. Nevin, who contribute to the overall sound of the album.

Notes
- Comes housed in a Digipack with a 8-page booklet
- When time eventually came for the USA release of this title, Eddi Reader took the opportunity to revise the track listing to create a more focused album. The camp film theme-song ‘Town without pity’ was dropped from the selection and three other tracks, which had been issued as b-sides in UK, were added: ‘Sugar on the pill’, ‘Shall I be mother’ and ‘If you got a minute, baby’; (the last a cover of an old Freddy and the Dreamers’ number).
- Made in Japan.
- Japan edition with 2 bonus tracks
- These two bonus tracks are from the "Town Without Pity" Cd single and not exclusive to this release
- Standard jewel case with transparent disc tray
- Hype sticker on front: "INCLUDES THE SINGLES / TOWN / WITHOUT PITY / AND / MEDICINE / 0630-15120-2"
- 12-page booklet: credits, artwork
