1.Cabaret Songs by: Malena Ernman, Bengt-Åke Lundin November 27, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $20.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.59
I was looking for a swinging version of Britten's four Cabaret Songs, and here I've found it in an unlikely corner. Swedish mezzo Malena Ernman, born in 1970, attempts a crossever album that more than a little resembles similar projects by fellow Swedish mezzo Anne Sophie Von Otter. Their voices are similar -- quite a compliment -- and Ernman has a good command of English (perhaps not the equal of Von Otter's) and both are credible in the cabaret idiom (again, Von Otter seems somewhat more at home). But however much other reviewers carp, Ernman does justice to the quasi-Kurt Weill style that Britten was after. These are tricky songs, varying from slinky jazz-age Lorelei ballads (Johnny, Calypso) to plaintive love-sickness (Tell Me the Truth About Love) with an abrupt turn into ... Read More

This is such a beautiful and well presented gospel CD. I do not speak Spanish but have enjoyed these inspiring songs so very much. When will another CD be available?

Great music done in the good ole Traditional Country style that I have always loved. This is my first Leona Williams CD but certainly not the last.

9.Sings Bob Wills by: Johnny Bush September 12, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.99
I love Bob Wills and since I have a very nice old LP with Johnny Bush ("Texas Dance Hall Girls") I had quite high expectations on this release. It starts out well with two fine tracks, both duets (Hank Thompson & Willie Nelson respectively). It's not like Johnny and Willie could ever improve on the original version of "Time Changes Everything", but then who could? (Tommy Duncan was the greatest). It seems strange to call this record "Sings Bob Wills" when only a few of the songs were ever recorded or written by the king of western swing. And the band is a bit too slick, with an over-emphazised horn-section. It's a fun album, but it could have been a lot better. It's also awful short (something like 27 minutes!). Get it if you really like Johnny, but if you just want a taste of western swing - ... Read More
