Customer Reviews
Glorious!
Eleven of the sixteen tracks easily get 5 stars! Stand outs: Peter Gabriel's Summertime (can you say goosebumps?), They Can't Take That Away From Me, Someone To Watch Over Me / Our Love Is Here To Stay, I've Got A Crush On You, It Ain't Necessarily So (Cher at her absolute best. This is the kind of material she SHOULD have been singing all along), The Man I Love, How Long Has This Been Going On, Embraceable You, Somebody Loves Me, I'll Build A Stairway To Paradise, and Rhapsody In Blue (an album only track but one that makes it worthwhile as it will leave you, literally and figuratively, breathless!) The worm in the apple is Sinead O'Connor's My Man's Gone Now, but that's alright, you can just eat around that one! Nov. 6, 2007
Timeless!
When modern day artists embrace the work of an artist of a different era it shows what purity of style, form, and genuine creativity mean to an artform. Gershwin's music is one of the great treasures of true American music. These artists demonstrate their ability to step out of the marketing, social, and media hype that surrounds them and simply perform great music in their own unique style. It's not over-mixed, or over-produced; it's just right. This is a thoroughly enjoyable album. Imagine....Meatloaf singing Gershwin! Who'd-a thought it!!! It works!
