ANNE MURRAY SINGS COUNTRY.......2007-01-10

MY WIFE AND I BOTH LIKE ANNE MURRAY. SHE IS A GOOD SINGER AND EASY AND PLEASANT TO LISTEN TO. WE RECENTLY WENT TO ONE OF HER SHOWS IN RENO. IY WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE.

AS PART OF THIS SHOW, SHE SANG SOME COUNTRY SONGS FROM HER COUNTRY ALBUM. MY WIFE, A COUNTRY FAN, WAS THRILLED !

WHEN WE RETURNED HOME, WE FOUND ANNE'S COUNTRY ALBUM ONLINE AND ORDERED IT. WE ARE BOTH ENJOY LISTENING TO THE CD.

The Queen of Country-Pop can regain her throne !.......2006-06-25

Country-Pop fans are in for a treat with this 2 disc set which begins with the great "Help Me Make it Through the Night", interpreted by Anne with raw emotion and a great arrangement. Make no mistake, this is Country Pop at its best. "Cryin the Blues" and "You were Always on my Mind" are standouts, but the real show stopper , amazingly , is "I Fall to Pieces". Anne makes it her own and it is just wonderful, full of longing and heartache but done in a surprisingly (and effective) uptempo manner. The song doesn't compete with the original;it is remade by Anne in a totally different fashion and in my opinion is as great as Patsy's version. "Can't Help Falling in Love" is stunning, and the duet with Vince Gill "Let it Be Me" is the very best version of that song I have ever heard. There are so many standouts that it is hard to mention them all. "For The Good Times" is treated with tender emotion, and will bring you close to tears. "That's The Way Love Goes" is pure country done in Anne style-it could have been a huge hit for her. "Loving Arms" is another breathtaking gem. Her voice is as smooth as silk on the cut. "Me and Bobby McGee" is done in an original fashion and has a sweet , melodic ending. In essence, Anne proves why she is the most succesful female crossover artist of all time. The snobs in Nashville need to take notes.

this CD is everything i expected! i am pleased with my purchase.

Great Listenin'.......2005-09-02

This is a fun cd to listen to. It has lots of old "classic" songs all done in Anne Murray's style.

She's Done It Again.......2005-03-12

What a voice! Anne Murray is one of the few unique vocalists out there. Few people can record versions of hit songs that actually sound better than the original, but Anne can do so. Cheers to a vocalist who has respected her instrument over the years and hasn't ruined it by abusing it with drinks or smokes. So glad she is covering terrific classic material these days, songs deserving of her voice.

Anne's wonderful tribute to the 50's........2007-02-22

This cd of 50's standards sung by the Legendary Anne Murray is a fantastic set of music... many have done some of the songs on this cd and basically some haven't brought anything new to them, instead of trying to do copy versions of them, the arrangements here are different and some of the songs are given a nice country tempo, and Anne's beautiful voice just shines on this cd!

Old standarts done beautifully.......2006-08-25

Anne Murray has chosen a group of well known standarts from the American Music Box and deliverd them with a wonderful rendition. Strognly recommended whether you are Ms. Murray's fan or not as long as you enjoy music that made America listen in the 40's and 50's.

Anne remembers the fifties but not rock'n'roll.......2005-05-31

When Anne realized that her hit-making days were over, she decided to record an album of covers. Originally, Anne had no particular theme in mind but she found that a lot of her favorite songs dated from the fifties so she decided to focus exclusively on that decade, although you will notice that she has (at least on this album) largely ignored the rock'n'roll revolution, though she has included Born to be with you (Chordettes).

Thus, the album features covers of classic songs by such great singers as Patti Page (Old Cape Cod, Allegheny moon), Gogi Grant (Wayward wind), Peggy Lee (Fever), Doris Day (Secret love), Jo Stafford (You belong to me, Make love to me), Julie London (Cry me a river), Rosemary Clooney (Hey there), De Castro sisters (Teach me tonight), Eddy Arnold (I really don't want to know (Eddy Arnold) and Perry Como (Wanted). Also here is When I fall in love, which was originally an American hit for Doris Day but which has since become a bigger hit for other artists in different countries.

True love (originally by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly) features Anne singing with the album's producer. Apparently, Anne originally asked Elton John if he'd like to sing with her but he said he didn't have time. Within a few months, he'd recorded the song with Kiki Dee and they had an international hit with it.

Anne's performances on all these songs are brilliant. If you buy the album because you enjoy Anne's music, you may discover a whole new world of fifties songs that you didn't know about. And if you buy it because of the songs, you'll discover what a fantastic singer Anne is.

Good renditions of some old familiar songs.......2005-02-24

Of course, as a 50s music fan, I am familiar with, and in almost all cases very fond of, all the songs in this collection. And while in most cases I prefer the original versions of the songs, I have to say that I like Anne Murray's renditions as well.

One thing I like about the presentation is that there is a listing of the original hit versions of all the songs here. (Though in two cases I would quibble about which were the original hit versions; I would cite Doris Day rather than Jeri Southern for "When I Fall in Love," and Les Paul & Mary Ford, rather than Eddy Arnold, for "I Really Don't Want to Know.")

I think that, although Anne Murray is generally associated with country singing, she, like Crystal Gayle, can do a good job with traditional popular songs. It helps that (as she says in a quote in the liner notes) she grew up listening to great singers like Patti Page and Jo Stafford do these songs; she clearly knows what they are supposed to sound like, and has a great respect for the songs.

A lot of other reviewers gave this CD 5 stars; I don't go that far, because the performances don't match the originals. But they are pleasant to listen to, and four stars still means it's worth listening to!

Do you like GOOD music?.......2003-09-07

This is a group of songs that were some of Anne Murray's favorites when she was growing up in the fifties, and for my money, each is a new and improved version. As a professional musician, I am just SO impressed by the wonderful arrangements, terrific instrumental performances, and, of course, the beautiful and classy voice of Anne Murray that make this a CD you will listen to over and over. And there are so many songs on it that you won't get tired of hearing them. Most are ballads. I dare you to try to be stressed out after listening to this CD for even a short time. My cassette player ate the Croonin' tape and I was in absolute withdrawal until I purchased the CD. Enjoy.
