She's no stranger to the towering highs and lows of the heart, and Etta James's soaring, gospel-tinged pipes match up well with the rigors of unabashed bliss. Happily, the good people at Chess Records recognize this, and they have thoughtfully collected some of the best examples into one tidy record. Kicking off with her classic treatment of "At Last," the collection moves through the lilting strings of "My Dearest Darling" on into the expressive tones of "I Want to Be Loved (But Only by You)" with grace and emotional candor. James can be simultaneously tender and deeply honest and her ability to express the desperate joy that is the soul of love remains one of life's marvelous pleasures. --Matthew Cooke

New Edge to "Old" Love Songs.......2007-07-07

For years I have said that even though Etta James did not have many "Top Ten" hits on the charts, she is the best interpreter of other singers' songs, the best who ever lived and sang on a New Orleans or a Chicago stage or bar stool. She takes every song she sings and makes it all new and all Etta. She is the single most important reason I became a fan of the blues _ _ _ years ago. You get the picture? I am an old lady and am an old fan.

She's been through many years of problems and heartache, but then, here she still is, with a voice that is even better (if that's possible!) than when she was a sweet young thing performing with Louie Armstrong, Ray Charles, BB King and all the great band leaders and blues singers. She even has a new thin physique!

A couple of the tunes are ones she had in her regular repertoire forty-five years ago and others are contemporary hits from other artists. Each one is "pure Etta." I seem to play this one over and over and over. I can't get enough. I even have it on my computer so I can listen to it when I am doing other work!

This CD is a great example of what the blue are and the influence it can have on all kinds of music. Some of the tunes one will hardly recognize at first. And--the best part of this recording is that you don't have to be in love to enjoy it! (though it wouldn't be bad that way, too)

Etta.......2007-05-30

Great songs and some very sensual! Perfect for a romantic dinner at home with candles.....

Gets better each time.......2007-04-02

This is one of those CD's that just keeps getting better with familiarity. Etta really puts her heart and soul into each song. I bought it for "At Last" but now love all the songs on it. It sounds like my old 45's, but in a good way.

Culled from the Columbia Records reissue packages, variously released under the multivolume Quintessential Billie Holiday umbrella, this package goes straight for the love songs, the heart of Holiday. Ranging from such playful lyrics as "Let's Do It" and "Them There Eyes" to such essential Holiday as "You Go to My Head," "The Very Thought of You," and "Easy Living," this set is guaranteed to keep the home fires burning brightly. Lay this one on your lover next Valentine's Day. As was so frequently the case with Holiday, the ensemble support is impeccable, including many of the swingers from Columbia's Greatest Hits package. The bonus here is Count Basie on piano, leading his swinging big band on "They Can't Take That Away from Me." --Willard Jenkins

Anybody who loves jazz and the blues cannot be without this Billie Holiday CD. I love it. I can listen to it all day. It's a pleasure to hear great jazz and such an incredible voice.

WOW!!.......2006-11-09

This cd was the first Billie Holiday I ever purchased. WOW! She is the greatest, bar none! EVERY serious lover of music needs this work to add to their collection. I had no idea how special she was and how timeless her work. I am a fan for life.

Great Collection of Billie Holiday Songs.......2006-10-06

There are so many fabulous reviews for this CD and I have to agree with them. I've been a Billie Holiday fan for years and own many discs of her music, but I find myself reaching for this one a lot. It's a great collection of songs and her voice is so sweet and true here. She's in top form and the arrangements on the songs are all excellent. Whoever put this CD together knew what they were doing. This is definitely Billie during the earlier part of her career and there's a real lightness to this music. (Her later music is great too, but very different.) Most of the songs on this CD are classics and even if you're unfamiliar with her, you'll probably still recognize many of them. There is some crackling background noise on some of the songs, since they were recorded back in the late thirties/early forties, though it's not that bad and most of the time you barely notice it. Some of the stand outs are "You Go To My Head", "The Very Thought of You", "Let's Do It", "The Way You Look Tonight", just to name a few. I think this would be a great introductory CD for someone who is curious about her and would like to hear some of her music.

Oh, Billie! HOW DIVINE !!!.......2006-08-25

This CD is an excellent collection of great songs performed by the incomparable and legendary Billie Holiday. Billie could conquer any song--from the most vulgar to the most sublime with an electric performance that rivals the best singers of the 20th century.

The CD begins so beautifully with Billie singing "All Of Me" and continues on into "You Go To My Head" by Gillespie and Coots. As with the rest of the songs on this CD, there is some background surface noise as these recordings by Billie were made in the 1930s and the very early 1940s. Nevertheless, there is a certain romantic style to each recording that leaves the listener wanting more after every track.

There songs on this CD are truly timeless; Billie sings such standards as "You Go To My Head," "The Man I Love," "Let's Do It," "The Way You Look Tonight" and "The Very Thought Of You." Don't play this CD for the first time without having time to relax and enjoy it with a glass of your favorite wine--you'll want to listen to it again after you've played it through because it's that beautiful and special.

The liner notes include an essay by Delfeayo Marsalis, the song credits and the dates Billie recorded them, a beautiful black and white photograph of Billie singing at the microphone on stage and the lyrics to "You Go To My Head" and "Easy Living."

I highly recommend this CD for fans of Billie Holiday, classic vocals and the standards of the entire 20th century. Although it is only one CD, it still is a very good representation of Billie's talent. It makes a great starter CD for people who want to find out more about Billie before they purchase box sets, too. A terrific experience to be enjoyed! SMILE

Classic Love Songs Sung by Phil.......2007-06-27

What can I say, Phil you've done it again. Once more you showed the world why you are one of the primier male R&B singers. A lot of people try to cover the classics but only a few can do it with such style and grace, and you are one of those few. Each song was sung with such care and feeling. Man you've done the originals (songs)proud and I believe the writers of these songs and are pleased that you have reminded us of what a love song is suppose to sound like. Phil, you da man!!

The Classic Love Songs by Phil Perry.......2007-01-11

Phil Perry is one of the most outstanding singers of all times. I love his music. This particular CD shows me a different side of him. It shows me a soft, mellow side of him. Hopefully, more people will experience this beautiful, classic CD.

Interested in visiting your favorite contestants from the second season of American Idol? Then this is the album for you, but be forewarned that something is lost in the translation from the small screen to the compact disc. Simon Cowell's scathing comments and Paula Abdul's head tossing add to the human drama; without those visual embellishments, the recorded version falls flat. Sure this is a talented bunch, but the material is mundane, with few of the finalists straying from the traditional arrangements. But when they do, it's sometimes worse. Ruben Stoddard's rendition of the Carpenters hit "Superstar" reeks of misplaced sincerity. The best cut on the disc is Kimberly Caldwell's throaty cover of Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly With His Song," which gives the song some well-needed grit. And while Julia Demato's voice is no match for Etta James's full-bodied version of "At Last," Demato gives the classic a fetching kittenish spin. --Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews:

THE BEST TALENT!!! some bad song selects............2007-06-29

Season 2 of american idol (in my opinion) had the best talent. the biggest voices and broke all stereotypes. although some people had there choice to win the finale (i really wanted kimberley locke to win), i thought they ended by pickin the right person. the previous season had there 'best' performances but this season did the opposite and decided to do love songs... honestly they should have did a greatest hits LP because i could name quite a few BRILLIANT performances by at least 5 of the contestants.

hands down the best track on the album is 'superstar' by ruben studdard. he channeled luther vandross sooooo amazingly that luther would be proud. 'killing me softley' my kim caldwell was awesome as well. she defiinatly brought the blue eyed soul on this track.

clay aiken, trenyce, charles grigsby, and carmen did great jobs on there songs as well....

now the bad.... i love kimberley locke and she did an brilliant job on 'somewhere over the rainbow', BUT the cd is called LOVE SONGS and that is not a love song at all. rickey is a great voice but his version of 'back to one' sounded EXACTLY like brian mcknight. josh gracin (was not my favourite) did a HORRIBLE job on this song... they should have gave him a country song to sing.

the class of season 2 will still be my favourite voices but i just wish they picked better songs for this cd.

3 stars out of 5

All Time Classic Love Songs...Ruined.......2006-07-18

Seriously, this CD is BAD. The only song that I can say is any good is Ruben Studdard's rendition of Superstar. And if you like that song, go buy Ruben's album, because this is not worth your money. The only reason I can see anyone buying this album, is if you are just into collecting AI merch. Other than than, SKIP THIS ONE.

this cd stinks!.......2005-09-25

This cd is obnoxious. The artists all seem to compete by seeing how many notes they can add into one syllable. I have never heard so many slides on the notes.

Sounds good.......2005-09-09

I really enjoyed this CD.
They picked good songs to sing and the vocals were good.

God Bless The USA was really good at the end!

I love what American Idol has done for singing!.......2005-08-10

As a professional singer and Voice Teacher, I am so thrilled to see how American Idol has given the art of singing such a jump start in these last few years.

These American Idol CDs and programs are filled with so much varying talents. From Hard rock to Country, America is becoming interested in identifying true talent. As an Opera Singer myself I can still enjoy the gifts of other genres and am sad to hear when others look down upon the show. Also, as a voice teacher of many styles I can't stress enough the need to my own students for them to develop themselves as a "Complete Unique Package". Finding their own true niche and style including: voice type, genre, best repertoire, to the the right audition outfit. American Idol teaches the same theories. Be true to yourself and your voice to get your best shot at this business of singing. I am an advocat for AI and all shows that encourage the high developement of arts in America. We come from a society that watched sports religiously on telievision (which is great) but there are so many talents to support including singing out there amongst us. American Idol gives artists and viewers a fantastic opportunity.

Back to when I believed in fairy tales...........2002-09-30

If you could, just for a moment, return to the days when fairy godmothers were real, when you really could turn four white mice into four white horses - then just buy this CD for a few smiles, a lot of memories, and the original Rodgers and Hammerstein tunes. This CD took me way back to when magic was there, and now it makes me wonder, everytime I listen to it, if maybe the magic isn't still there? Maybe I should just call on my fairy godmother..... A true heirloom of a CD.

The Glass Slipper Fits!.......2001-04-21

This is an excellent compilation of songs that express the longings, fears and exuberance of the Cinderella story. Rather than just relying of the romantic side of the myth, producer Bruce Kimmel adds depth to the story by including songs from The Slipper and The Rose and Sondheim's Into the Woods as well as the Disney and Roger & Hammerstein Cinderella versions.

When Susan Egan plans her strategy in "Promise Him Anything" and Pamela Winslow expresses her fear in "On the Steps of the Palace," the listener becomes aware of Cinderella's human side. Likewise, when Christa Moore shares her fantasy world "In My Own Corner" and Christina Noll expresses her thrill of her dream coming true in "Impossible/Suddenly It Happens," the listener is reminded of the powerful message of Cinderella's theme: dreams DO come true.

Fortunately, the compilation does not exclude humor as well. "The Stepsister's Lament" by Farah Alvin and Alet Oury is hilariously poignant; the lyrics "Why would a fellow want a girl like her? A frail and frocky beauty!" could be the alltime wallflowers' lament. And Jonathan Freeman's "What Has Love Got to Do with Getting Married?" is a droll piece of practical cynicism to his Prince son. (The song reminds me of the film Moonstruck. When Olympia DuKakis asks her daughter Cher, "Do you love him?" When Cher answered affirmatively, her mother muttered, "That's bad.")

Also, the musical bridges add to the suspense of the Cinderella story. "Midnight", "The Ball," and "If The Shoe Fits" from Prokofiev's ballet are beautifully orchestrated and remind the listener that the Cinderella myth is adaptable for many forms of entertainment.

I was a little disappointed that "So This is Love" and "The Work Song" was not included, but I guess I'm partial to the Disney version. The 1950 cartoon was my first introduction to Cinderella, and to my delight, my nephew enjoyed it as well thirty years later.

Nevertheless, this CD shows the timeless appeal of the Cinderella myth. Its beauty, humor and suspense is contained here in this magnificent collection.

Magical collection fit for a princess!.......1999-04-13

I was thrilled to come across this collection. One of my favorite movies, The Slipper and the Rose, had been out of print for many years. This CD includes 4 of the songs from that movie and though not by the original artists, just as good. The songs range from the whimsical to the romantic to a few comic gems, all from various stage and film Cinderella scores. "Tell Him Anything" from the Slipper and the Rose, a powerful song filled with longing and despair is sung movingly by Susan Egan, a nice change of pace from the cheerier, more sparkling numbers.

The score from Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is so charming and catchy it's fun to hear it again by new artists. The performers, all apparently Broadway singers (?), are all beautifully performed with exuberance and style. The orchestration is lush and appropriate to the material.

Fabuloso!!!! A must have!!!!.......1998-08-11

This is an AWESOME cd. It has songs from the original Rodgers and Hammerstein version, the Disney version, and Into the Woods. This is a faboulos collection of songs. Definetly buy it. NOW!!!!!

It's really good to have these love songs by Harold Arlen, George Gershwin, Arthur Schwartz, and Kurt Weill available in one place. Each is a charmer, with sometimes witty, always thoughtful lyrics; some are well known, others less so and three of the Kurt Weill songs have never before been recorded. American soprano Carole Farley has been singing some of opera's most demanding roles - Lulu and Salome - for over thirty years now, however, and there has been some toll on her voice. As an interpreter, she's insightful and articulate, but while she happily avoids any operatic posturing, there's no denying that her quasi-whispering at times is more necessary to keep the voice from shattering than an altogether artistic choice. John Constable's classy accompaniments help to bring out the inherent suavity in these songs. Those who really appreciate the elegance of Broadway during this 30-year period will be pleased with this recording. --Robert Levine

Classic performances of classic songs.......2007-07-07

For anyone with an interest in American song, I'd say that this album is a must-buy, offering beautiful interpretations of favourites and of several rarities, too.

Each of these twenty-two songs is a pleasure to hear. There's variety in the selection in both musical and lyrical style, but what they have in common is that all are -- or should become -- classics. I can't imagine why no-one has until now recorded Weill's "The Romance Of A Lifetime". We need to be grateful to Farley and Constable for also giving us "The River is So Blue" and "The Picture On The Wall" with Weill's music and Ann Ronell's lyrics.

Who can listen to Arthur Schwartz's "You and the Night and the Music" without wanting to move to its irresistible tango? And this performance of his "Dancing in the Dark" will lift the heart and brighten any gloom.

From Harold Arlen, we get seven delights, including a lilting "I had Myself a True Love" and a bluesy "When the Sun Comes Out". Farley and Constable's thoughtful readings of several other Arlen gems take us to the centres of these reflective pieces.

There are great interpretations out there of the Gershwins' "Isn't It a Pity?", but surely not many that combine the lift of George's music and the wit of Ira's lyrics into something so light that it floats away.

This happens through the collaboration of two great artists who have the musical chops to recognize classics when they discover them (as with the Weill rarities) and in their interpretations to find for us the essential character of each song. For comparison I listened to early recordings of some of these pieces, for example of Arlen singing his own work, and found them pleasant, clever, diverting perhaps, but ultimately ephemeral. Farley and Constable turn them into art. Farley knows how to shape a vocal phrase to open up the emotion in the words she's singing. Constable has a well-established reputation as a concert accompanist and collaborates without dominating. He thoroughly understands this idiom, giving sensitive and subtle readings, but is also quite capable of dazzling us with the bridge in Arlen's "Fun to be Fooled".

The voice Carole Farley has chosen is the only drawback to this album. I'm guessing that she correctly felt that an operatic voice would not suit this material and so altered her breath support to produce a smaller sound. Sadly this brings a thinness to her upper register, particularly on long vowels, that mars otherwise excellent performances. This would be a transcendent version of Gershwin's "Soon" except that Farley has to reach too hard for her high notes. I may be wrong about why the vocal quality is rough here and there, but at any rate this is not the voice we have on her recent recording of William Balcom songs, also on Naxos. This is reason to withhold a fifth star, but no reason not to buy a disc which has so much to offer.

In sum, this album provides sixty-six minutes of delight. The CD includes lyrics and notes on each song.

A wonderful set of mostly her own songs. Ms. Barrow has a warm, weonderful voice and is an accomplished vocalist. I highly recommend this cd to anyone and everyone.

All You Need is the Girl and the CD.......2003-09-04

Refreshing, nostalgic, soulful, dreamy and light are but a few of the words that I can write describing this wonderful album. The collection is marvelously done with April's beautiful voice and singing style and with the band's great sound that adds richness and depth to each and every song. Some albums have only have one or two songs that are worth listening to. On this album, every song is a winner, so I would recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys relaxing and easy listening music and wants to feel that they got their money's worth. I give it five stars! * * * * *

Outstanding!.......2001-11-29

After realizing the thrill of Ms. Barrows's first record "My Dream Is You," I've waited eagerly for more. And this release is just as joyful as her first. I play the two back-to-back when I commute two hours to visit family in Boston, and by the time I've arrived, I'm hoarse from singing along, trying to match April's magical vocals and the rich, expressive instrumentals at once. The lyrics are fresh; the musical conversation brilliant and enormously engaging--Long holiday lines at the Portsmouth tollbooth are now a welcome opportunity to play and sing all over again! Thank you April, Andy Reiss, David Hungate, Chris Brown, Denis Solee, Roy Huskey, and George Tidwell for bringing the world such happiness!

Grab the Bubble Bath!.......2007-01-17

Gotta love this: pretty, soothing, familiar music . . . with no words. My husband bought me one of these CD's on our honeymoon and I wore it out. This boxed set was a great find. Quite romantic playing in the background of a candle lit room. . .

Nice Debut!.......2001-11-03

Earwig records is a small label that has signed some pretty decent talent over the last several years including Big Jack Johnson "The Oil Man", Homesick James "Goin' Back In The Times", Pinetop Perkins "With the Blue Ice Band" and the lesser known Jimmy Dawkins "Kant Sheck These Bluze", Lovie Lee "Good Candy" Louisianna Red "Driftin' and H-Bomb Ferguson "Wiggin Out".

Despite the lack of a handle, Liz fits well with this group offering a traditional, gospel-tinged, approach to the blues. Like her colleagues, Liz does more than belt out a few tunes. On this CD, she also proves to be a capable composer, guitarist and vocalist. Her low down and somewhat gruff voice sets the table for some rather tasty numbers and her guitar work is pretty darn good. Best tunes on the disc are the title track "Ready To Cheat" and the slow-blues slide guitar number "Reefer Woman". With this release, Liz appears on the verge of a breakout.

Blues Perfection.......2000-11-15

I've had the pleasure of listening to Liz in concert regularly for the last five years. And though no recording can compete with the "live Liz" experience, this CD comes about as close as you can get. Though afraid at first that her second album wouldn't meet the high musical standard she set for herself with her debut, I had no need to be--this is even more polished, more versatile, more musically accomplished and lyrically rich. Though she's been compared to Bonnie Rait, Janis Joplin, and Etta James, Liz actually embodies the breadth of the best of the blues. A little Howlin' Wolf asserts itself in the gritty "Quit Doggin," and a little John Lee Hooker haunts "Goin Home." And yet, all in all, it's all Liz, especially on numbers like "Other Pants" and "Great Big Man," which are her prototypical, inimitable mix of humor and raunch just set to great music.

All the songs on this CD are original and there really isn't any better blues music being made today. Nor is there better blues music being performed or produced. Liz has the most accomplished blues musicians around bolstering her voice, which is not just powerful, but dynamic and beautiful to boot.

I myself still can't pick a best between "Look at Me" and "Ready to Cheat." My advice: be nice to yourself and get 'em both
